Duplex Inspection Checklist in Abuja
Before buying a duplex in Abuja, inspect the physical building and verify the legal documents. A beautiful home can still have defects, title issues or hidden ownership costs.
Structure
Check cracks, damp, roof lines and drainage.
Services
Check water, power, plumbing, security and parking.
Title
Your lawyer verifies title and seller authority.
Costs
Ask for service charge, legal fees and transfer costs.
Physical inspection
Walk the property slowly. Do not let paint and lighting distract you from the essentials: structure, roof, walls, floors, plumbing, electrical systems, drainage and ventilation.
For a luxury duplex, also check parking, compound slope, water source, generator or inverter setup, wardrobes, kitchen fittings and bathroom finish.
- Wall cracks and damp patches
- Roof lines and ceiling stains
- Water pressure and plumbing points
- Electrical fittings and distribution board
- Drainage and compound slope
- Parking, gate, security and access road
Document inspection
Your lawyer should review the title document, seller authority, survey or property description, prior transfer documents and any estate rules.
Ask whether fixtures are included in the sale and whether there are outstanding service charges.
Remote duplex inspection
If you are outside Abuja or abroad, request a live video inspection where you can direct the camera. Ask to see defects and services, not only the best rooms.
