IMPORTANCE OF VERIFYING OFFICIAL LAND USAGE REGULATIONS BEFORE BUYING LAND

IMPORTANCE OF VERIFYING OFFICIAL LAND USAGE REGULATIONS BEFORE BUYING LAND

Buying land in Nigeria is a serious investment that must be approached cautiously due to the complex nature of land use designation rules. Land zoning dictates how land within specific areas can be used — whether for residential, commercial, agricultural or industrial purposes.

Before buying land, it is important for you to consult a Property Lawyer to verify the zoning status of the property, ensuring it aligns with your intended use and safeguarding them from legal or financial repercussions.

Purchasing residentially zoned land with the intention to develop a commercial complex will lead to serious conflicts with regulatory authorities, fines or even property seizure.

A Property Lawyer/Attorney will guide a buyer on whether the land can legally accommodate his planned project.

A Property Lawyer will identify other existing issues/restrictions that may not be obvious. With his extensive knowledge of zoning laws, a Property Lawyer will help a buyer avoid lands with hidden legal restrictions that could derail his project.

Verifying land zoning through a Property Lawyer is a preventive measure that can save a land buyer from costly legal disputes, ensure compliance with land regulations and provide peace of mind. Avoid unwanted surprises and secure a stable investment.
