10 Ways to Avoid Encroachment on Government Land

-

 Lately, we seen a lot of demolition going on in Lagos state. Carting away millions of Naira to purchase land and houses is not any easy fit, we don’t want to wake up one day to see our land/house investment brought down the drain because of not doing authentic due diligence.


To avoid buying or encroaching on government-owned land in Lagos State and prevent future demolition, a real estate investor can take the following steps:


1. Conduct thorough research: Verify the ownership and status of the land through the Lagos State Land Registry and the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.


2. Check for government acquisitions: Ensure the land hasn’t been acquired by the government for public purposes like road projects, housing schemes, or infrastructure development.


3. Verify the seller’s authenticity: Ensure the seller has the legal right to sell the land and isn’t a fraudulent agent.


4. Insist on a genuine Certificate of Occupancy (C of O): Demand a valid C of O from the seller, which serves as proof of ownership.


5. Engage a reputable lawyer: Have a trusted lawyer specializing in property law review the land documents and sales agreement.


6. Physically inspect the property: Visit the site to ensure no signs of government acquisition or pending projects.


7. Contact the Lagos State Government: Reach out to the appropriate authorities to confirm the land’s status and any potential plans for the area.


8. Consider purchasing from reputable developers or government-approved schemes: Buying from established developers or government-backed projects can offer added security.


9. Regularly monitor government announcements and updates: Stay informed about new projects, acquisitions, or policy changes that might affect your property.


10. Consult with local experts and authorities: Seek guidance from experienced professionals, like surveyors or real estate consultant/realtors, familiar with the local market and regulations.


Remember, due diligence is crucial when investing in real estate to avoid future complications and potential demolition.
