Things To Look Out For…
- 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. - 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. - 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. - 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.
