NEVER BUY LAND/HOUSE IN NIGERIA WITHOUT A PROPERTY LAWYER
One of the most expensive mistakes Nigerians make in real estate when buying land/house is thinking engaging a Property Lawyer is not necessary.
He determines secure property ownership and helps you escape property investment wahala.
Buying land or house in Nigeria is not a simple exchange of money for property.
It is a legal transaction surrounded by forged documents, multiple claims, ownership and boundary tussles, Government acquisitions, revoked rights, defective consents and untruthful/fraudulent sellers and realtors who just want to cash out.
A very experienced Property Lawyer knows how to fish them out and help you avoid them before irreparable damage is done.
A Property Lawyer conducts deep due diligence (search) to confirm ownership, verify documents, uncover pending disputes, check Government interests and ensure the property can legally be transferred to you.
He drafts solid purchase documents that protect your money and investment. He also ensures all legal requirements are properly complied with, so your ownership is legally secure.
If you buy land without a Property Lawyer, too many things can go wrong. You may lose the land entirely, face demolition later, end up in long court battles or pay twice for the same property.
Real estate is too expensive to toy with
At Apex Chambers, we advise that whether you live in Nigeria or abroad, never buy land/building without an experienced Property Lawyer.
