Just last week a Caucasian (white) male in Philadelphia, United States of America (USA), contacted Apex Chambers seeking legal consultation for his company’s project in Enugu, Nigeria. It involved buying landed property, and he recognized the necessity of expert legal guidance on property laws.
Property acquisition by Nigerians and Foreigners is governed by the Land Use Act.
Land ownership and interests verification is important, as fraudulent sales and defective ownership are very common. A Property Lawyer will help you confirm land document authenticity and check for government acquisitions, designation for particular use or disputes.
Consult a Property Lawyer to help you draft and prepare land documents like Deed of Conveyance and Deed of Assignment, and will ensure it protects the buyer’s interests and adhere to Nigerian property laws. A Property Lawyer will also safeguard against scams such as multiple sales of the same land or fake documents.
For the USA client, Apex Chambers carefully explained Nigeria’s real estate laws; verified the property’s ownership; ensured legal compliance and drafted comprehensive land purchase documents.
Legal consultation is needed when buying property in Nigeria to avoid fraud, disputes and financial loss.
Be wise.
