If you're considering buying land in Nigeria, there are several important steps you need to take to ensure you secure ownership of the property. In this blog post, we'll go through the process of purchasing land and perfecting your title to it.

Verify the current owner of the land

Before making any purchase, it's important to verify the true and current owner of the land. You can do this by looking at the chain of previous ownership from A to B to C. This is important because you need to make sure that the seller has the right to transfer ownership to you.

Consult a real estate professional

Before making any purchase, it's wise to consult with a real estate professional who can conduct a valuation for you. This will ensure that you get the best deal possible and avoid any potential scams or problems.

Negotiate and make payment

Once the legal checks have been conducted and have come back ok, you can proceed to negotiate and make payment for the purchase price.

Sign relevant documents

Upon payment, relevant documents will need to be signed. The most important document is the Deed of Assignment, which officially transfers ownership of the land to you.

Perfect your title to the land

Once ownership has been transferred to you, it's important to perfect your title with the government. Perfection indicates that the land is officially owned by you and any subsequent buyer would be notified of this when conducting a legal search at the land registry.

To perfect your title, you'll need to engage the services of a lawyer and provide the following documents:

• Deed of Assignment
• Statutory Right of Occupancy
• Survey Plan

In conclusion, buying land in Nigeria requires careful planning and consideration to ensure you secure ownership of the property. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you'll be able to make an informed decision and ensure that your title to the land is perfected with the government.
