Before You Buy That Plot

Buying land or a house in Nigeria is often the biggest purchase of a life, and the cost of a bad deal can be enormous. You need more than a story of what went wrong for someone else. You need a list of what to check, in what order, before you pay.

Before You Buy That Plot is that checklist. Each chapter covers one area of a Nigerian property transaction: the seller, the documents, the land itself, the government status, the omo-onile situation, the agreement, and the payment channel. Every step comes with a clear pass or fail outcome so you are never guessing.

Chapter nine gathers everything into one master checklist you can print and bring to viewings, meetings with sellers, and your lawyer's office. The last chapter covers the walk-away triggers. It also works for lawyers and agents who advise buyers, and for diaspora buyers who need to tell a representative exactly what to verify.
