Due Diligence Checklist for Buying Property in Nigeria 🇳🇬Buying property in Nigeria without proper legal checks is one of the quickest ways to lose your money. Every serious buyer must conduct thorough due diligence before paying a kobo!Here’s a quick checklist I’ve put together as a property &amp; real estate lawyer:✅ Verify the title (C of O, Deed of Assignment, Survey Plan, etc.) ✅ Conduct a land search at the Lands Registry ✅ Confirm the exact physical location and match with survey coordinates ✅ Investigate the seller—are they the rightful owner? ✅ Ensure there’s no ongoing court case or ownership dispute ✅ Confirm land use (residential, commercial, excised, or government acquisition) ✅ Draft a proper Deed of Assignment or Contract of Sale ✅ Process Governor’s Consent or register the deed ✅ Document all payments and get receipts ✅ Engage a real estate lawyer (not just an agent)💡 Remember: Once money exchanges hands, your legal battle becomes much harder if you didn’t do the work upfront.📩 Samuel Ibukunoluwa Oladele 📱 08135619268 📧 oladelesamuel80@mail.com ⚖️ Real Estate &amp; Property Lawyer | Land Verification | Title Perfection#NaijaLawyer #RealEstateNigeria #DueDiligence #PropertyLawyer #LandVerification #LegalTips #CAC #LagosLawyer #BuyLandWisely
