A Nairalander wanted to buy a property at Ikorodu, and a friend recommended a seemingly good & affordable site for the purchase. The owner of the site is a surveyor who got the land from a family. We visited the location for inspection and I requested the copies of the title documents be forwarded to me via WhatsApp for proper checks and conclusion; moreover my new client was ready to pay. After going through the layout of the property, it shows the following outcome:

�the layout he sent doesn't has a name of the purported surveyor that prepared it.
�the signature of the surveyor is essential in any document like this, but it's not there, not even a date or number.
�The description of the site and area is not there.
�If the family gave the surveyor (who is now the owner and the seller) the property in exchange for work done, there is no deed of transfer from the family to the surveyor.

Land transactions in Nigeria has outgrown the era of seeing & paying alone. We need thorough investigation and checks. We have recorded quite a number of illegal sales which could have made a few fall victims. Please don't hesitate to call us whenever you want to purchase any property. Our charges are quite affordable.
