HOW TO AVOID MISTAKES WHEN BUYING LAND OR BUILDING IN NIGERIA
Anyone can pay for land or building in Nigeria, but not everyone truly owns what they pay for. That is the reality of property transactions in Nigeria, where one can buy land dispute with his/her own money.
This is why you cannot do without an experienced Property and Real Estate Lawyer when buying land or house in Nigeria.
The Property Lawyer will conduct due diligence (investigation) over the property of interest. Don’t assume anything is true.
This is full-scale legal search and investigation. The Lawyer will dig deep to confirm the true owner, trace the ownership, verify documents and expose dangers like claims, issues, Government acquisition or competing interests.
Without this, you are likely buying a land case. You can even be in possession but you do not have valid/legal ownership.
If the Lawyer confirms that there are no issues with the land/building, he will prepare the right purchase documents, ensuring that every clause is clear, enforceable and fully complies with Nigerian property laws.
This whole thing is designed to secure and defend your property and ownership interests now and in the future.
This applies to anyone who wants to buy land/house in Nigeria, whether you are in Nigeria or anywhere around the world.
Before you pay, sign or celebrate, engage a Property and Real Estate Lawyer.
If the law is not on your side the property is not yours.
