Can I Buy Land Without Being in Nigeria?

Can I Buy Land Without Being in Nigeria?

One of the most common questions I get from clients in the diaspora is: “Can they buy land in Nigeria without being physically present?”

The simple answer is YES, you can! Many Nigerians abroad successfully acquire land back home without stepping foot into the country. However, it must be done the right way to avoid fraud or future disputes.

Here’s How It Works:

1. Work with a Trusted Real Estate Consultant.

This is the most important step. Partner with a professional who has a proven track record of transparency and can provide proper documentation, videos, and verification.

2. Use a Representative

You can ask a trusted family member, or your real estate consultant to represent you during the signing and documentation process.

3. Demand Proper Documentation

Insist on seeing the land’s documents (Survey, Deed of Assignment, Excision, or C of O depending on the property). Your consultant should also help you verify these documents with the authorities.

4. Leverage Technology

With tools like video calls, drone footage, estate layout maps, and digital payment platforms, you can inspect and pay for land from anywhere in the world.

5. Secure Your Title

Once payment is made, ensure your name is captured in the Deed of Assignment and that your documents are properly signed, sealed, and delivered to you, even if you are abroad or have your consultant keep it for you.

Buying land from outside Nigeria is 100% possible and safe, if you work with the right professionals. Don’t let distance stop you from building wealth at home.
