⚖️ LAW MEETS REAL ESTATE — EP. 003 | ANSWER REVEALED

On Monday, we asked:

If a house is given as a gift but the recipient is handed a Power of Attorney, does that automatically make them the legal owner?

The answer:

NO — not by the Power of Attorney alone.

A Power of Attorney generally gives someone authority to act on behalf of another person. It is not, standing alone, the ordinary instrument for transferring ownership of property.

This is why property documentation must be understood, not simply received.

Before committing your money or relying on a document, verify the underlying title, the appropriate transfer instrument and any applicable consent, registration and perfection requirements.

The real lesson:

A document can give you authority without giving you ownership.

Don’t just look at the document.

Understand what right it actually gives you.

LESSONS FROM LAGOS | EPISODE 7

A property can be in a “good area” and still be a poor investment.

Why?

Because location is more than the name of the neighborhood.

The specific surroundings matter: accessibility, businesses, transport, infrastructure, amenities, new developments, zoning and the direction of local demand.

Two properties only a few minutes apart can have very different investment potential.

In Episode 7, we look at the micro-market and why investors should examine what surrounds, connects to, and is developing around a property.

Location isn’t just an address. It’s an ecosystem.

What is the first thing you look at when evaluating a property’s location?

Over the weekend, I came across a widely shared property story involving a popular online personality.

What caught my attention wasn’t the person or the reported value of the property.

It was the document being displayed: a Power of Attorney.

So here’s the real estate question:

If someone says, “I am giving you this house,” but the document handed to you is a Power of Attorney, does that document make you the legal owner?

A. Yes
B. No
C. It depends

This week’s Law Meets Real Estate — Episode 3 explores the difference between being given authority over a property and actually acquiring ownership.

🏙️ DID YOU KNOW?

When it comes to real estate, location often matters more than size.

A smaller property in a strategic location can outperform a much larger one over time.

Why? Because long-term property value is influenced by factors such as:
✅ Infrastructure development
✅ Accessibility
✅ Commercial activity
✅ Population growth
✅ Economic opportunities

Successful investors don’t just look at what a location is today—they evaluate what it is likely to become.

At Round Peg Homes, we help investors identify opportunities based on sound market fundamentals, not market hype.

📍Invest strategically. Build wealth intentionally.

What do you think has the biggest impact on a property’s long-term value?

⚖️ LAW MEETS REAL ESTATE | EP. 002

ANSWER REVEALED

Earlier this week, we asked a question that generated different opinions:

A father dies, leaving family land to his four children.

Three siblings agree to sell.

One refuses.

Can the other three legally sell the land without the fourth sibling’s consent?

The answer is: It depends.

Many people assume that once the majority agrees, the sale can proceed. In reality, property law is more nuanced.

The legal position depends on issues such as:
• Who owns the legal interest in the property.
• Whether the estate has been properly administered.
• Whether those selling have the legal authority to do so.
• The specific facts of the transaction.

The key takeaway is simple:

Never rely on assumptions when buying family land.

Always verify ownership, confirm who has authority to sell, and carry out proper due diligence before making payment.

At Round Peg Homes, our goal is to help property buyers and investors make informed decisions through practical real estate education.

LESSONS FROM LAGOS | EPISODE 6

In Episode 6, we explore why preparation often matters more than perfect timing—and how informed decisions can make all the difference.

Four siblings inherit it.

Three want to sell.

One refuses.

Many people answer this question too quickly, but the law is more nuanced than it first appears.

🏡 DID YOU KNOW?

One of the biggest opportunities in real estate often comes before an area is fully developed.

Many people wait until new roads are completed, businesses have moved in, and property prices have already increased. By then, much of the appreciation may already have occurred.

Smart investors don’t just look at what an area is today—they look at what it’s becoming.

Before buying land, consider:
✅ Planned infrastructure
✅ Population growth
✅ Accessibility
✅ Commercial development
✅ Secure legal title

At Round Peg Homes, we believe informed decisions are the foundation of successful real estate investing.

ANSWER REVEALED. 👇

Can Tunde legally sell the house?

General Rule: No.

The legal principle of Nemo Dat Quod Non Habet means you generally cannot transfer ownership you don’t have.

But property law isn’t always straightforward. Some transactions may fall within recognised legal exceptions, which is why due diligence should never be skipped.

✅ Verify ownership.
✅ Confirm the seller’s authority.
✅ Conduct title searches.
✅ Work with qualified professionals.

Lessons From Lagos | Episode 5

Why do land prices often rise faster than inflation?

It’s not just because land is limited—it’s because demand keeps growing while supply remains finite.
