Buying land is more than finding a good location and agreeing on a price. The documents behind the property matter just as much.
Here are 5 important title documents you should understand:
1οΈβ£ Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) β evidence of a recognized right of occupancy over land.
2οΈβ£ Deed of Assignment β documents the transfer of an interest in property from one party to another.
3οΈβ£ Registered Survey Plan β helps establish the location, boundaries and extent of the land and can assist in checking its status.
4οΈβ£ Governorβs Consent β consent required for certain transfers of a statutory right of occupancy.
5οΈβ£ Gazette β an official government publication that can be relevant when establishing the status or history of land in certain areas.
β οΈ Important: Having a document with the right name does not automatically mean the property is safe to buy. Verification and proper due diligence are essential before payment.
