What Is The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Buying A Land In An Estate? by mecussey(m): 4:11am On Feb 24, 2017
Dear Lawyer and all,

What is the advantages and disadvantages of this deal. I understand a company or person manages the estate, so what are your rights to your land. Can the management wake up one day and collect the land back..?

In so far as you have your deed of assignment, a survey and your C of O, management cannot wake up and ask you to vacate your property...only the government can.

Remember, you also have to abide with the rules from the management? Converting a residential property into a commercial or industrial without management approval may attract issues. Also, failure to stick with design/building rules and other agreements stated in the "contract of sales" may equally attract issues.

The above are some likely conditions that may lead to forfeiture legal battles.


Advantages
- You are less prone to illegal activities from land grabbers
- Little bureaucratic processes
- Good organization and cooperation among residents
- Better security
- Payment flexibility (some management allow a 1, 2, even 5 year payment plan).

You have to build according to the plan of the estate despite the fact that you may not like it.

Rules and regulations etc.

No one can collect your land. only the government can.
The disadvantage here is that you live under the rules of the management.

Depends on the estate:

Some estates are serviced or semi-serviced estates.
Sometimes, you'll have to pay for security, water, electricity and general sanitation.

Some estates make you sign some pre-purchase agreements which you have to comply with. Like building type, building use, rental policy, visitors policy, access policy etc

OP na story you dey find but make I sorry for you. The most important advantage is that chances of reselling same plot to another person is very low in an estate. As plot are already clearly mapped out.
You might have to pay more a plot as compared to what you can get outside. This depends on the estate although. In general I think it's a cool idea if you have the YAKUBI to pay for the land in an estate

There are instances when the management just consult supposed land owners for land purchase. After a couple of years, other families begin litigation to take over land claiming they're the authentic owners.
1. There may be no end to payment even years after buying plots within estate.
2. The estate management may use the papers as collateral for loan or even transfer papers to another management who would come with other fees.
3. There is a thin line between tenancy and a landlord in an estate.

5. When the estate appreciates, your land appreciates
6. Enjoy good payment plan

Disadvantages
1. Lands are relatively expensive
2. You might have to pay other service charges

The Disadvantage is more than Advantage, one is you on able to have your Personal C of O . One C of O covers the entire estate. Unable to beautify the external stucture to your own taste, as for me is just like a bundage.
