Buying land in Nigeria is one of the smartest ways to build long term wealth but only if you do it right. Sadly, many people lose millions of naira every year due to avoidable mistakes.
As a professional real estate consultant in Nigeria, I’ve seen these errors repeatedly. Here are 3 common land buying mistakes you must avoid if you want a safe and profitable investment.
1. Buying Land Without Proper Title Verification: One of the biggest land buying mistakes in Nigeria is purchasing land without verifying the title documents. Many buyers rely on verbal promises or “family land” stories, only to discover later that the land is under government acquisition, litigation or has multiple owners
Always verify documents like C of O, or Gazette, Deed of Assignment, and Survey Plans.
2. Not Using a Real Estate Consultant: Trying to buy land on your own to “save money” often leads to costly mistakes. Roadside agents and unverified sellers are responsible for most land scams in Nigeria.
They don’t conduct due diligence, they disappear after payment, and they don’t protect your interest.
Work with a trusted real estate consultant who understands land documentation, location value, negotiation, and legal processes.
3. Buying Land in the Wrong Location: Many people buy land simply because it’s cheap, without considering development plans, accessibility, or future value.
You end up with land that doesn’t appreciate, has no infrastructure, or is difficult to resell.
Always buy land in strategic, fast growing locations with clear development prospects.
