Avoiding Land Fraud in Nigeria: Five Essential Checks Before Buying Property
Before purchasing any property, buyers should:
Verify Ownership – Confirm that the seller is the lawful owner and has the right to sell the property.
Conduct a Title Search – Verify the authenticity of title documents and identify any encumbrances or competing claims.
Confirm Government Status – Ensure the property is not subject to government acquisition, planning restrictions, or other regulatory issues.
Review Survey Plans and Boundaries – Confirm that the property's location, size, and boundaries match official records.
Obtain Legal Advice – Engage a qualified legal practitioner to review documents, conduct due diligence, and identify potential risks before completing the transaction.
Proper due diligence can help prevent fraud, ownership disputes, defective titles, and costly legal challenges while protecting your investment.
