LET A PROPERTY LAWYER INVESTIGATE THAT LAND/BUILDING YOU WANT TO BUY
At Apex Chambers we have come to the realization that too many people in Nigeria fall into the error of trusting land/building sellers and agents without verifying ownership.
They pay for land/building with joy, only to face unpleasant surprises later: multiple ownership claims on the same land, forged land documents or the land is already used as collateral for a loan (i.e. mortgage), etc.
Buying land without investigating its ownership should be included in 1,000 ways to die.
Land ownership documents like Deed of Conveyance indicate who owns it but only the investigations conducted by an experienced Property/Real Estate Lawyer will confirm whether the land seller has the legal authority to sell.
Without this professional check your transaction is shaky, no matter how genuine the seller appears to you.
Most people are not what they portray themselves to be. The earlier you knew this, the better.
At Apex Chambers, we have saved clients from making terrible mistakes and losses in land purchase by uncovering fake documents, double sales and cleverly hidden land issues.
Sadly, some come to us only after paying, when the damage is almost impossible to reverse.
Before you pay for land, let a trusted Property Lawyer verify the status of the land.
Real estate fraudsters thrive on buyers who skip proper legal search.
