Buying a property in Lagos should be a course on its own.

It will suprise you guys that these lands that is claimed to be in Govts right of way, some of them may have C/O.

The same Govt that will spank them for building on Govts area is the same Govt that would have been collecting Ground rent and sending boiz to collect money in name of tax.

Real estate in Lagos na war!

What do you know? Better go and sit down somewhere.
Hope you know they are revoking CofOs and resettling families with excision in Ibeju. Not to talk of the government acquisition that they're turning to government committed lands for the refinery extension.

Wait until you get to site and try to start work. That's when you'll see magic. Go and ask people there.

I'm unsure what is it exactly you are on about. speak for yourself mate. you sound like nobody's built houses in Lekki before, why are you even talking about refinery? do you know how far the refinery is even from the boundaries of Ibeju-Lekki which starts from around Majek or what do they call that resort sef? WTF go sleep

futurism:
All those Ibeju Lekki area is a dangerous place to buy land based on what I learned.

why?

helinues:
Give them proper notification before embarking on demolishing the houses or that may hunt you back

How, the people don't have a say in who becomes the governor of Lagos,they donated that right long time ago
Therefore they can endure any shit and do no jack

Hmmmm

Hmm..

ornicus:


Are you saying he will wash his hands of the matter of the church in the row?

Indeed I am

brownnikky16:
Well if this will solve the flooding then its ok

It's ok to demolish someone's sweat to satisfy your erosion prone land. Why didn't you look before buying in the first place.

Nonsense.

delpee:


You can always verify before you buy and build. Omonile, the lawyer has been doing a wonderful job in this regard.

I hear you. Even with all your C of O and necessary land documents issued by government, they'll still steal your land from you and nothing will happe or they'll claim to compensate you and it will be stories at the end of the day

Please tell me what you learnt. I'm about to buy land there

My personal opinion is the fact that his excellency has identify a major challenge in the planning condition of the state . But the fact remain that no action will be taken on most of the defaulters .
The people in Lekki that have developed on public land and other spaces that are not in the original master plan for allocations to build and develop .
Take the CBD as a typical example sample . You will discover that spaces that are allocated for parking has being reallocated for schools shopping mall etc .
Even with the will power the structure will complete compromise the operation .

I am involved in a 100 acres purchase, after they said it is not under acquisition, even though I warned them that we have a surveyor general in charge of investigations.

They said no problem.. One of them kept bugging us to come and pay...

Well, it turned out the land is under government acquisition from our investigators.

Your eyes go clear las las
P. S The land talked about here is not Lagos.

before you buy, do your due diligence before you pay them.

They will tell you that no problem on the land because they want your money.

I am part of a team working for a client to acquire some acres of land, about 1 and half hectares of land actually....
They told us no problem on the land, I told them we would investigate it and they said no problem.

They probably said it to make us believe it's genuine.

Eventually our team of investigators found out that the land is under government acquisition.

So you see?

Someone advised that before you buy land at Ibeju Lekki, you should confirm from. Alausa.

For our own we have surveyor general that handles stuff like that for us. If he says we should go ahead, we would. If he says no, we don't.

Just do ur due diligence before u buy.. Don't even trust ur own brother in this case.

Nigerians are hungry lions looking for whom to devour

Stevecovey:


Yes. Many fraudulent estate agents. We almost fell for one. Our lawyer told us to check with planning office before payment, and we found out the agent had not even gotten CofO for the land cos it was under contention wt the state government.
Another seller had duped him, and he wanted to quickly chop up and resell the land to unsuspecting buyers. If u see the brochure ehn, you would never believe the land had k-leg.

That is what they do. We just uncovered one recently despite my warnings to. Them. That we have surveyor general that handled investigations for us. They said no problem...

Only for our investigators to reveal the land is under acquisition.
