Your auditors need a number that holds. Your lender needs confidence. Your building needs to perform. Your development needs to stack up before you commit. Eight specialist services built around what you need to decide, protect, and grow — not around what we want to sell.
Every OEA engagement is scoped from your specific situation — not adapted from a standard template. You pay for a result: a defensible valuation, a building that performs, a portfolio that grows. If it doesn't reduce your cost or add measurable value, we haven't done our job.
Property carries risk — regulatory, financial, physical. OEA's ISO 31000 risk frameworks and 40 years of Nigerian market data mean your exposure is identified before it materialises, not after. Your risks are mapped, transferred where possible, and managed where not.
OEA's principals are reachable, present, and accountable on your asset. Experience and deep market familiarity means we are proactive — not reactive. Problems are identified before they escalate. Solutions are implemented with precision. Reports are delivered on time.
ESG is no longer optional for institutional-grade assets. OEA's sustainability advisory, energy reduction programmes and green building initiatives protect your asset's value against an increasingly ESG-conscious investor and tenant market — in Nigeria and internationally.
Your auditors, lenders and board all need a number that holds under scrutiny. OEA's NIESV-accredited RSVs deliver RICS Red Book compliant valuations — for IFRS reporting, mortgage security, insurance, litigation and investment decisions.
Your building is costing more than it should — in maintenance spend, energy waste, compliance risk and tenant dissatisfaction. OEA's ISO 41001-certified FM team turns that around, measurably, across every sector nationwide.
Vacant units, late rent, deteriorating assets, difficult tenants — these are symptoms of a management gap. OEA handles leasing, rent collection, lease execution and maintenance so your portfolio performs to its potential.
A portfolio without an active management strategy loses value quietly — through underperforming assets, poor allocation and missed disposal windows. OEA's ISO 55001-aligned systems track, optimise and grow your real estate holdings.
Property developments fail on procurement, timelines and cost overruns — not on vision. OEA manages your project through every stage: acquisition decisions, contract administration, development monitoring, procurement and team coordination.
Before you commit capital, land or planning resource — know whether the numbers work and the market is ready. OEA's market research, financial modelling and viability appraisals give you the evidence to proceed with confidence or pivot early.
Wrong land price. Wrong product mix. Wrong phasing. Any one of these destroys a development's returns. OEA draws on 40 years of market data to stress-test your assumptions — land value, construction costs, fund releases and projected yields.
A borrower has defaulted. Legislation has shifted. Market conditions have changed. The clock is running. OEA's legal and valuation team structures the best settlement recovery — independent, defensible, and fast enough to matter.

A valuation is only as good as what happens when it gets challenged — by your auditors, your lender, the CBN, or a court. That moment is when the quality of your valuer's credentials, methodology and market evidence either protects you or exposes you. OEA's NIESV-accredited Registered Surveyors & Valuers prepare every report under RICS Red Book Global Standards, peer-reviewed and defensible under the highest scrutiny.
Brief confirmation, scope definition, fee agreement
Physical survey, data collection, market evidence
Comparable analysis, methodology selection, modelling
RICS-compliant report, peer reviewed, delivered
It costs tenant retention. Lease renewals. Asset value. And in an institutional portfolio, those losses compound faster than any maintenance spend ever could. OEA's ISO 41001:2018-certified FM team deploys proven systems — not ad hoc fixes — across your commercial estate, government facility or residential development. The CBN and NCC didn't choose OEA for FM because we were the cheapest option. They chose us because we deliver measurable results.
Condition survey, risk assessment, baseline benchmarking
Service level agreements, resource planning, KPIs
Team mobilisation, systems integration, go-live
Monthly reporting, SLA tracking, continuous improvement
When legislation shifts, markets move against an obligor, or financial commitments breach — every week without a clear recovery structure costs the lender more. OEA's team has operated in exactly these conditions across Nigerian financial markets. We understand the regulatory landscape, know how courts and institutions assess recovery claims, and structure settlements that are defensible, independent, and built to close — not to generate further advisory fees.
The Afreximbank African Trade Centre is one of Sub-Saharan Africa's most significant commercial real estate developments. OEA was mandated to deliver the full asset valuation in compliance with RICS Red Book Global Standards — a testament to the trust placed in our expertise by Africa's premier trade finance institution.
This mandate demonstrates OEA's capacity to deliver institutional-grade advisory on Africa's most complex real estate assets — the same capability we bring to every client engagement, regardless of scale.
Every OEA mandate is scoped from your specific situation — not adapted from a standard template and rebranded with your name. We analyse your asset, your market, your risk profile and your objectives before a single word of the report is written. You get OEA's full attention, not a junior team running a template inherited from a previous client.
The CBN's auditors, IFRS requirements and international lenders all have the same answer: yes. OEA operates within ISO 55001, ISO 41001, ISO 31000 and ISO 45001 frameworks — the same management systems used by the world's largest corporate property divisions. These standards don't just sit on paper; they govern how every engagement is scoped, executed and reviewed.
No international firm's Lagos office can match what 40 years of transactional practice produces. OEA holds comparable evidence, market data and on-the-ground intelligence across all 36 states — Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu, Onitsha and beyond. That depth is what makes an OEA valuation defensible where a global firm's estimate would be challenged.
OEA's principals — RICS Fellows, IFMA Members, IWFM Fellows — are directly engaged on every mandate. You are not passed to a graduate team once the contract is signed. The person with 40+ years of market experience, a doctoral research background and an international arbitration qualification is the person accountable for your outcome. That is not something any large firm can offer.
RICS Red Book compliant valuation reports, delivered within agreed timelines. Accepted by all Nigerian financial institutions, the CBN, AMCON, and international lenders. If your previous valuer missed a deadline or produced a report your auditors questioned — call us before the next reporting cycle.
A no-obligation FM audit identifies cost reduction opportunities, compliance gaps and performance improvements across your portfolio. Most clients find savings that more than cover our fee in the first quarter. The audit takes two weeks. The savings last years.
