Hi Nairalanders.

1. Could you guys give your opinions on which is more advisable to use: government surveyors or private survayor?
2. Could anyone also give an idea on what their services cost.  Someone that is trying to represent me back in Naija is
telling me something in the region of 200 to 250 k depending on which I choose?

@Viqwinner
That's Definitely an oversee person charge, what i have discovered is once people know you are from abroad the charges quoted tend to increase by as much as 100%- 200%, this i discovered when i was trying to buy land last October, all i can say is please kick back don't accept it, scout around for different quotes. More so get someone trusted who lives in naija to negotiate for you, please never let them know you are from abroad.

A survey for one plot of land should not cost more than 100K- 140K depending on the area, i have just done survey on Ten acres trust me i paid nothing near the price i quoted here, but that was solely because i got people in naija to negotiate on my behalf.

Government ones tend to be more expensive sha but the quality of service would be better i.e assurance all survey copies are filled at the land Bureau

i wish you all the best
