Land transactions carry real risk where title is not properly verified. Before buying, confirm the seller has good title and the right to sell, and that the land is free of disputes, government acquisition, or encumbrance.
Common title documents include the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), a registered deed of assignment, a survey plan, and, where relevant, a governor’s consent. A search at the relevant lands registry, alongside a physical inspection and confirmation of the survey beacons, helps establish that what is on paper matches what is on the ground.
A registered Estate Surveyor and Valuer can guide the due diligence and advise on value. To discuss a purchase or a land valuation, contact our team.
