Documents To Ask For When Buying Land Anywhere In Nigeria by babyvoice1990(m): 4:37pm On Nov 26, 2016 |
There are a number of crucial documents 1. Receipt 2. Approved survey plan 3. Approved layout 4. Power of Attorney 5. Deed of assignment 6. Certificate of Occupancy ( C of O) I would categorize the people from which you can buy any parcel of land into three: An estate developer, an individual & directly from the family who claims to own the land. If you are dealing with an estate developer (buying within an estate), you should ask for the approved survey plan, approved layout, the power of attorney and the global C of O. If you are buying from an individual or company (one who has bought and wishes to resell), you should ask for the receipt, deed of assignment, approved survey plan and C of O. Buying directly from the family who claims to own the land is quite tricky. This is because it is difficult to determine the true owners of the land especially when the documents showing ownership haven’t been processed. Where the documents haven’t been processed, there are no documents to show authenticity and a prospective buyer has to really a great deal on word of mouth from the members of the community to ascertain the true owner(s) of the land in question. When the documents have been processed, they should provide you with the approved survey plan, approved layout (where the land is a large one and is being sold on a per plot basis) and the C of O. From my experience, families usually don’t go to the length of processing their C of O. Reason being that they hope to sell off their land in the near future thus only do the absolute minimum required to show authenticity, in this case the approved survey plan and layout, then passing it on to the buyer who would go on to perfect his/her title on the land. NOTE: It is very important that you have a good property lawyer before embarking on land/property purchase. Reason being that your lawyer is the one who ensures that you don’t run into legal trouble with land/property documents after purchase. It’s your lawyer’s job to verify the authenticity of any title document backing the land/property. PROPERTY SEARCH Under the Lagos State Land Bureau: Conducting a Search: • Application submitted with affidavit of purpose (searches are conducted using the following criteria: – Name of Owner, Registration Particulars, Address of Property and Survey Plan. • Letter of Authority (where applicable) • Endorsement • Bill for payment of Search Fees • Tender Tellers • Conduct Search Work Flow for Registration of Title: • Confirmation of all payment receipt (by Accounts Department) • Collection of Form A13 from the Office of Registrar of Titles by Applicant – 1 day • Duly completed Form A13 with supporting documents are submitted by Applicant to the Office of the Registrar of Titles • A registration number & application number are issued to a certified application – 1 day • Notice are prepared for interested parties signatures • Reply to Notice is received and Draft Entries prepared • An approved Notice is e-mailed /posted by registered post to applicant • Prepared Notice are forwarded to Registrar of Titles for approval of issuance of Notice to Applicant • Approval of Draft Entries • Typing & Binding of Title • Final Indexing of Title • File is sent via the Deputy Registrar of Titles to ROT for signature • Registered Title delivered to applicant Work Flow for Registration of Deeds • Submission of Application with relevant documents for registration of Deed by Applicants • Application with accompanying documents are checked and endorsed • Satisfied application/document are issued with registration number • Application sent for indexing • Applicant file is send to Deputy Registrar of Titles for signature • File is sent to Registrar of Titles for second signature • Registered Deed is delivered Work Flow for Registration of Certificate of Occupancy • Certificate of Occupancy is sent with a covering letter from LUAD to Office of Registrar of Titles • The file is sent to the C of O room to add a file jacket to the C of O Form • C of O is sent to the Deputy Registrar of Titles for signature • C of O is sent to Registrar of Titles for second signature • The details of registered C of O is entered serially in a day book • The registered C of O is entered is a dispatch book and sent to LUAD for collection by applicants http://www.ibejulekkilawyer.com/documents-to-ask-for-when-buying-land-anywhere-in-nigeria/ 69 Likes 27 Shares |

Thanks OP, but a thread was created some time ago on the difference between power of attorney and deed of assignment, so in my personal opinion, I think the power of attorney is not necessary as the most important one is deed of assignment, #justsaying before una attack me o 1 Like |

States should have an online database of land ownership. So the first thing an intending buyer will do is access the online portal (after paying a fee) use the info given by the intending seller to check out the history of the land to see if it matches with the details the seller provided. Just like it is done in Kenya for cars, you only need to pay $5, input the plate number of the car you want to buy and the history of the car right from the time it was cleared from the sea port and if it has had subsequent owners, everything will show. So it reduces the incidence of selling stolen cars. 13 Likes |

Please I really need help here, I plan to buy a land from a particular real Estate company that builds for people. They told me I will only see the land after I finish paying the whole fee. They also said I will be getting the survay plan when I am ready to build using their company construction workers. The Estate company appears to be a reputable one going by the number of offices they have home and abroad, please do you think it is alright to invest in them ? |
