WHY YOU MUST DO A REGISTERED SURVEY PLAN WHEN BUYING LAND OR HOUSE IN NIGERIA
Imagine waking up to find your dream home, your pride taken over by someone else. The shock, denial, terrible loss – it is a nightmare many Nigerians face when they buy land without a registered survey plan.
Mrs. Brown, a successful businesswoman, thought she had found her haven in a beautiful Port Harcourt Estate. But her dream turned into a nightmare when she discovered the land was disputed and the real owner was contesting the sale.
A registered Survey Plan is a document that shows the boundaries, dimensions, location and coordinates of a piece of land. It is prepared by a licensed Surveyor and registered with the State Ministry of Lands and Survey where the land is located.
Why You Need a Registered Survey Plan:
1. Proof of Ownership: A registered Survey Plan indicates the owner.
2. Boundary Disputes: It clearly defines boundaries, preventing conflicts with neighbours.
3. Land Verification: Ensures it is free from issues with Government.
4. Future Development: Ideal for future development, ensuring your project is within permitted usage.
5. Resale Value: Increases the resale value, providing investment security.
Don’t make the same mistake Mrs. Brown did. Make a registered Survey Plan when buying land or house in Nigeria.
