Property Verification

Property verification is a cornerstone service at RAA Realtors and Properties, developed to address one of the most critical challenges in the Nigerian real estate market—fraud and misinformation. Our verification process is designed to provide clients with absolute confidence in the authenticity and legality of any property they intend to acquire. We begin by conducting a thorough investigation into the ownership of the property. This includes confirming the identity of the seller and ensuring that they have the legal right to transfer ownership without restrictions or disputes.

Our verification process extends to title documents, where we examine certificates such as the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), Governor’s Consent, Deed of Assignment, and other relevant legal instruments. Each document is carefully scrutinized to confirm its validity.

We also perform checks with relevant government authorities and land registries to verify the status of the property. This helps identify any encumbrances, liens, or legal issues that may affect the transaction. In addition to legal verification, we assess the physical condition and location of the property. Site inspections are conducted to confirm that the property matches its description and is free from boundary disputes or encroachments.

Our team evaluates zoning regulations and land use classifications to ensure that the property can be used for its intended purpose. This is particularly important for clients interested in commercial or development projects. We also investigate the history of the property, including previous ownership records and transaction history. This provides a clear picture of the property’s background and reduces the likelihood of hidden issues.

Transparency is central to our verification service. Clients receive detailed reports outlining our findings, including any potential risks or concerns that need to be addressed before proceeding.

Where necessary, we collaborate with legal professionals and surveyors to provide additional layers of verification. This multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive due diligence.
