Abstract

The research analysed the impact of pipe line vandalism and explosion on residential property values at Abule – Egba, in Lagos-State. The data for the study were gathered through questionnaires administered on tenants and Landlords residing within 25km to the pipeline and the resident Estate Firms in Alimosho local government. A total of 55 questionnaires were retrieved from the Estate Surveying and Valuation firms while 333 questionnaires were retrieved from the residents in the study area. The data was collected using a 5 Point Likert Scale and same was analysed via the Relative Importance Index and T-Test analysis. The findings of the study revealed that poor government policies, corruption,unemployment amongst others are the causes of pipeline vandalism and explosion. The study also found out that Estate Surveyors and Valuers found it difficult to market properties for letting and sales within this neigbourhood. The study therefore recommends incorporation of best practices into pipeline management in order to galvanize the residential property market within the proximate of the pipeline.
