Essential Preparations Before Buying Land or an already built Property
What should I do before buying land in Nigeria?
Before you even look at a property or speak to a real estate agent, your first step must be establishing strict, emotion-free investment criteria. Do not let beautiful 3D marketing brochures or high-pressure sales pitches sway you.
- Define Your Purpose: Are you buying to build a family home right away, or are you looking for long-term capital appreciation?
- Analyze the Market: Research historical appreciation data for the specific districts you are interested in.
- Verify Infrastructure: Evaluate the true accessibility of the terrain and the proximity to core infrastructure like expressways, hospitals, and commercial hubs.
- Doing this foundational work ensures you make a data-driven decision rather than an emotional one.
What questions should I ask a developer before buying a piece of land?
Before signing any contract, demand clear answers to these three critical questions:
- “Does this estate layout have full FCDA or relevant government approval?”
- “Can I see the relevant government approvals?”
- “Are there any extra infrastructure development fees or hidden levies that I will need to pay later?”
