The easiest way to avoid property scams in Nigeria is to slow the transaction down until the facts are verified. Scammers need speed. Genuine sellers can handle checks.
Common scam signals
- The agent asks for money before inspection
- The property is far cheaper than similar listings
- The seller refuses to share documents
- You are told not to involve a lawyer
- The payment account does not match the seller story
The safer process
- Inspect the property physically or by live video.
- Get title documents and survey details.
- Let your lawyer verify documents and seller authority.
- Agree terms in writing.
- Pay through a traceable bank channel.
