by Desh Nautilus Ltd 🔎 Protecting Your Investment Before It Begins
In Lagos real estate, your dream can either begin with peace or end in panic.
The difference? What you know before you pay.
At Desh Nautilus, we’ve walked with dozens of clients who came to us after facing land scams, title confusion, or regrettable investments. And while we believe in second chances, we believe more in first-time clarity. In this post, we break down the 3 land title mistakes you must avoid – so your journey begins with confidence, not correction.
✅ 1. Ignoring the Importance of a Verified Title
One of the biggest mistakes buyers make is trusting the word of an agent or seller without seeing verifiable documents. In Lagos, that’s how millions are lost.
📌 What to Check:
- C of O (Certificate of Occupancy)
- Governor’s Consent
- Excision/Gazette
- Deed of Assignment
Never pay a dime until these are sighted and confirmed. If they say “It’s in process,” politely delay your payment or walk away.At Desh Nautilus, every property is verified and title-secure before we even list it.
❌ 2. Believing That Survey Equals Ownership
A survey plan is not a title.
It simply shows the size and coordinates of the land. Without an accompanying title document, the survey is like drawing a dream on paper, with no legal weight.
🛑 Don’t let anyone wave a survey at you and call it proof. Always ask:
- Who owns the land?
- What right do they have to sell?
Is there a valid title accompanying this survey?
❓ 3. Failing to Ask the Right Questions
In Lagos real estate, what you don’t ask can cost you everything.
Don’t assume the land is clean just because the price sounds sweet. Ask these questions boldly:
- What title does this land carry?
- Can I see it – today?
- Who signed it? When was it registered?
- Who is the actual owner?
You’re not being rude. You’re being wise.
💡 Bonus Tip: Work With a Brand That Educates You
At Desh Nautilus, we don’t just close deals. We walk our clients through every legal step – documents, verification, inspections, and security.
We believe that you should never have to trade your peace for a piece of land. Our Platinum Square apartments, for example, come with Governor’s Consent, giving our buyers full clarity, full rights, and full peace of mind.
🏁 In Conclusion: The Best Deals Come With Documents
In a city where property dreams are bought and buried daily, knowledge is your greatest down payment.
If you’re thinking of buying property, don’t just fall in love with the land. Fall in love with the paperwork that protects it.
