Key Risk Questions

Simple questions to help evaluate transaction pressure, family claims, physical occupancy, and dispute history.

1. Has the seller asked you to pay urgently or offered an unusual "rush discount"?
Urgent pressure is the #1 psychological tactic used to bypass due diligence searches.
2. Has anyone mentioned or warned you about an omo-onile, family, or community claim?
Unresolved family inheritance disputes can invalidate deeds of assignment years after sale.
3. Does the seller or agent refuse or discourage independent legal/survey verification?
Legitimate property owners welcome independent statutory title and cadastral checks.
4. Have you or your trusted representative physically inspected the property on ground?
Remote transactions without ground checks risk purchasing a fictitious plot or occupied land.
5. Does the physical boundary and landmark match the survey plan coordinate pillars?
Coordinates on paper must correspond to physical survey beacons embedded in the ground.
6. Is the property located inside a gated or managed estate?
Managed estates generally have defined master layout approvals, though title must still be verified.
7. Is there an existing structure or construction already on the parcel?
Existing structures require confirmation of building permits and structural condition.
8. Are there existing tenants, squatters, or occupants on the property?
Possession is nine-tenths of the law in Nigeria. Removing unauthorized occupants can take years.
9. Has any third party ever challenged or claimed ownership of this land?
Competing claims or caveats placed on the property must be investigated at the High Court registry.
10. Has the property previously been sold to someone else?
Double allocation or reselling land to multiple buyers is a common real estate fraud.
11. Are there pending court disputes, police notices, or injunctions?
Any lis pendens (litigation notice) makes title transfers legally risky.
12. Are there planning/zoning concerns, drainage setbacks, or road expansion rights-of-way?
Properties on canal setbacks or future road corridors face statutory government demolition.

Frequently Asked Property Verification Questions

How do I verify property before buying in Nigeria? ↓
Before committing any money: (1) Run an initial risk assessment, (2) Conduct Cadastral Charting at the Surveyor General's Office to confirm the coordinates are not under committed government acquisition, (3) Search the Lands Registry for registered mortgages or litigation caveats, and (4) Verify vendor family genealogy and authority to sell.
How do I check land ownership in Lagos? ↓
In Lagos State, check land ownership by conducting charting at the Office of the State Surveyor General (Alausa), followed by an official title search in the register of deeds at the Lands Bureau to verify the root of title and registered owner.
How do I verify a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)? ↓
Verify a C of O by confirming its volume and page registration number at the State Lands Registry, confirming the Governor's signature, and plotting the survey plan coordinates to ensure the document matches the exact parcel of land on ground.
What is the difference between Governor's Consent and a Gazette? ↓
An Official Gazette is a government record declaring that an acquisition has been excised and released to a local community. Governor's Consent is the formal statutory approval granted by the State Governor whenever title to land with an existing C of O or Gazette is assigned, transferred, or sold.
Why should diaspora buyers use an independent risk check? ↓
Diaspora property buyers are frequently targets for family misrepresentation, inflated pricing, duplicate sales, and unexcised acquisitions. Independent preliminary checks ensure you do not rely solely on photos or vendor assertions before committing capital.
