🏡 5 Things to Look Out for During a Property Inspection in Lagos

You’ve finally done it.
You found the listing. You made the call.
Now you’re headed to Lekki, under the hot sun, in your nice shirt, maybe with your cousin who knows “a thing or two about land.”

But here’s the thing: Property inspection in Lagos is not beans.
It’s not just about seeing sand and snapping selfies.

It’s about asking the right questions…
… spotting the red flags before they cost you millions…
… and knowing what separates “this is land” from “this is legacy.”

Because let’s face it, in Lagos real estate, what you see isn’t always what you’ll get.

So before you hop into that Uber or call us at Desh Nautilus to schedule your inspection, here are:

🧠 5 Must-Know Things to Look Out for During a Property Inspection in Lagos

🧱 1. The Soil, the Surroundings, and the Smell of Promise

Yes, we’re starting with the soil, because if the ground isn’t solid, neither is your investment.

Ask yourself:

• Is the land dry or swampy?
• Is it reclaimed sand-fill or original earth?
• Any visible flooding nearby?

Trust us, no one dreams of building their future on floating tiles.

At Platinum Square, for example – the terrain is solid, dry, and development-ready. Two years ago, it was ₦35M per Apartment. Today? ₦70M and climbing. That’s not just land, that’s appreciation in motion.

🛣️ 2. Road Network, Access, and Realistic Commute

We get it, your future house doesn’t need to be on 3rd Mainland Bridge. But don’t buy what you can’t drive to.

Check:

• Is there actual road access or is the path still in someone’s imagination?
• Is it close to major roads, schools, or hospitals?
• Is that “10-minute drive to Ajah” actually a 40-minute trek on a good day?

Lekki Scheme II stands out here. With infrastructure expanding rapidly, you’re not just buying land, you’re buying location leverage.

🗺️ 3. Title Documents and True Ownership

This one is not just important, it’s critical.

During your property inspection in Lagos, ask the tough questions:

• “What’s the title?”
• “Is it gazette, C of O, or freehold?”
• “Who owns the land, and how long have they owned it?”

Because you’re not just inspecting the land, you’re inspecting the truth behind it.

At Desh Nautilus, we show you real papers, not “we go get am soon.” Platinum Square is titled and registered, ready for both building and resale.

👀 4. Development Around the Site

You want to buy in a zone that’s alive, not abandoned.

So when you’re doing your property inspection in Lagos, look out for:

• Is anyone building around the site?
• Are there signs of government presence, electricity poles, drainage, estate gates?
• Can you envision this place in 2 years?

The difference between a bush and an estate is time + planning + development. Don’t just inspect the plot, inspect the progress.

👨🏽‍💼 5. The People Behind the Property

And finally… inspect us.
Inspect the seller. The agent. The team guiding you.

Ask:

• Are they rushing you or walking you through things?
• Do they care about your future or just your transfer receipt?
• Are they guiding you with clarity or confusing you with sweet words?

At Desh Nautilus, we’re not just here to sell.
We’re here to educate, expose, and elevate.
Whether you buy now, later, or never – you’ll leave every inspection smarter.

Because we believe in informed decisions, not impulsive ones.

🔚 Why It Matters More Than Ever

Land in Lekki Scheme II is now going for between ₦100M to ₦250M in prime areas.
Two years ago, Platinum Square was ₦35M, now it’s ₦70M, and still rising.

Property inspection in Lagos isn’t something you “just go and do.”
It’s the first step of one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

And if done right, it’s also the moment you say:

“Yes, this is the land that will carry my future.”
