It is not every day that you meet a land buyer who says, “I need a Property Lawyer before I spend one naira.”
A few days ago, Apex Chambers received a call that perfectly highlights the growing awareness among smart property buyers in Nigeria. He stated his intention to buy land/house in Port Harcourt.
What made this conversation refreshingly beautiful was not just his interest in acquiring property, it was his clear understanding of the importance of engaging a Property Lawyer right from the beginning.
He didn’t just want to buy land, he wanted proper legal guidance on the best steps to take, ensuring he avoided the many mistakes that unsuspecting buyers often make.
From conducting due diligence (investigations) on the land, verifying the ownership, checking for government acquisition or other claims, to ensuring the right documentation and legal processes are duly followed. He wanted professional legal backing at every stage.
At Apex Chambers, we always say “the best time to involve a Lawyer is before money changes hands.”
This man understood that perfectly. His approach is one we encourage every land buyer in Port Harcourt and beyond to adopt. It pays to do it right from day one.
When buying land, don’t wait until a problem arises. Follow this client’s wise example: consult a Property Lawyer from the start.
