THE BEST TIME TO BUY LAND/HOUSE IN NIGERIA IS DURING RAINY SEASON
The best time to discover a bad land/building is before you buy it, not after you have paid.
Surprisingly, the rainy season can help you when buying land or house in Nigeria.
Many buyers avoid property inspections when it rains, not knowing that rain exposes problems you will not notice during dry season.
Flooding, poor drainage, erosion, waterlogged soil and bad access roads become obvious, helping you identify risks before paying money.
A nice looking land/building in sunshine may become a mess once the rains begin. You could end up spending too much on flood control, sand-filling, road repairs and structural protection.
In some cases, the property’s value may drop because of environmental challenges not disclosed.
Physical inspection is not enough. Get a very good Property and Real Estate Lawyer to conduct thorough legal due diligence.
The Lawyer will investigate ownership, verify documents, check for Government acquisition, disputes and other legal issues.
This is also important for Nigerians in the diaspora who rely on pictures, videos or relatives to buy land/house.
A property investment requires both physical inspection and legal investigation.
Apex Chambers advises that buying land/house needs careful legal scrutiny before payment is made.
Buying land/building during the rainy season, combined with proper legal investigation, can save you from expensive surprises and protect your investment.
