00:00 Good evening everyone, welcome to this new issue of "Lightning", the magazine of the great reports of the editorial of this information.
00:07 Today we are addressing the issue of housing in Ivory Coast.
00:11 In Abidjan, the Ivorian economic capital, the search for an apartment is not an easy thing.
00:17 The rents are high and vary from one municipality to another.
00:21 Agency fees, visit fees, work certificates, so many obligations that the future tenant must submit if he wants to have a house.
00:31 Housing in Abidjan, more than a combatant's walk, an exclusive report of this information.
00:37 In search of a house in Abidjan, it is a day of visit for Junior Karamoko, a 27-year-old young man.
00:50 Sanitary, living room, room equipped with a closet, everything meets Junior's expectations.
00:57 All for a monthly rent of 200,000 francs EFA.
01:00 A sum quite justified according to the promoter.
01:04 The price of the houses varies depending on the municipality.
01:06 If you want to live in a municipality like Kokodi, you will see that the price is very often raised in this region of the municipality.
01:11 But if you want a house for a low budget, there is Yopougon and Abogo.
01:15 So if you want to live in Kokodi with a budget of Yopougon, it is not feasible.
01:20 Although he appreciated the apartment, Junior still declined the offer.
01:30 So he continued his research in another municipality.
01:33 Abidjan is not easy.
01:36 We need to have the means to have a house that we will like.
01:41 When you find a house that you like, you don't have the means.
01:45 We will continue to look and try to do with.
01:47 In their quest for the ideal housing, the Ivorians can count on the walkers.
01:52 Under this tree, we attend one of their meetings.
01:56 A meeting, spread out by calls from people looking for housing.
02:00 Yes, the village is available, you can come.
02:05 Yes, there is a city.
02:08 I have a house in my neighborhood.
02:14 It's good, the house is very big.
02:17 There are two and the first.
02:20 In the essential quarter.
02:24 Yes, it is available.
02:26 There is no problem here, the house is for seven months.
02:30 There is no problem, you say?
02:35 Yes, you have written it in the diagram.
02:38 There is no problem.
02:41 The normal is five months, like the state of the world.
02:48 But there are other owners who have made their heads.
02:52 We are just walkers, reporters.
02:54 We say what we will repeat.
02:56 There is a house of 110,000, the owner demands seven months.
03:00 Now, less than that, it's not worth it.
03:04 As soon as the meeting is over, the visitors resume for the walkers.
03:09 Among them, a woman, Mariam Bamba, accompanied by colleagues.
03:13 She sells to her client the merits of this apartment.
03:18 There is a balcony.
03:25 The balcony is not the balcony.
03:29 Large space, kitchen and living room, bright for these three rooms.
03:34 Cost of rent, 200,000 francs and end.
03:37 We are in Côte Côte d'Ivoire, it is normal that apartments are expensive compared to other municipalities.
03:44 Since here the land is also very expensive.
03:47 So that's why the prices vary.
03:50 And now the rent is required here, for example, if the rent for the apartment is how much?
03:56 It's five months of rent.
03:58 Two months in advance, two months of rent and then a month after the agency.
04:02 So for the visit, how much will the woman pay?
04:06 We pay 5,000 francs for three visits, three house visits.
04:09 In case she did not appreciate that we have another proposal, she can visit two other houses.
04:15 Even if today we could not have all three houses,
04:19 soon we can call her again so that she can come visit other houses with the 5,000 francs.
04:25 The client who sees the ad on Facebook, the connection that is used,
04:31 so that he can see the ad on social networks, it's money.
04:35 The calls we put in, because usually the good can not be for you directly,
04:41 it can be for one of your colleagues.
04:43 You have to call this last person, it's money that you get.
04:46 That's a second point.
04:48 A third point, there are clients who make you move.
04:50 You pay for the transport, you come and then the client does not come.
04:54 You paid for your transport from point A to point B in a useless way.
04:59 Who pays you back this money?
05:01 There are also some clients who, for a pleasure, want to walk.
05:05 They do not look for a house.
05:07 The guy will take you two hours to go from point A to point B.
05:11 He will see this house, I will see this house, I will see this house.
05:14 When you finish in that, you can easily have three hours.
