One of the biggest mistakes many people make when buying property in Nigeria is paying for land or buildings without ensuring proper title perfection. Many buyers focus on location, price, and promises from sellers while ignoring the legal process required to fully secure ownership of the property.
A property may look genuine and even come with documents, but if the title is not properly perfected, the buyer can face serious legal and financial problems later. In many cases, people buy land with incomplete documentation, unregistered transfers, defective ownership history, or pending government consent issues without realizing the risks involved.
Title perfection is the legal process of properly documenting, registering, and securing ownership rights over a property. Without proper perfection, ownership can become difficult to defend, transfer, sell, use as collateral, or legally prove in the future.
Many investors also assume that once they receive a Deed of Assignment or make payment, the transaction is complete. Unfortunately, failure to perfect title documents can expose buyers to disputes, ownership challenges, double sales, and complications at the Land Registry.
