FAQ 

1. How can I know that a property listed on Lagos Property Direct is genuine and available?

We provide property information and verification support to help buyers make informed decisions. Property listings are subject to availability and can change without notice. Before making a commitment, we recommend confirming the property’s current availability, ownership or developer information, documentation, location and other relevant details through appropriate verification channels.

2. Does Lagos Property Direct verify property titles and documents?

We help buyers carry out property and document due diligence before proceeding with a purchase. Depending on the property, this may include reviewing available title documents, survey information, ownership or developer documentation and other relevant records.

Where legal confirmation is required, buyers should use an appropriately qualified Nigerian property lawyer or other relevant professional to independently confirm the legal status of the property.

3. Can I inspect a property if I live outside Nigeria?

Yes. Nigerians living abroad can arrange a virtual property tour where available. We can provide remote visual access to the property and surrounding location so you can see the property without being physically present in Lagos.

A virtual inspection does not replace legal due diligence or an independent physical inspection where one is necessary.

4. Can someone physically inspect the property on my behalf?

Yes. Depending on the property and arrangement, a physical inspection can be organised. This can be useful for buyers who are outside Nigeria and want the property and surrounding environment physically checked before making a decision.

5. Can I join the property inspection live from the UK, USA, Canada or another country?

Yes. Where network coverage and the property location permit, a live video walkthrough can allow you to participate remotely during an inspection.

You can ask questions and request views of relevant parts of the property while the inspection is taking place.

6. What documents should I check before buying property in Lagos?

The documents required depend on the type of property, its location, ownership history and how it is being sold. Depending on the transaction, relevant documents may include title documents, survey plans, allocation documents, deeds, development or building-related documents and other supporting records.

The appropriate documents should be reviewed and independently verified before a buyer commits to the transaction.

7. Do I need a lawyer before buying property in Nigeria from abroad?

For a significant property purchase, independent legal advice is strongly recommended, particularly for buyers who are not physically present in Nigeria.

A qualified Nigerian property lawyer can help review the transaction, investigate the property’s legal status, examine documentation, advise on the contract and guide the buyer through the legal completion process.

8. How are deposits and payments handled?

Payment arrangements depend on the specific property, seller or developer and transaction terms. Before making any payment, buyers should receive clear information about the property, the party receiving the payment, the purpose of the payment, applicable terms and the relevant documentation.

9. Can I buy property in Nigeria without travelling to Lagos?

In many cases, buyers can manage significant parts of the property-search and inspection process remotely. Lagos Property Direct can assist with property discovery, communication and virtual inspections.

However, the exact purchase process depends on the property and transaction. Legal documentation, title verification, contracts, payments and completion should be handled through appropriate professionals and authorised parties.

10. Can I buy land remotely?

Yes, it is possible to begin and manage parts of a land purchase remotely. However, land transactions require careful due diligence because the legal status, ownership, permitted use and documentation can vary significantly from one property to another.

Before purchasing land, ensure that the relevant documentation and ownership/title position have been properly investigated and independently verified.

11. Do you guarantee that every property investment will increase in value?

No. Property values and investment outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Location, infrastructure, development, market conditions, demand, title status and many other factors can affect a property’s future value.

Our role is to help buyers access property information and carry out appropriate verification so they can make informed decisions.

12. Can Nigerians in the diaspora get help after purchasing a property?

Yes. Depending on the property and agreed service, we can discuss ongoing support such as property-related communication, inspections and management coordination.

The specific services available should be confirmed before purchase and documented clearly.

13. What locations does Lagos Property Direct cover?

Our property focus includes major areas of Lagos, particularly the Lekki corridor and other prime Lagos locations, including areas such as Lekki Phase 1, Ikate, Ikota, Ajah, Chevron, Osapa, Jakande, Orchid Road, VGC, Sangotedo, Ibeju-Lekki and surrounding areas.

Available properties and locations change over time, so contact us for current listings.

14. How do I start the process from abroad?

You can start remotely by telling us what you are looking for, including your preferred location, property type, budget and intended use.

From there, you can explore available properties, request additional information, arrange a virtual or physical inspection and determine what verification is required before proceeding.

Your first step does not have to be a payment. Start with information, inspection and verification.

15. How can I book a virtual or physical property tour?

Contact Lagos Property Direct with the property you are interested in and your preferred inspection arrangement. We can discuss the available inspection options and coordinate the next step.

16. Does Lagos Property Direct provide legal advice?

Lagos Property Direct provides property information, listing and verification support. We do not replace the independent legal advice of a qualified Nigerian property lawyer.

Where a matter requires legal interpretation, title investigation or formal legal advice, buyers should engage an appropriately qualified professional.

Discover the property. Inspect it. Verify the relevant information. Understand the transaction. Then decide.
