Petithaus

Petithaus is a web-based housing and homebuilding solution for Nigerians who want a more affordable path to buying land with verifiable titles and building homes in urban locations.

Key capabilities include:

• Plot-Share (Land-Pool) co-ownership: enables a small group (typically 3–5 people, sometimes up to 6) to jointly buy land in equal fractions, share acquisition and statutory costs, and still receive full title rights to clearly defined portions.
• Verified land listings and buyer due diligence: lists land presented as having clean and confirmed titles (examples referenced include C of O, Governor’s Consent, Deed of Assignment, registered survey/layouts) and provides listing details to support informed decisions.
• Documentation and approvals support: assists with documentation and physical planning/building permit processes connected to the co-ownership journey, reducing the legal and technical workload for buyers.
• Design and build options for cost control: offers design consultation, compact home concepts (Petit-Haus), and starter homes (semi-complete, move-in-ready units that can be upgraded later) for Plot-Share subscribers, plus the option to build at a pace that matches income.

Available on Web via petithaus.com and the browser-based app at app.petithaus.com (no download stated).

Petithaus primarily serves individuals and families in Nigeria, especially low- and middle-income earners looking to buy land and build in places such as Lagos and Abuja, and landowners with verifiable titles who want to sell through its model.

It is notable in the Nigerian market for combining fractional land ownership, title verification, and planning-to-build support in one workflow, with an explicit focus on affordable urban homeownership aligned with SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).
