Introduction: Protect Your Investment Before It’s Too Late
Buying real estate in Nigeria can be a rewarding investment—if done correctly. However, countless buyers lose millions every year due to fraudulent sellers, fake land titles, and hidden legal issues. Without proper due diligence, you risk losing your hard-earned money.
At Charis Legal Practice, we specialize in comprehensive real estate due diligence to ensure your property is legally safe before you buy.
In this guide, we’ll explain why due diligence is critical, what it involves, and how we’ve helped clients avoid major property disasters.
What is Real Estate Due Diligence?
Real estate due diligence is a thorough legal investigation into a property to confirm its ownership, title validity, and any hidden legal risks before purchase.
This process helps buyers:
✅ Avoid fraudulent sellers and fake land documents
✅ Ensure the land is not under government acquisition
✅ Confirm the land title is legally registered
✅ Identify ongoing disputes, mortgages, or encumbrances
✅ Gain legal protection for a safe investment

2. Land Registry & Survey Search
✔️ Verify if the land truly exists in the registered location
✔️ Check for government acquisition, restrictions, or pending disputes
