THE ROLE OF INFRASTRUCTURAL FACILITIES ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY VALUES IN NIGERIA.
ABSTRACT
Infrastructure play a vital role in the determination of rental values on residential property in the society. It is an embracing concept for the wide range of services offered by the government of any country in order to facilitate healthy living aesthetic. Infrastructural facilities include water supply, electricity, drainage, communication. However all point to the fact that infrastructure is the basis of development of any nation and that its provision in most cases is by the government. Non- existence of these infrastructural facilities will lead therefore lead to isolation of any nation within or without economic stagnancy, retarded national development and most of all, may create problem against the populace.
CHAPTER ONE
 1.0  INTRODUCTION
One of the most remarkable improvements associated with the process of socio-economic changes in Nigeria during the last fifty years has been the clamor for the increase in the state of infrastructural facilities.
        Â
Infrastructural facilities embraces entirely any services in which the various levels of government in the country as well as various communities are collectively involved in its provision.
This also includes services provided by voluntary agencies and private individuals.
Infrastructure is an embracing concept for the wide range of services offered by the government of any country in order to facilitate health living aesthetic.  Infrastructural facilities include; water supply, electricity, transportation, drainage system, communication e.t.c. Non existence of these infrastructural facilities in any residential property will affect the rental value of such property.
In the light of the harsh condition Nigeria has been going through recently, skyrocketing cost of building materials and construction, high cost of finance and unpredictable economic condition, there has been decrease in infrastructure and little or no maintenance of the existing stock.  Investment must be strategically positioned where it has access to basic infrastructure so as to keep the property in a state to command a constant flow of income or benefit and appreciate it capital value.
Considering the problem of increasing the cost of providing infrastructure, the dilapidated one are still in use, the federal government and it agencies left the petroleum trust fund [P.T.F] doing all they could to improve the present infrastructure facility stock. But the fact remains that, the government does not have enough fund to improve on the entire stock.
1.1Â Â Â Â BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Real estate developers were constantly faced with the issue of making decisions on the type of property to invest their hard earned income or highly competitive, secured mortgage funds, which were attached with high lending rates. Property developers who want to invest in residential building development should endeavor to provide these two infrastructures amongst others with a view to earn attractive rental values on their residential property in Niger state in particular, towns and cities in developing countries. The study revealed that infrastructural facilities contribute 30.50% in the determination of rental values residential buildings in Niger state of which the provision of wall-fence round the building and installation of burglary proof in the entire window played the most important infrastructure. It is hoped that this will assist the local planning authorities to map out proposal/development in their different areas of jurisdiction in addition; it will render meaningful in the development of strategies for estate layout that will promote urban environmental quality thereby enhancing property values in the areas. The primary data collected were subjected to multiple regression analysis and the determination of the effect of the available infrastructure such as water, electricity, access road, kitchen, toilet, refuse disposal facility, wall-fence, installed burglary proof, drainage channel, day watch security and night watch security services. Government should continue to embark on comprehensive road rehabilitation by tarring all the roads in the areas of the city suffering from poor road network, poor electricity. It has now been realized that state government cannot provide all the necessary facilities, hence individuals and federal government should come to the aid of the state government for the provision of the essential infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity supply e.t.c.         Â