05:18 And the time you spend there, who pays you back?
05:20 That's a second point.
05:22 A third point, there are clients who come to see a house.
05:24 The guy comes and says, I saw the house, I'm not going there, my wife.
05:28 He will never call you back.
05:30 I saw this house, I'm not going there, my dad.
05:32 He will not call you back.
05:34 So you see, all these things,
05:36 and it's somehow to compensate for this lost time,
05:40 that we put the 5,000 francs as a visitation fee.
05:42 The agent fees, we take it for the services we do.
05:46 When you move an agent, he comes to you, he shows you several houses.
05:50 And when you are satisfied, when you take the house,
05:53 we automatically have a month's rent.
05:56 So two months of caution, two months in advance, as the state says.
06:01 Now there is a month's fee for the satisfaction of the steps we have taken, of course.
06:07 After the visit, the walkers take pictures again,
06:11 in order to post them on the different platforms,
06:13 in order to keep the clientele in the mood.
06:16 Unfortunately, for the walkers, the job is not easy.
06:21 In any case, it is difficult, but at least we do it.
06:25 It's not normal, in any case.
06:27 It's not reliable.
06:29 The real estate sector is particularly competitive in Côte d'Ivoire.
06:38 Real estate agencies and walkers are at war.
06:42 Here, in this real estate agency in the Palmereys,
06:46 several techniques are used to attract its clientele.
06:49 How can I help you, please?
06:59 I would like to buy an apartment.
07:03 Okay.
07:04 A three-room apartment.
07:06 Okay, you are looking for a three-room apartment.
07:09 What is the area in which you would like to have your three-room apartment?
07:13 In the area of the Palmereys.
07:17 Okay.
07:18 In the area of the information and the housing.
07:22 First, we take all the contours.
07:24 That is, we first try to understand what the client is really looking for,
07:29 what type of housing he is looking for, the area to be searched for,
07:33 the type of housing, medium standing, high standing, economic and everything.
07:38 Then, according to his budget, we make him proposals.
07:42 And of course, as a real estate agency, we have a network.
07:46 We have a network of real estate agencies.
07:49 If we personally do not have one in our portfolio,
07:52 we contact our peers who are able to guide us in relation to the request of our client.
07:57 The real estate agencies have a legal basis,
07:59 in particular from the law 576-2019 of June 26, 2019,
08:04 and also in the regulatory provisions on the pricing of the services of real estate agents
08:10 approved by the State of Côte d'Ivoire under Article 24.
08:13 So, it clearly stipulates that the real estate agencies have one month of rent to pay by the client, by the tenant.
08:22 The high cost of housing is indeed a cause, according to this real estate specialist.
08:28 We are facing the housing crisis at the moment in Côte d'Ivoire.
08:32 That is, for example, the price of square meters has increased,
08:35 the prices of materials that have become extremely expensive,
08:38 and of course, this has a negative influence on the prices of rents that have increased completely.
08:43 Therefore, a simple official who would like to be in a pleasant environment,
08:49 will of course find himself facing a fairly high rent price,
08:52 and often not having the means, will not be able to afford to live comfortably, especially in Abidjan.
09:00 In Abidjan, there are more than 5 million inhabitants for a deficit of 600,000 housing.
09:07 To overcome these difficulties, the Ivorian government has set the quotient at 4 months,
09:14 that is, 2 months in advance and 2 months of quotient,
09:18 an initiative that is not always respected on the ground.
09:22 Thus, to allow more people to live, the authorities even consider the construction of several social housing.
09:30 The overall need is 600,000 housing.
09:33 When we count in the city of Abidjan, the housing needs are 600,000 housing.
09:38 We are on a program of 150,000 housing, but which is only partial.
09:42 But for the whole city of Abidjan to be properly housed, decently housed, in a secure way,
09:50 outside of everything that is anarchic installation, everything that is informal neighborhood,
09:56 everything that is precarious neighborhood, etc., we need 600,000 housing, 600,000 housing units.
10:04 A project that will certainly contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the Ivorians,
10:09 who for the most part do not have the means to afford a house that meets their daily needs.
10:15 End of this report, thank you all for following it.
10:18 The information continues on this info and on this info.ci.
10:22 End of this report, thank you all for following it.
