One of the biggest mistakes people make when buying land is assuming that once the seller produces a Certificate of Occupancy, there is nothing left to investigate.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Before you pay for that property, you should verify the title and confirm:
• 𝗪𝗵𝗼 actually owns the property
• 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 the title document is genuine
• 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 there is any mortgage, caveat, restriction or other encumbrance
• 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 the property is affected by government acquisition or any other interest
• 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 the person selling has the legal authority to sell it
Remember: 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱.
A few minutes of proper due diligence can save you years of litigation and millions of naira.

Yes, lawyers charge for reviewing contracts. And they should.

But the real question is not, “How much is the lawyer charging me?”

The better question is:

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗜 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁?

A contract is not just a document to sign because everyone involved is currently on good terms.

It should clearly establish rights, obligations, ownership, payment, termination, liability and what happens when things do not go according to plan.

We have seen artistes, business partners and other creatives speak publicly about losses and disputes arising from agreements they entered into without fully understanding their implications.

Sometimes, the cheapest time to solve a contractual problem is before you sign.
