Property & Real Estate
Acting on the acquisition, disposal, and leasing of land and buildings, from title investigation and conveyancing through perfection of documents and disputes over ownership.
Property transactions in Nigeria turn on the strength of title and the quality of the paperwork that records it. Before a client commits funds, we investigate title at the lands registry, examine the chain of ownership, and identify the encumbrances, family interests, or acquisition notices that so often surface only after a sale has closed.
We prepare and review the agreements that give effect to a transaction — deeds of assignment, leases, mortgages, and tenancy agreements — and see them through perfection, including governor’s consent, stamping, and registration. Where ownership, boundaries, or possession are already contested, we act in the proceedings that follow.
