Nigerian land law can be confusing for first-time buyers because of the range of documents in circulation, not all of which offer the same legal protection. A Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) is issued by the state government and is widely regarded as the strongest evidence of title. A Deed of Assignment transfers interest in the land from seller to buyer and should always be registered. Governor's Consent is required under the Land Use Act before a registered title can be validly transferred to a new owner in many states. A survey plan, on its own, only shows boundaries — it is not proof of ownership. Before purchasing any property, insist on seeing original documents, verify them at the relevant land registry, and engage a professional to conduct due diligence. UB Architects works with verified sellers and can help buyers navigate this process from inspection through to registration.
