CONFIRM LAND CO-ORDINATES BEFORE YOU BUY

CONFIRM LAND CO-ORDINATES BEFORE YOU BUY

A Nigerian man living abroad finally achieved his dream of owning land in Nigeria.

His relative found the land. The seller, a middle-age man, looked genuine and the documents appeared complete.

Confident, he paid.

Years later, he discovered that the land he bought was not where he thought it was.

No verification was done before he paid.
Many land buyers focus on the seller, price and purchase document, but ignore the land co-ordinates.

Co-ordinates are what identify the exact location of a property on the ground. Without verified co-ordinates and a registered Survey Plan, there may be no reliable way to confirm the true location, boundaries or legal status of the land.

A land purchase document may look authentic, but if the co-ordinates are wrong, duplicated or linked to another land, the buyer could face disputes and loss of ownership.

Whether you are in Nigeria or abroad, an experienced Property and Real Estate Lawyer will help you prevent this problem. The Lawyer will verify ownership, review survey documents, conduct official searches and ensure the land being sold is the same land being described on paper.

At Apex Chambers, we always emphasize that land/building should never be bought on trust.

Before paying for any land/house, ensure that the co-ordinates and Survey Plan are properly verified by an experienced Property Lawyer.

Avoid regrets.
