Independent land and property verification across Nigeria. We check the seller, the documents, the registry and the site itself — then give you a report that shows the evidence for every answer, including anything we could not confirm.
A verification that only says "verified" tells you nothing.
Read this before you buy any verification service, from us or anyone else.
Three questions. You'll get a recommended service, the price, and how long it takes — instantly, with no details required.
Answer below and we'll show you the right level — including if a cheaper one will do.
Start cheap and shallow, then go deep only if the property survives the first look. Spending heavily on searches and site work before a basic screen is how buyers waste money on properties that were never going to work.
A fast, low-cost preliminary review to tell you whether a property is worth deeper investigation — or whether you should walk away now.
The complete process for land purchases: documents, registry, survey charting and an independent physical inspection of the actual plot.
For completed houses and apartments, including units inside estates — ownership, approvals, physical condition and what it really costs to run.
The checks that matter when you're buying a promise: who the developer really is, whether the project title is sound, and whether the build is actually progressing.
For owners — often in the diaspora — who have already paid and now want to establish what they actually own, and what to do about any gaps.
Buying several plots or units, or auditing a portfolio you already own? We price it as one job so you're not paying full rate five times over.
Tick anything that applies to your situation. These are the warning signs that most often precede a loss. Nothing is submitted or stored — this runs entirely in your browser.
Be honest with yourself here — the point is to catch problems while they're still cheap to catch.
Tick anything that applies above and we'll tell you how concerning it looks — and which level of verification we'd recommend.
Four layers of verification. Which apply depends on the property, the state and the service level — the scope for your specific job is agreed in writing before we start.
Is this person or company entitled to sell you this property at all?
Does the property on paper match the property on the ground?
Do the documents exist, say what they're claimed to say, and hang together?
Which documents apply depends on the property and the state. Typically we review:
What do the official records and the professionals' credentials show?
This structure is the point of the whole service. Every report separates six things, so you can see not just the conclusion but the evidence behind it — and the limits of it.
What we positively established, and the evidence for each. Statements here are things we checked ourselves and can stand behind.
Every document we were given or obtained, listed individually, with what each one shows and any inconsistency between them.
Which searches were run, where, on what date, and the result — so you know exactly what was covered and how current it is.
The section most providers leave out. What we could not confirm, why not — record unavailable, access refused, no response — and what remains unknown as a result.
Our judgement, clearly labelled as judgement rather than fact, so you can weigh it as an opinion and take your own advice on it.
The risks that remain even after everything above — stated plainly, so your decision is made with them in view rather than in spite of them.
On a ₦50 million property, a full verification is around half of one percent of what you're about to spend. On a ₦15 million plot it's under two percent.
You're abroad, the seller is here, and everyone assures you it's fine. Verification is how you replace assurance with evidence.
You're paying for something that doesn't exist yet. The developer's record and the project's title are what you're really buying.
Buying several units or plots. One defective title in a portfolio costs more than verifying all of them.
You paid years ago and were never sure what you got. A Post-Purchase Audit establishes your position and what to fix.
Scope and price agreed in writing first, so you know exactly what you're paying for and what it will and won't cover.
Location, type, what documents you've been given, and where you are in the process.
Within one working day: which checks are possible in that state, the fixed fee, disbursements, and the timeline.
Registry, survey, corporate and professional checks, plus review of every document against the others.
Our inspector attends the property, with GPS-tagged photographs, video and boundary assessment.
The six-section report, followed by a call to walk you through the findings and what they mean.
Tell us about the property. We'll confirm scope, fixed price and timeline within one working day — before any work begins, and before you pay anything.
We'll come back within one working day with what's possible in that state, a fixed price including disbursements, and a timeline — before any work begins. If anything you've told us already looks like a red flag, we'll say so straight away.
Including the ones with uncomfortable answers.
No, and you should be wary of anyone who says otherwise. A private verification is not a state guarantee of title and it is not insurance. What it does is establish what the records and the site actually show, identify problems before your money moves, and tell you honestly what remains unknown. That materially reduces risk — it does not remove it.
Because open-ended professional fees are how verification becomes more expensive than the problem it was meant to prevent. We quote a fixed professional fee, list the registry and government disbursements separately at cost, and confirm both in writing before starting. If the scope genuinely has to change mid-way, we stop and ask you first.
Yes. Verification and legal representation are different things. We investigate and report on the property; your lawyer acts for you on the transaction, drafts and reviews the contract, and handles perfection of title including Governor's Consent. A good report makes your lawyer's job faster and cheaper — it doesn't replace them.
Because a meaningful proportion of properties fail on the basics — documents that don't reconcile, a seller who can't demonstrate authority, land that's already committed. Finding that out for ₦45,000, before you commission full searches and site work, saves you money. And if it passes, the ₦45,000 comes off the price of the fuller service, so it costs you nothing to be careful.
Then the report says exactly that, in the "not independently verified" section, along with what it means for your risk. Registry coverage and accessibility vary considerably between states. We won't present an incomplete search as a clean result — a silent gap in a report is how buyers end up with false confidence.
It's later than ideal, but rarely pointless. The Post-Purchase Audit establishes what you actually own, what documentation is missing, whether title can still be perfected, and what your realistic options are. Many diaspora owners discover they hold something workable that simply was never completed properly — and that is fixable.
Yes, when that's what the evidence supports. We're paid for the verification, not for the transaction completing, and we have no commission riding on you proceeding. Telling you to walk away from a bad property is the service working properly.
Yes — our sister platform Apartments Ghana runs an equivalent verification service for Ghanaian land and property. If you're looking at both markets, we can handle them together.
A verification report is not a guarantee of title. It is an independent investigation and professional report based on the documents supplied, the records accessible at the time, and physical inspection. It is not a state guarantee, a title insurance policy, or an assurance that your interest cannot be challenged.
It is not legal advice and does not replace your lawyer. We report on findings; you should instruct a qualified Nigerian lawyer to act for you on the transaction and on perfection of title, including Deed of Assignment, Governor's Consent under the Land Use Act 1978, and registration.
Prices shown are our professional fee. Government, registry and other third-party disbursements are additional and charged at cost, and are quoted to you in writing before work begins. US dollar figures are indicative only and converted at the prevailing rate on the day of invoicing. Prices are current at the date of this page and may be revised.
Scope varies and is agreed in advance. Which checks are possible depends on the property, the state, registry accessibility and third-party cooperation. Scope, price and turnaround are confirmed in writing before work begins, and the report records any check that could not be completed and why.
Findings are accurate as at the date of the report. Records, occupation and site conditions can change. A report does not cover events after its date. Where the report expresses a professional judgement rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such.
