YOU NEED A PROPERTY LAWYER WHEN BUYING LAND/HOUSE IN NIGERIA
The phone call to Apex Chambers came in this morning and it instantly caught our attention.
A middle-aged man living in Minnesota, USA had just found a 6-bedroom duplex he wanted to buy in Port Harcourt. He contacted Apex Chambers to conduct full due diligence and also prepare the purchase documents if the property is safe to buy.
That decision placed him far ahead of countless people who fall into property purchase errors.
He understood what many persons ignore: buying land or building in Nigeria without proper legal verification is a direct invitation to trouble.
His wisdom was in engaging an experienced Property Lawyer early enough, allowing us to investigate the true ownership, check for Government acquisition, confirm if the land is under dispute, review the land documents and be sure that the transaction is clean, valid and safe.
This is what protects Nigerians in Nigeria and those living abroad.
The dangers of not doing due diligence are terrible. You can lose your money to fraudsters, pay for property that belongs to another person or buy land marked by Government for public use.
Without proper drafting of the purchase documents, you expose yourself to weak clauses/terms and zero legal protection.
By involving a Property Lawyer from the start, he has chosen safety, truth, rest of mind and complete legal protection.
