FAQ

Common questions

Why is title verification so important?
It confirms the seller genuinely owns the property and that it is free of disputes, mortgages or government acquisition — protecting you from fraud and future loss.
What is governor’s consent and do I need it?
Under the Land Use Act, most transfers of land require the consent of the state governor to be fully valid. We handle this perfection process for you.
Can you help with property outside Lagos?
Yes. We act on transactions in Lagos, Port Harcourt and other states, coordinating local searches and registrations as needed.
