vanndubi:
@ OP, are architects knowledgeable in soil mechanism and behaviour?

not really

Another very common mistake most land purchasers make is that they pay for lands without proof of the deed of assignment or
contract of sale between the buyer and the
seller. Absolute madness!!!!

Some will say
they haven’t received the receipt but they
are waiting for the owner to come back so
he would take them to meet the family he
bought it from.


Many I know don’t even
have a survey plan. How do you prove
ownership? How can you trace the owner?
Some people tell me that it’s not a problem
because they know where the person lives
so he cannot run. Ok, what if he dies? How
do you prove to his family or community
that you bought the land validly from him?
What if another person lays claim to that
same land, how do you prove ownership?



The 3 basic things a Buyer must have when
they pay for a land are

. Receipt,

. Deed of Assignment

. and a Survey Plan.

Without these 3 things you have a very slim chance of proving ownership if anything goes wrong in future.

Land for sale

There is a two plots of land in a good
location along mgbuoba road opposite.
AIT for sale in port harcourt. for more
detail call 09067347994.

Don’t rely on just
pictures and sweet words because there are
so many other important things the picture
or advert won’t tell you such as the
neighborhood, light and water issues, the
road leading to that place, amenities such
schools or hospitals, transportation ease to
and fro, market, etc.


Make sure you check
all these things before you finally commit
yourself to buy a land.

Always Involve Professionals in Land Matters before you buy a land:

A lawyer, Surveyor and
Architect are the 3 most important people
you must get in touch with before you buy
a land.



1 The lawyer is the only one that can
draw up your contract papers legally. Any
other landed document drawn up by any
other person is null and void and you
would not be allowed to process your
papers at the Land registry.


2 Registered Surveyor is the only one that
can draw up your survey plans. Without the
survey plan you have no description of the
land you intend to buy. Use only a
registered surveyor please and finally,



3 Architect is the one who would advise you
on the type of house you are to build and
the cost of putting up that structure
starting from the location of the land down
to the type of soil. Don’t do self service.
Engage professionals to guide you properly



Don't buy a Land without Viewing the land physically: No matter
how beautiful or attractive the land being
advertised appears please go there and
look at it.



Too many Real estate developers
and Agents have scammed thousands of
Nigerians using beautifully drawn flyers
promoting lands that are equivalent to Aso
rock estate in choice locations, only to
realize that they are dump yards not fit for
human habitation.



Always find time to visit
the place physically or send a trusted
representative to view it.

Lot of people are in a hurry to own a landed property. but before you proceeds, here is a brief guide I used before purchasing any land in port harcourt that has helped me.

Carry Out a Proper Land
Verification Search:

Do not buy any land without
performing a Land Check on the Owner, the
Land and the Documents the Seller
possesses.

There are so many things to
cross reference at this stage that is why you
must take your time and be patient
because it is your money that is at stake
not the seller or Agent’s money. If you fail
to take this step, then you would be left
alone to wallow in your own self pity and
misery because the seller would be long
gone with your money.

Do not let the occasional grumblings from sellers or agents weigh you down or push you to do something rash such as “A lot of people are rushing this land and if you don’t pay now, the land may be gone” etc. Don’t listen to them. The land was there before you
decided to pay interest in acquiring it and
it would still be there after you do your
search.

Some sellers and agents are just
eager to line up their pockets with your
money so they throw you that line to you to
scare you. The reasons you must do the
search is because you must verify the
owner, how he got the land previously, why
he wants to sell, what is prompting him to
sell whether there is any dispute or
litigation and he wants to shift the burden
to you or he has bought a very bad land
and wants to dispose it quickly before the
problem manifests into something bigger
or he has wayward and unreliable
documents that do not confer title or
ownership to him, so he is looking for the
nearest fool or unsuspecting buyer to pass
that problem to.

Also you will have to
investigate the land to know whether it’s
genuinely a good land, a land that isn’t
under government acquisition or not, a
land that is not subject to any communal or
legal dispute, a land that doesn’t run afoul
of government regulations, etc.

And finally
investigating all the documents the owner
has and ought to have such as a Survey
plan, deed of assignment, contract of sale,
C of O, Governors Consent, Gazette, Letter
of Allocation, Receipts, Deed of Transfer,
Power of Attorney, etc. The check list is too
much but it must be done so that you are
satisfied 100% of the title.

This is the only
thing that will give you peace of mind and
you must contract a land verification expert
to do it to give you that extra comfort.
