🚨 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE BUYING LAND IN NIGERIA 🇳🇬
That land being sold for a “very cheap price” might not actually be cheap. 😳
Before you pay, "STOP and check these 5 things:
1️⃣ Verify the owner.
Don't rely only on what the agent or seller tells you.
2️⃣ Conduct a proper land/title search.
Confirm the property's ownership and whether there are existing claims, restrictions, or other issues. Official land agencies provide title-search services for this purpose.
3️⃣ Check the survey and exact location.
Make sure the land you're shown is actually the land described in the documents.
4️⃣ Get proper legal documentation.
Depending on the property and state, documents can include a survey plan, land agreement/deed, and relevant title or consent documents. Don't assume that a receipt alone proves everything you need.
5️⃣ Use a property lawyer before paying the balance. ⚖️
A lawyer can help investigate the title and transaction documents and identify issues you may miss.
The biggest mistake? Falling in love with the land before checking the documents.
Would you rather buy cheap land with questionable documents or pay more for properly verified land?
