Land Verification in Nigeria — What to Check First
Land disputes destroy budgets. Start with documentation, not vibes: confirm ownership chain, survey consistency, and government records where applicable before you fund construction.
Core verification steps
•
Confirm seller identity and relationship to title
•
Request and review survey plan vs. on-ground boundaries
•
Check for encumbrances, litigation, or duplicate sales
•
Use qualified surveyors and legal review for high-value plots
