BEFORE YOU PURCHASE THAT LAGOS PROPERTY…..

Acquisition of land and its documentation involves a number of procedures that call for due diligence and caution on the part of the purchaser. Retaining the services of a good professional could help get through these procedures in the best interest of the Purchaser.
The Purchaser’s lawyer will usually carry out the investigations of title of the Vendor and all other processes prior to the purchase of the land (payment of the purchase sum).
The primary objective at this stage is to ascertain that the Vendor has a good root of title. A good root of title in this context means the following: that the Vendor is the rightful (beneficial) owner of the land. that the land is free from any encumbrance or pending litigation. that the land is not the subject of any Government acquisition.that the land is not subject to any of the overriding interests in land(e.g. short leases, easements, licenses, road or right of way).that the Vendors are acting in good faith (for instance where the land is family owned land)
Investigation of title is carried out at the Lands Registry or New Towns Development Authority (whichever is applicable) by the Purchaser’s Solicitor shortly after inspection and expression of interest in the land using copies of the key title documents, evidence of payment of levies investigations may include visiting the neighbours to the property andmaking direct enquiries in respect of the land n question.

2.2. The state is responsible for allocation of land in urban areas to individual’s resident in the state and to organizations for Residential, Agricultural, Commercial and other purpose. Similar powers with respect to non- urban areas are conferred on Local Governments.
2.3. By virtue of this Act, ownership vests in the Governor while only a statutory or customary right to occupy land is given to a person for a maximum of 99years. The control and management of land is administered through the Land Use and Allocation Committee acting as
an advisory committee in transactions affecting land.
2.4. It is therefore a requirement of law to obtain the consent of the Governor for any assignment of title to land in accordance with the Act. Section 22 which provides as follows:
“It shall not be lawful for the holder of a Statutory Right of Occupancy granted by the Governor to alienate his right of occupancy or any part thereof by Assignment, Mortgage, Transfer of possession, Sublease or otherwise howsoever without the consent of the Governor first had and
