Owning land is one of the most valuable assets you can have—especially in a fast-growing country like Nigeria. But while land ownership is a major achievement, it also comes with responsibilities and potential pitfalls. At Solap Signature Properties Ltd, we’ve seen many landowners fall into costly traps—sometimes losing millions due to avoidable mistakes.
Whether you’re a first-time landowner or a seasoned investor, this post will help you understand and avoid the most common land ownership mistakes in Nigeria.
Many landowners fail to verify the title, ownership, and status of the land before purchase.
You could end up buying government-acquired land, disputed land, or land that doesn’t legally belong to the seller.
Relying on informal agreements or “word of mouth” transactions without proper legal paperwork. Without a Deed of Assignment, Survey Plan, or Certificate of Occupancy, you have no legal proof of ownership.
Buying land and leaving it unattended for years. You risk encroachment, illegal resale, or losing the land to squatters or trespassers.
Assuming any land can be used for residential or commercial purposes without checking local zoning laws. Building without approvals can lead to demolition, fines, or halted construction.
Skipping professional land survey or using unregistered surveyors. Boundary disputes, overlap with other plots, or issues during registration.
Land is a powerful tool for building wealth—but only if managed correctly. Avoiding these common mistakes can save you from legal battles, financial losses, and emotional stress.
