GET A PROPERTY LAWYER WHEN BUYING LAND/BUILDING IN NIGERIA

That land/building you paid for may not be yours.

Dike thought he had secured his future. He paid in full for a nice piece of land with an uncompleted building, collected receipt and started fencing it.

Sadly, another buyer showed up with a registered Deed of Conveyance. In the eyes of the law, Dike had nothing.

Payment, possession or even building on land does not give you ownership.

Ownership is only legally recognized when it is properly documented in a valid, written legal document prepared the right way.
This is where most people get it wrong.

Buying land or property is not just a financial decision; it is a legal transaction. Every land has a history: ownership issues, Government interest, claims or unknown issues that only an experienced Lawyer can see.

Without proper due diligence (investigation) you are likely buying trouble.

An experienced Property and Real Estate Lawyer does not just draft land/house purchase documents. He investigates, verifies, protects and ensures that what you are paying for is genuine, transferable and legally secure.

He must be involved early before payment, before you make mistake, because once money is paid, fixing errors becomes harder, costlier and sometimes impossible.

For Nigerians at home and abroad, be careful when buying land or building.

So avoid land/building purchase errors.
