INVESTIGATE LAND/BUILDING BEFORE BUYING

INVESTIGATE LAND/BUILDING BEFORE BUYING

Every piece of land tells a story and not all stories end well.

Many Nigerians lose millions of naira because they rush into land/building buying transactions without knowing the legal issues surrounding that land.

Before you pay for that “too good to miss” land, has the seller shown you his registered Survey Plan and Deed of Conveyance/Assignment or a C of O?

Are you sure the land is not under Government acquisition? Do you know if the seller is even the real owner? These must not be overlooked.

A proper land due diligence (investigation) handled by a Property Lawyer can save you from the headache of discovering that your new land belongs to someone else or falls within a disputed area.

In Nigeria, fake documents look real and sweet deals often hide bitter truths. So before you transfer one naira or sign, get an experienced Property Lawyer to verify everything, from ownership history to the authenticity of the documents.

Do not rely on the seller’s words or that of the agent. The fact that people are building nearby does not mean the land or even the area is safe to buy.

Many have built on trouble without knowing it. Real security begins with proper verification, not just physical possession.

A land/housing buying deal done right gives you lasting ownership and security, the kind that no dispute or Government takeover can shake.
