How Ule Homes is turning Nigeria’s rent challenge into opportunity with proptech innovation

What began as a classroom project has become a proptech startup helping Nigerians access housing without the burden of lump-sum rent payments. Ule Homes pays a tenant’s rent upfront and lets users repay monthly, easing cash-flow barriers and building credit history along the way.

Founded in 2024 by Chisom Okorie, Omolade Akinwumi, and Azeez Abdulyekeen, the Lagos-based startup has disbursed over ₦700 million in rent and housing finance across Lagos, Abuja, and Ibadan, and continues to expand its product suite to include rent-to-own and mortgage solutions.

Ule Homes’ selection for the Antler 2025 programme and win at the Moonshot startup battlefield underscores growing interest in proptech solutions that address core affordability challenges in Nigeria’s housing market.
