U can still buy R of O if it's in Abuja. Just say it's applicable only in Lagos cos most of the land people sell there is R of O. |

Everything in Nigeria comes with problems, even the simplest of things. Suffice to say, a lot of Nigerians, especially the so called educated you as of the south west who handle things like illiterate and act as street urchins e.g Omo Onile. As I write this, my 2 and half plot of land has been resold by the Omo Onile. Nigeria is a cesspit of corruption, morally bankrupt individuals and pathological Liars. 2 Likes |

Bidobado: I'm really sorry about the loss of your property to the land grabbers also known as omoniles! They are very notorious and well known for this type of atrocity! Nigerians have started to wise up! People hardly patronise omoniles these days! People buy from a reputable real estate development firm like the firm I work with or other good real estate firms out there! I'm truly sorry about your loss sir |

kelvine: Dear friend, maybe that's their company policy. That doesn't mean they want to scam you of your hard earned money! Maybe the marketers didn't explain their terms and conditions properly to u. I suggest you visit their office and ask thorough questions. Or better still you can contact me. I work with a big real estate firm that has genuine and secure landed properties with valid documents scattered everywhere in nigeria. Hurry and contact me |

babyvoice1990: Please I will like to ask this question. Can one buy a land from a lawyer who had a documented MOU signed by the family mandating him to do layout and survey plan on their behalf while he takes 1 plot from every acre he works on. The thing is that the lawyer has ask us to pay but layout and survey is still in process. What documents will I request from him. Do I still need to inform the family about it. |
Re: Documents To Ask For When Buying Land Anywhere In Nigeria by fison(m): 5:12pm On Nov 27, 2016 |
There are a number of crucial documents 1. Receipt 2. Approved survey plan 3. Approved layout 4. Power of Attorney 5. Deed of assignment 6. Certificate of Occupancy ( C of O) I would categorize the people from which you can buy any parcel of land into three: An estate developer, an individual & directly from the family who claims to own the land. If you are dealing with an estate developer (buying within an estate), you should ask for the approved survey plan, approved layout, the power of attorney and the global C of O. If you are buying from an individual or company (one who has bought and wishes to resell), you should ask for the receipt, deed of assignment, approved survey plan and C of O. Buying directly from the family who claims to own the land is quite tricky. This is because it is difficult to determine the true owners of the land especially when the documents showing ownership haven’t been processed. Where the documents haven’t been processed, there are no documents to show authenticity and a prospective buyer has to really a great deal on word of mouth from the members of the community to ascertain the true owner(s) of the land in question. When the documents have been processed, they should provide you with the approved survey plan, approved layout (where the land is a large one and is being sold on a per plot basis) and the C of O. From my experience, families usually don’t go to the length of processing their C of O. Reason being that they hope to sell off their land in the near future thus only do the absolute minimum required to show authenticity, in this case the approved survey plan and layout, then passing it on to the buyer who would go on to perfect his/her title on the land. NOTE: It is very important that you have a good property lawyer before embarking on land/property purchase. Reason being that your lawyer is the one who ensures that you don’t run into legal trouble with land/property documents after purchase. It’s your lawyer’s job to verify the authenticity of any title document backing the land/property. PROPERTY SEARCH Under the Lagos State Land Bureau: Conducting a Search: • Application submitted with affidavit of purpose (searches are conducted using the following criteria: – Name of Owner, Registration Particulars, Address of Property and Survey Plan. • Letter of Authority (where applicable) • Endorsement • Bill for payment of Search Fees • Tender Tellers • Conduct Search Work Flow for Registration of Title: • Confirmation of all payment receipt (by Accounts Department) • Collection of Form A13 from the Office of Registrar of Titles by Applicant – 1 day • Duly completed Form A13 with supporting documents are submitted by Applicant to the Office of the Registrar of Titles • A registration number & application number are issued to a certified application – 1 day • Notice are prepared for interested parties signatures • Reply to Notice is received and Draft Entries prepared • An approved Notice is e-mailed /posted by registered post to applicant • Prepared Notice are forwarded to Registrar of Titles for approval of issuance of Notice to Applicant • Approval of Draft Entries • Typing & Binding of Title • Final Indexing of Title • File is sent via the Deputy Registrar of Titles to ROT for signature • Registered Title delivered to applicant Work Flow for Registration of Deeds • Submission of Application with relevant documents for registration of Deed by Applicants • Application with accompanying documents are checked and endorsed • Satisfied application/document are issued with registration number • Application sent for indexing • Applicant file is send to Deputy Registrar of Titles for signature • File is sent to Registrar of Titles for second signature • Registered Deed is delivered Work Flow for Registration of Certificate of Occupancy • Certificate of Occupancy is sent with a covering letter from LUAD to Office of Registrar of Titles • The file is sent to the C of O room to add a file jacket to the C of O Form • C of O is sent to the Deputy Registrar of Titles for signature • C of O is sent to Registrar of Titles for second signature • The details of registered C of O is entered serially in a day book • The registered C of O is entered is a dispatch book and sent to LUAD for collection by applicants http://www.ibejulekkilawyer.com/documents-to-ask-for-when-buying-land-anywhere-in-nigeria/ Great job OP, please what document should I request from State government for leasing a land to me for a period of 45 years? |

shawn5ng: In land investment, there are different types of investment. Some the document are already processed and there are good and perfect title to the land while the other the title are still under processing . This second type is very risk to invest in but if you get it right, highly profitable. There are instances where a lawyer is mandated by a family to finance the perimeter survey and layout in turn to receive one plot in one acre. this perimeter survey layout is not in anyway title to land and can not give you ownership to a land. my advice would be to conduct a 100 percent due diligent via your solicitor.
