COMMON SENSE WILL NOT HELP YOU AVOID PROPERTY & BUSINESS LEGAL TROUBLE

COMMON SENSE WILL NOT HELP YOU AVOID PROPERTY & BUSINESS LEGAL TROUBLE

In our long years of legal practice, we have noticed that many property buyers in Nigeria dangerously rely on “native intelligence,” the gut feeling or street-smart instinct, to sniff out property/land fraud or issues.

They call it using “number 6.” Sadly, number 6 is not due diligence or legal guidance, and it won’t count when you lose millions of naira to a cleverly disguised property or business scam.

Common sense might help you bargain price or spot a dubious person, but it cannot uncover forged documents, family disputes, government acquisition or legal wahala buried in land records. That’s the exclusive work of an experienced Property Lawyer.

The danger is that buyers end up paying for land twice. First to a smiling fraudster, then to the rightful owner. Some find their homes marked for demolition or sealed off by court order they never saw coming.

Others unknowingly walk into long-standing family tussle, buying land that was not for sale in the first place.

Land documents can look genuine but be completely worthless and common sense will fail you. Every square metre of land carries a legal story, and only a trained Property Lawyer knows how to read it.

Before you trust your instincts remember this: number 6 can spot a pickpocket, but it can’t outsmart a land scammer.

Get a Property Lawyer.

It’s not caution; it’s wisdom.
