WHEN BUYING LAND OR HOUSE IN NIGERIA, YOU NEED A LAWYER
Nobody plans to buy the wrong land or building. They trust the wrong people.
The seller may sound honest, the documents may look genuine, the price attractive and everything else may feel right, until someone else appears claiming ownership of the same land/house.
That is how many property issues begin.
Buying land or building in Nigeria should not depend on luck, trust or appearances.
Every land/house has a legal history and unless someone knows where to look, that history can remain hidden until your money is gone.
A good Property and Real Estate Lawyer, other than preparing land/building documents, investigates the property.
Who truly owns it? Is the seller legally entitled to sell it? Is it under Government acquisition? Is it the subject of a Court case, a dispute or another transaction?
Those answers must not be guessed; they must be known before payment.
Even after the investigations, the transaction is not complete until the correct legal documents are prepared by the Lawyer.
A document that is poorly drafted or wrong for the transaction can expose a buyer to avoidable problems.
Getting a good Lawyer will save you from making mistakes when buying land/building in Nigeria.
If you are buying land/building in Nigeria (whether you live in Nigeria or abroad), the right Property and Real Estate Lawyer will help you buy a land/house safely.
