CONSULT A PROPERTY LAWYER WHEN BUYING LAND OR BUILDING IN NIGERIA
Buying land or building in Nigeria without consulting a Property Lawyer is like setting sail without a compass. You may think you’re on the right path until disaster strikes.
Many buyers, eager to secure a property, often rely on verbal assurances, vague documents or the advice of non-professionals. Sadly, this can lead to devastating consequences, legal troubles or even total loss of property.
A Property Lawyer ensures that you are not buying government-acquired land, disputed property or one with hidden problems. He conducts due diligence (investigations), verifies land ownership and drafts perfect purchase agreements and documents that protect your land investment.
Without a Property Lawyer, you risk buying from fraudsters, facing court case or even watching your building get demolished by authorities due to improper steps.
Many buyers unknowingly buy and build on land designated for other purposes, leading to demolition. You don’t want that. Do you?
Beyond paperwork, a skilled Property Lawyer also protects you from unfavourable terms, fraudulent sellers and loopholes that could cost you a lot.
Buying land or building is capital intensive and must be done the right way. Invest in it with the guidance of an experienced Property Lawyer.
