When buying property, land/building, it is wise that you prioritize conducting due diligence to be sure that you’re not buying into avoidable trouble.
Is the person putting himself out as the owner truly the owner? Are the ownership documents he is presenting fake or forged? Any proposed government interest or actual acquisition of the property?
Is the area designated by government/authorities for a specific use that may not align with your plans for that property? There are much more numerous issues that could be unearthed during due diligence.
You can’t afford risk buying a property without doing due diligence.
In these days and times where fraud, scam and deceit are widespread, chances are that you will fall into the hands of fraudsters, scammers and dubious persons when buying or transacting in property, land/building if you fail to embark on complete due diligence (investigations) over the property of interest.
It is always wise not to conduct this due diligence by yourself as you may not have the needed skill set, knowledge, expertise and professional capacity to do a thorough job.
Consult an experienced Property Lawyer to properly investigate the property and ascertain if there are any issues that would work against your property or financial interests in the property.
