A Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Genuine Land in Abuja
Before making any payment for land in Abuja, ensure every box below is checked. If one fails, pause the transaction.
✅ 1. Confirm Land Location & Plot Details
☐ Exact plot number identified
☐ District, layout, and phase confirmed
☐ Land matches approved Abuja master plan
☐ Coordinates align with survey plan
📌 Never rely on verbal descriptions alone.
✅ 2. Verify Ownership at AGIS
☐ Seller’s name matches AGIS records
☐ No conflicting ownership claims
☐ Land is not listed as government-owned
☐ Allocation status confirmed
🚩 Mismatch in names = red flag.
✅ 3. Check Land Title Status
☐ Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) verified
☐ Right of Occupancy (R of O) confirmed
☐ Title is valid and not revoked
☐ Title is properly registered in AGIS
📄 Unregistered titles are risky.
✅ 4. Authenticate Survey Plan
☐ Survey plan submitted to AGIS
☐ Survey is charted and registered
☐ Survey matches land location on AGIS map
☐ Surveyor is government-approved
🧭 Fake surveys are common—verify.
✅ 5. Confirm Land Use & Zoning
☐ Approved land use confirmed (Residential / Commercial / Mixed)
☐ Land is not under road alignment
☐ Not within green areas or utility corridors
☐ No planning restriction issues
🏗️ Wrong zoning can stop development entirely.
✅ 6. Check for Government Acquisition or Revocation
☐ Land is not under acquisition
☐ No demolition or infrastructure notice
☐ No revocation record at AGIS
☐ Area council claims ruled out
⚠️ Government interest overrides private ownership.
✅ 7. Validate Transaction History
☐ Previous transfers recorded in AGIS
☐ No multiple sales on same plot
☐ Chain of ownership verified
☐ No pending disputes or litigation
🔍 One land, one owner—always.
✅ 8. Register the Transaction Properly
☐ Deed of Assignment prepared
☐ Governor’s Consent processed
☐ Transaction captured in AGIS
☐ New ownership updated in records
🛡️ Unregistered land = unprotected investment.
✅ 9. Engage Qualified Professionals
☐ Real estate consultant involved
☐ Property lawyer engaged
☐ Licensed surveyor consulted
☐ AGIS verification independently confirmed
👷🏽♂️ Never do it alone.
