WHY YOU NEED A PROPERTY LAWYER WHEN BUYING LAND OR HOUSE IN NIGERIA

Buying land or property in Nigeria is a good step, but it is also full of risks. Everyday unsuspecting buyers lose millions of naira to fraudulent sellers.

Some end up in court for years, battling over property ownership. Some lose the property. The painful truth? These could have been avoided if they had engaged an experienced Property Lawyer.

A Property Lawyer will conduct due diligence (investigation) to verify ownership, confirm that the land is free from government acquisition, and check if there are any other issues. Without proper legal checks, you may unknowingly buy land/building/house that has already been sold to other buyers or is under litigation.

A Property Attorney helps draft and review agreements to protect your interests. Many persons blindly sign agreements without knowing the legal implications.

In cases where the land is family land, a family member may sell land without the consent of principal family members, leading to issues. A Property Lawyer will investigate and confirm consent.

What applies in Lagos may not apply in Rivers or Abuja. A Property Lawyer understands these and ensures that your purchase aligns with relevant laws.

The cost of a Property Lawyer lawyer is a small price to pay compared to the financial and emotional losses that come with being duped, disputes or government takeovers.

Skipping the legal guidance of a Property Lawyer/Attorney when buying land/house is a gamble.

Don’t gamble with your property or business investment.
