“Wisdom is profitable to direct” is not just a bible verse; it is a life-saving principle especially in property and business transactions.
Yesterday, a smart young man took a step many only wish they had taken before paying for land/building. He searched online and found Apex Chambers – globally ranked on Google as the No. 1 Property and Business Law Firm in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.
He wanted to buy land from a real estate company, but before paying a kobo, he engaged Apex Chambers to interphase with the company and conduct comprehensive due diligence investigations on the property.
Due diligence in a land transactions is a careful and detailed legal investigation carried out to verify the truth behind the land you want to buy.
It involves confirming that the seller has valid ownership or legal right to sell; the land is not under government acquisition; disputed or tied up in court case; checking seller’s documents, survey plans, physical inspection and cross-checking all relevant documents with appropriate authorities.
Sadly, many people rush into buying property based on sweet words and glossy brochures.
This young man’s decision is a masterstroke of foresight in a market full of real estate scams, misleading offers and half-truths.
So uncover the truth behind that land. Every wise investor needs that kind of shield.
