Just yesterday, a new client seeking to buy a piece of land near Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria called Apex Chambers, best Property, Real Estate, Business/Commercial Lawyers, Barristers, Solicitors, Attorneys and Notary Public, on phone, booked an appointment for today and came to our Law Firm today.
After a very detailed legal consultation, he engaged Apex Chambers to conduct due diligence/investigation so as to confirm that it was a safe transaction.
He also engaged Apex Chambers to prepare the necessary land documents and process the Certificate of Occupancy as well as to get an experienced Registered Surveyor to draw up a registered survey plan.
