Lagos real estate is booming—but so is the risk of land scams. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, verifying ownership is critical before you commit your money.
✅ Step 1: Check the Survey Plan
Ask for the land’s survey plan. It should include boundaries, size, and coordinates. Ensure it’s drawn by a licensed surveyor registered with SURCON.
✅ Step 2: Verify the Title Documents
Lagos lands come with different titles:
-
Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
-
Governor’s Consent
-
Excision or Gazette
-
Deed of Assignment
-
Letter of Administration (common in inherited land)
Each has its own implications—confirm it matches the seller’s claim.
✅ Step 3: Conduct a Land Registry Search
Visit the Lagos State Land Registry to run a title search. This reveals if the land is:
-
Already committed
-
Under government acquisition
-
In legal dispute
✅ Step 4: Confirm LASRERA Certification
Only deal with developers or facilitators registered under LASRERA. This ensures accountability and protection.
✅ Step 5: Hire a Trusted Facilitator
Don’t go it alone. Use a reputable real estate firm like Jogy Properties to guide you.
