Things To Look Out For…

  1. PROPERTY DOCUMENTS:

    Very useful in providing details about the property, and showing who the legal owner is. Always lookout for documents like; survey plan, certificate of occupancy and deed of assignment.
  2. VERIFY THE TRUE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY

    To avoid being a fraud victim it is really important to know who truly owns the property you are trying to buy, by doing proper checks at the lands registry.
  3. Physically Inspect The Property:

    Do this to ensure that the property truly exists & is vacant.
    A surveyor will help you get the actual measurements, f it’s a landed property you intend to buy.
  4. Decide The Purpose Of The Property:
    Ensure that you know the purpose of the property; whether it is for agricultural, industrial, or commercial purposes.

A survey plan will give you a detailed description of the land.

Lastly, involve your lawyer in every process and don’t be hasty when buying a property, no matter how juicy the offer.

We hope you find this resourceful.
