Housing provision, is a capital intensive, which requires huge financial obligations, the requirement that is tough to meet by many households, thereby leading to ever-increasing housing stock deficit in Nigeria. Over the years, government made some efforts trying to meet up with housing finance demands of the citizens through the creation of mortgage institutions to mobilise and facilitate housing finance, delivery and ownership, especially among the low and medium income groups. Despite all efforts, conditions attached to housing finance, accessibility remained a clog in the wheel of housing provision and ownership to especially low and medium income groups. The purpose of this research is to investigate accessibility of Primary Mortgage Institutions housing finance by potential consumers. The paper explored qualitative research methodology in data collection and analysis using Nvivo tool. It was found, conditions attached to housing finance accessibility remained the primary factor that deprived most of the prospective borrowers. Therefore, accessing housing finance from the Primary Mortgage Institutions remain a key challenge to most low and medium income groups which also hampered housing provision and ownership.
