Buying land in Nigeria can be one of the smartest financial moves you’ll ever make — if you do it right. From Benin City to Lagos, Abuja to Port Harcourt, land is appreciating rapidly, and many investors are building wealth silently through land banking. But here’s the truth: not all lands are worth buying, and without proper knowledge, you might pay the price — literally. At Everything Real Estate, we’ve helped dozens of clients safely acquire genuine lands, and this article covers everything you must know before making that land payment.  1. Verify the Title Documents Before you commit to any land, confirm the ownership documents. Common titles in Nigeria include: C of O (Certificate of Occupancy) Governor’s Consent Deed of Assignment Survey PlanNever buy land with “family agreement” only — you could be buying into years of court cases.  2. Conduct a Land Search at the Land Registry It’s not enough to just see the documents. Visit the local land registry (e.g., Edo State Land Registry for Benin) and perform a land search. This helps you confirm: The true owner Whether the land is under government acquisition If there’s any legal dispute or encumbrance  3. Inspect the Land Physically Don’t rely on just pictures or promises. Go and see the land yourself (or use a trusted agent). Check for: Access roads Development in the area Nearby infrastructure If the land is swampy or prone to erosion  4. Know the Purpose of the Land Is the land residential, commercial, agricultural, or mixed-use? Don’t assume — ask! Buying residential land in a zone meant for farming can lead to future demolition or government trouble.  5. Use a Trusted Real Estate Agency The safest way to buy land is through a registered and transparent agency.
