Property and Real Estate Advisory

We work on property transactions involving land, buildings, and development arrangements in Nigeria. The focus is on confirming ownership, reviewing documentation, and preparing transactions so that transfers are properly recorded and legally effective.

Before Any Transaction Moves Forward

Property decisions often depend on what the documents actually show, not what parties assume. We review title records, check ownership history, and confirm whether the seller or transferor has the legal right to proceed. This stage usually determines whether the transaction can safely continue or needs correction before any commitment is made.

Documentation and Transaction Flow

Once the position is clear, attention shifts to preparing or reviewing the documents that complete the transaction. This includes sale agreements, transfer instruments, and supporting records required to finalise ownership changes. Where gaps exist, we identify what is missing and what must be corrected before completion.

Where Problems Commonly Appear

Issues often surface where ownership history is unclear, earlier transfers were not properly documented, or multiple claims exist over the same property. These situations require a detailed review of records before any further step is taken.

Working Through the Process

Each transaction is assessed based on the available documents and the legal position they create. Where necessary, we engage with relevant registries and parties to regularise documentation and complete required steps for transfer.

Where Our Clients Are Based

We assist clients located in Lagos, Ogun, and Abuja (FCT). We also advise Nigerians abroad and foreign individuals or companies that plan to establish or expand operations in Nigeria or need guidance on Nigerian legal requirements. Where agreements or transactions are concerned, we can review your documents and explain the legal position.
