Property verification · Nigeria
Before you buy,
know what’s behind it.
The land. The documents. The person selling it. We help you check the facts behind a property, identify unanswered questions and understand the risks before you commit.
Look beyond the listing
A good location is only
part of the story.
Verification connects the property on the ground with its documents, records and the person offering it for sale.
Title & property documents
Review the documents provided, check for inconsistencies and identify the registry searches needed to support the claimed title.
Survey & location
Examine survey information and how it relates to the property’s stated location, dimensions and boundaries.
Acquisition & restrictions
Identify relevant checks for government acquisition, committed use and other restrictions that may affect the proposed transaction.
Disputes & competing claims
Look into concerns about conflicting ownership claims, encumbrances or disputes within the agreed verification scope.
Buildings & intended use
For buildings, identify relevant approval and use records to review. Specialist structural or condition assessments can be discussed separately.
The checks required depend on the property, location and records available. We agree the scope, fees and expected timing with you before work begins.
From questions to evidence

No unexplained next steps.

Open issues and next steps

A few useful answers
Before you
get started.
Can you verify a property you aren’t selling?
Yes. You can discuss verification for a property you found through a seller, agent, family member or another source. It does not have to be listed by PlotVerity.
What if I don’t have all the documents?
Start with the location and whatever information you have. The initial scope review identifies which documents or details are needed and what can be checked.
How much does verification cost?
Fees depend on the location, property and checks required. You receive a scope and quotation before work begins, including any identified search or third-party costs.
How long will it take?
Timing depends on the agreed checks, document availability and access to relevant records. An expected timeline is discussed when the scope is agreed.
Does a report guarantee the property is risk-free?
No. A report describes the evidence available and the checks completed at a particular time. It also highlights limits, unresolved questions and anything that needs further review.
