Before You Buy Land, Check These 5 Things!
Buying land is one of the biggest investments you'll ever make. Unfortunately, many Nigerians lose millions of naira every year because they skip one important step, due diligence.
Before you make any payment, ask these five questions:
✅ 1. Is the seller the real owner?
Don't rely on verbal claims. Request proof of ownership and verify the seller's identity.
✅ 2. What title document does the land have?
Does it have a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), Governor's Consent, Deed of Assignment, Registered Survey, or another valid title? Understanding the document is the first step toward making an informed decision.
✅ 3. Is the land under government acquisition?
A cheap piece of land could end up costing you everything if it's located on government acquired land.
✅ 4. Are there any court cases or family disputes?
Land tied up in legal disputes can become a long-term headache. Always investigate before buying.
✅ 5. Can the survey plan be verified?
A survey plan can reveal important details about a property's location and whether it overlaps with governmentnacquired land or other restrictions.
