Dreaming of a home in Nigeria’s fast‑growing capital? With its booming market, Abuja offers incredible opportunities—but also tempting traps for unwary buyers. At Solap Signature Properties Ltd, we believe informed buyers make the best investments. Here’s your guide to spotting the most common scams—and steering clear of them.

 

1. Phantom Developments

Fraudsters advertise gorgeous off‑plan estates that don’t actually exist. You pay a deposit… and the “project” never breaks ground.

How to Avoid:

Always verify the developer’s registration with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC).
Visit the site in person—or send a trusted proxy—before paying anything.

 

2. Forged Title Documents

Scammers present fake Certificates of Occupancy (C of O), Governor’s Consents, or survey plans to back up land ownership.

How to Avoid:

  • Conduct a land search at the Abuja Land Registry yourself or through a reputable lawyer.
  • Confirm that titles are duly registered and stamped by the state.

 

3. Double Allocation

The same plot is sold to multiple buyers using doctored paperwork, leading to legal battles and lost deposits.

How to Avoid:

  • Insist on seeing the original deed of assignment and C of O.
  • Confirm with the Land Registry that no other transfers exist for that parcel.

 

4. Unlicensed Agents & Middlemen

Individuals posing as property consultants who collect hefty “finder’s fees” and disappear.

How to Avoid:

  • Work only with agents registered with recognized bodies like REDAN.
  • Ask for referrals from friends or existing homeowners in Solap Signature developments.

 

5. Overpriced Listings

Properties marketed at inflated rates, taking advantage of buyer urgency in hot markets.

How to Avoid:

  • Do a quick market survey: compare similar plots in the same district.
  • Use online tools or consult an independent valuer before committing.
