    If you are buying Nigerian property from abroad, ask for documents before you ask for account details. A serious seller or agent should be able to explain the title and transfer process clearly.

    Documents to request

    • Title document such as C of O, allocation letter or prior Deed of Assignment
    • Survey plan or estate layout details
    • Seller identification or company registration details
    • Evidence of previous transfer where applicable
    • Receipts, allocation papers or estate correspondence where relevant

    What your lawyer should do

    Your lawyer should check that the document is genuine, the seller has authority to sell, the land or house matches the document and the property can be transferred to you safely.

    Do not rely on screenshots

    Screenshots are easy to fake. Ask for documents that your lawyer can review, then let the lawyer confirm with the relevant land authority or issuing body.
