Practically, more than ninety percent of land and property owners are unaware of certain details concerning their lands. These details include the class of land, the slope and other little details that largely determine the potentials of the land in question. An understanding of these details is what helps the owner determine the best use to put the land.
Before purchasing a landed property, it is important to know that the services of a surveyor is important. The surveyor’s job is to help you understand the exact measurement of the land and locate the places where the boundaries actually lie.

The surveyors also help with advice on the best parts of the land to build to reduce the possibility of breaking building regulations as well as make projections on certain problems that might be encountered in the future while using the land.

Furthermore, surveying before purchase of land would help one understand the physical changes that have been going on in the land and the best possible way to adapt it to ones purpose.

The use of land survey is still very much relevant in the business of properties and real estate because, to a large extent, they determine the utility we derive from land resources as well as help us maximize their various potentials.

Hi Surveyors,

What's the procedure for registering a survey to a new buyer where the former has a consent? Do u need an instruction from the seller to the office of surveyor General for a change?, does the surveyor of the buyer need to liaise with the surveyor of the seller before a change can be made? Is it possible to have a land with two different titled surveys at the Surveyor General's Office? Where does Change of Name apply as against Governor's Consent (On Lagos State Government's Ministry of Lands website, there's reference to Change of Name but not much on when it's applicable.

@ny11
In a situation when a property has a governor's consent with an existing survey,the new owner should do a change of title on the existing survey.That could be done by the original surveyor that signed the old survey.In case , the surveyor that signed the original survey is late or no longer into practice, your surveyor can proceed. Though there is a common practice where the buyer's surveyor can prepare a new survey for the buyer(the new owner).but this must be consistent with the previous survey in dimensions and other details.

In practise, it is possible to have a land with different titled surveys on it.

For clarification, call me on 08028541100
