*How to Avoid Land Fraud - While Investing in Plots❗*
Make no mistake about it, no matter how we pray about it or wish it wasn't true, 419 is rampant in Nigeria and its extremely prevalent when it comes to buying *landed property*. These 419 people are tough and cold hearted and they take no prisoners when it comes to making you part with your money. So below are some *rules and tips* when buying property this 2020 and please learn from them:
*RULE NUMBER ONE:*
Don’t believe all the Marketing Bu****it adverts from Sellers or Agents till you have done *proper search and verifications* to confirm. The more they tell you they have a good track record for sales done properly, the more you should be prepared that you might be the first person where things will go wrong and your money will disappear.
For every land you are interested in, always and I mean always ask for these documents:
- The Survey Plan
- The deed of Assignment and how the property was transferred from time immemorial to the present day Seller:
- Copy of the Original receipt the Seller used to purchase the land and from whom he bought it from.
- Copy of either the gazette, C/O or governors consent of the land.
If possible visit the property personally or send a representative you trust. Never buy a property directly from a property magazine or website without you seeing it personally or sending your representative to see it and comment on it.
If a seller tells you he is not ready to release a document because it’s a private document, please walk away. Every landed document is a Public document of record that can be investigated and searched. The more they tell you they can't release it, the more suspicious you should be and after demanding it strenuously and its still rejected please walk away fast.
Sweet Talking by a Seller or Agent will only put you in more trouble (even if the Seller or Agent is your brother or sister). If the Seller or Agent says it will take him time before he gets the document but you should fast track the transaction till he gets the document because other people are interested in the land, let him go and eat the land.
Without these documents for search, you might fall a victim to these fraudsters.
Do proper search and verifications before you buy that land to avoid fraudsters. You can employ the services of land verification experts like us.
