Welcome to Fairview's FAQ section. Below are answers to the most common questions from property seekers and property owners.
From Property Owners
How can I list my property?
Simply click “Add Your Property”, fill out the short form, then send us clear photos of your basic documentation. A team member will get in touch to schedule an inspection—once that’s done, your property goes live.
Do you charge for property listings?
Listing is free. We only charge a 5% finder's fee after a successful transaction.
Is the 5% finder’s fee added to the price of the property/space or deducted from it?
The 5% finder’s fee can either be added on top of the price or deducted from it—depending on the property owner's preference. This is usually clarified before the property is displayed.
What type of documents do I need to list my property?
You’ll need a valid ID and proof of ownership.
- Valid ID: A clear picture of your International Passport, Voter’s Card, or NIN Slip/Card.
- Proof of Ownership: This can include a photo of your land documents (Local Government or State-issued), Deed of Assignment, Building Plan, or Receipt of Purchase.
Can I update my listing after it’s live?
