Don’t scare people sir!

Though am a silent reader on this forum but I need to say something on the issue of regulatory agency in lagos, Honestly they are not helping potential builder at all. In my own case I almost abandoned the project when I realised the money I will need to pay Lagos state govt before I can start building .
Imagine paying 1.5m for tax when such money can go a long way in building process not to talk of other agency involved in building approval. For me you must be prepared when building in Lagos.
Except you want short cut which is very risky and can make you pay more at the end of the day

[quote author=davodyguy post=98048357]Let's create something on this thread

If you have questions pertaining to titles of land or approval to build, please ask me[/quote

We got a plot of land in Ibadan and were given a survey plan in the seller's name. The plan isn't registered. We have had it prepared in our name.

What is it useful for?
Should we get a registered one in our name instead?

Thank you for your response.

It's a semidetached, 2 bedroom attached to a 3 bedroom.

It will cost you between #75-#100K.
But a better realistic price will be when the plan is submitted to the office. The price will be ascertained by the height of the kingpost amongst other things as guiding factors.

Thanks.

Great Architect in the house, kindly help me check out this plan and point out the errors before laying my foundation please. Thanks

why does everyone have to pass through the sitting room to access the rest of the building. big rooms, tiny wardrobes, tiny kitchen store, put shelves and you can barely enter the store again. master bathroom intruding sitting space. poor planning and space management.

kopell:
Scare ke, there are may places where 1.5m can build one moderate 2 bedrooms bungalow. In Lagos you no better, from land fees, building permits, towns planning fee, building approval, safety, soil test depending on location etc. So tell me all those fees when you do right, are the not more then 1.5m? Tax a lone to get approval is average of 200k or more, when you’re not regular tax payers in the state.

From experience you are right, imagin paying 1.5m for tax

I always tell people this.

A survey plan on its own is not a 'valid' title, either registered or unregistered.

A survey plan only shows you the dimension and location of a land, its coordinates and may be the beacon numbers.

5 of us can have a survey plan drawn in our names by 5 different land surveyors on a single plot.

What you should do is to ask the vendor if he/she has a valid title that confirms he owns the land.

if he doesn't have other than a receipt (which itself does not confirm ownership, cause I can also issue you a receipt on a land that doesn't belong to me) take the survey plan to the Office of the Surveyor General of Oyo State, and Chart it first to confirm if the land is free from acquisition and if under acquisition, is it committed or can be ratified by you obtaining consent to Survey.

Start here first

You have a very big terrace by the kitchen which I really do not understand it’s usefulness and proportionality . By the way, there’s no dining area in this design...what you have there is a passageway.

Ok, thanks, am I also submitting the survey plan of the land together with the architectural drawing?

There is no need to end the debate. I don’t think is debate anyway, let people voice the experience so others won’t be a victim. Our experience is very costly, if I tell you how much it cost me to no many of these things since 1991 when I started investing in land you be surprised. I bought more of na lier, more then na true, the scammers no better. Many of the information people find here are not as open as it should be even in many government agency. Most times we’re victims, that how many of us knew many of these tricks .

I was surprised to hear bag of cement today. I pray it comes down more. #3000 per bag in ilesa today

I assume you are talking about the survey plan the land seller shows the buyer.

I have a question, what is red copy survey and does that serve as any form of a valid title?

No please

Registering your survey plan is a means to an end not an end in its self.

One of the prerequisites to getting either your Certificate of Occupancy or your Deed of Assignment registered is registering your survey plan at the office of Surveyor General, called lodgement.

This is why it's called 'Red copy'. The color of the survey plan is not red, just as the black box in a plane is not painted in black colour.

At the Surveyor General's office, they only check few things before registering a survey plan in the name of any applicant that comes for registration.

1. That the survey plan is signed by a registered land surveyor

2. The land is not within a government scheme

3. The land is properly positioned and not on Road alignment

4. Coordinates are correct

5. Land is not under Acquisition and if under Acquisition, consent to survey is obtained.


They don't care who's name is on it. Hence, they would only come to court to defend the plan submitted to them and not say who truly owns the land.

It's Lands Bureau that controls land ownership as vested into the Governor of that state by the Land Use Act 1978

Thank you sir.

So to have a complete ownership of a land, one must have the CofO

Or should I say what document must one have to have posses the full ownership of a land

Beware.

Don't out of desperation or urge rush to buy land in Lagos.

You just might be buying a land acquired by LASG

Investigate your land, even if the popular real estate companies advertised it to you.

Chart the survey plan first.

Anyone who buys land illegally in a government scheme would lose out

Hello sir/ma

Pls, is it proper or ideal to place exit door of a structure inside kitchen??

Let me explain, like you have to pass through the kitchen before exiting the house...
Proper??

It can be placed in anywhere you want it. I have a client that fixed a door (exit) at dinning area apart from the one he has in the kitchen.

It is usually placed in Kitchen because that is where we also spend much time, much activities go on there.

Also, incase of fire hazard, smoke and heat generated during cooking, it is easy to exit than taking another route.
