THE USE OF LAND CO-ORDINATES

THE USE OF LAND CO-ORDINATES

Imagine buying land/building and later discover that nobody can point to where it is actually located on the face of the earth.

Scary, right?

That is exactly what happens when land/house is bought in Nigeria without verified co-ordinates in a registered Survey Plan.

Land is not described by stories or landmarks but by co-ordinates.

Without verified co-ordinates, your land has no fixed location recognised by law. It is floating in uncertainty.

Anyone can shift the boundaries, dispute the size or even claim it is in a different location entirely and you will struggle to defend it.

A registered Survey Plan is what pins your land physically and legally. It confirms the exact location, size, boundaries and status of the land.

It also shows whether the land is free from Government acquisition or interest.

Without this confirmation, you may be paying for land that legally does not belong to the seller or cannot be owned at all.

Many people lose land/house because they paid for one without verified co-ordinates and registered Survey Plan.

This robs them of legal protection. When disputes arise, courts and Government do not rely on oral explanations but on registered survey records.

If land cannot be accurately located and legally confirmed, then ownership is hanging by a thread.

Get verified co-ordinates and a registered Survey Plan.

So get a Property Lawyer. Anything less is like Sportybet; pure gamble.
