🚨 BEFORE YOU BUY LAND IN LAGOS, CHECK THIS FIRST! 🏡⚠️
Imagine buying land in Ibeju-Lekki, Elerangbe or Epe, only to discover that the government has acquired it. 😳
Your survey plan looks genuine. The seller seems trustworthy. You even have a receipt!
But here's the truth: A survey plan, receipt or seller's promise alone cannot prove that land is free from government acquisition.
Here are 5 steps to protect your investment: 👇
✅ 1. Get the Survey Plan
Engage a registered surveyor to confirm the plot's coordinates and boundaries.
✅ 2. Conduct Official Land Charting
Have a registered surveyor check the survey details against relevant official records.
✅ 3. Verify Acquisition Status
Make enquiries through the appropriate Lagos State government offices to determine whether the land is affected by acquisition.
✅ 4. Conduct a Title Search
Engage a property lawyer to investigate ownership, title history and possible legal issues.
✅ 5. Verify All Land Documents
If the seller claims the land has an Excision, Gazette or Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), independently verify the documents and confirm that they cover the exact plot.
⚠️ WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Buying land without proper verification can lead to:
❌ Loss of your hard-earned money
❌ Demolition or restrictions on development
❌ Costly legal disputes
❌ Difficulty reselling your property
📌 Remember: Checking government acquisition status and verifying ownership are two different things. You need both!
Whether you're buying land in Ibeju-Lekki, Elerangbe, Epe or anywhere in Lagos, VERIFY BEFORE YOU INVEST!
