THE NEED FOR A WELL DRAFTED RECITAL IN A LAND/BUILDING PURCHASE DOCUMENT

THE NEED FOR A WELL DRAFTED RECITAL IN A LAND/BUILDING PURCHASE DOCUMENT

Sandra, a young Nigerian woman had always dreamed of building a home for her family. After years of saving, she finally found the perfect plot of land in Port Harcourt. As she embarked on the journey to purchase the land, her Property Lawyer emphasized the importance of a recital in the land purchase document (Deed of Conveyance).

A recital, also known as a recital clause, is a section in a land/building purchase document that tells the background story of the transaction. It is a narrative that provides context, clarity and a vivid history of the ownership of the land or building.

A well-drafted recital should include:

1) Names and descriptions of the land, buyer, seller and other parties.
2) Accurate history and chain/change of ownership of the land or property being sold, from time immemorial till the date of the present transaction.

A recital is important as it ensures a smooth transaction. By providing clear context, a recital helps you as buyer prevent misunderstandings, explains the intentions of the parties involved and in case of a claim, the recital serves as valuable evidence.

So have a land/building purchase document that solidifies your property ownership.
