*How To Conduct Land Verification In Abuja*

To conduct a land verification in Abuja, an application for verification must be made to the appropriate authority or land registry.

In Abuja, the appropriate authority is the Abuja Geographic Information System (AGIS). A person intending to purchase land within the environs of the Federal Capital Territory must submit the following requirements at AGIS to conduct a search or verify the particulars of the land:

1.An application letter addressed to the Director of Lands Administration providing full details of the property which is stated on the Certificate of Occupancy to wit: Name of Owner, File Number, Plot No(s), Certificate of Occupancy Number and date.

2.Evidence of payment of legal search fee either N10, 000 (residential purposes) or N20, 000 (commercial purposes). The customized teller for such is available in the Bank.

3.Original Certificate or Right of Occupancy for sighting.

4.Photocopy of valid means of identification.

The search is carried out by the staff at the Land Registry who prepare a search report stating whether the details provided in the letter match that of the document with them or of any land registered there.

In conclusion, it is pertinent to conduct a search on land to verify that the title intended to be purchased belongs to the person or entity posing as the owner. The search also helps to unravel whether there are any encumbrances on the said land. Engaging the services of a professional makes this process hassle-free and ensures an efficient and thorough search to avoid problems that may arise in the future questioning the title.
