What is a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)?
A C of O is an official document issued by the Lagos State Government that confirms your legal ownership of a particular piece of land.
Why is Governor's Consent necessary in some cases?
Where a property has a C of O, it is mandatory for every subsequent transaction on that property for the Governor's Consent to be obtained. E.g Company ABC has a C of O on a block of flats in Banna Island, Mrs K buys one of the flats, she is obliged under the Land Use Act to apply for Governor’s consent to her deed of assignment. The assignment is the document that transfer ownership from Company ABC TO Mrs. K. We offer the services for drafting property documentation here. Real Estate Drafting - Charis Legal Practice
