Good day all,

Kindly advice, I’m about to purchase a landed property( 2 plots of land) from a seller who has the deed and the land surveyed already.

My question is , would I need to do another deed and survey again upon completion of payment?

Your advice would go a long way, thanks in anticipation for your candid advise and response .

You need a Surveyor and a lawyer. Don't pay for the land without these 4 steps.

1. Get a Surveyor to pick up the physical coordinates to be sure that the land doesn't fall under government acquisition.

2. Get a lawyer to verify that the land does not have issues of any kind as regards title and documentation.

Once you get a positive response from the 2 steps above, you move on to the next 2 steps.

3. Your Surveyor draws the Survey Plan in your name and the details of the Survey Plan are used to prepare your Deed of Assignment.

4. Your lawyer prepares your Deed of Assignment. The information obtained in the course of pre-purchase verification comes in useful at this point for preparing your own Deed of Assignment.

Thanks a lot.

This was really helpful. Initially I thought since there was already a deed and survey plan I wouldn’t need to do survey plan only the deed.

Now I know I’d have to do all again just so it can bear my name

Thanks a lot.
Really do appreciate ��
