THE SECRETS THE SELLER AND AGENT WILL NOT TELL YOU WHEN BUYING LAND
When it comes to buying land/building/property in Port Harcourt and indeed anywhere in Nigeria, there is always information that the seller and agent will never reveal.
That is because the less you know, the more you stand to lose and the more they stand to gain.
Sellers will never tell you that the land you are buying is already tied up in claims, disputes or under government acquisition.
Agents will not admit that they are pushing you to buy a particular land/building because their commission is bigger, not because the property is safe or profitable for you as buyer.
Even friends and relatives you trust might keep quiet about risks because they do not want to upset you or lose face.
In every property transaction, there are carefully hidden issues that only surface after you have paid.
These include ownership and other legal issues that make your ownership shaky from day one; unpaid development levies and unsettled community demands. By the time you discover them, your money is gone.
This is why you need an experienced Property Lawyer who will uncover what the other side is hiding, dig up the buried facts and ensure that your property investment is built on solid ground.
In real estate, what you do not know can destroy what you have. Smart investors do not rush into property transactions; they make sure no secret stays hidden.
