#4 Tips on How to Secure Your Land Investment

The tips below show us how to secure your land after successful purchase in Nigeria especially Lagos where there happened to be many land disputes here and there.

1.      After buying land, one of the first things you can quickly do is to fence it round to

signify that possession has been taken. If the land is already fenced round, good for you.

2.      A second must-do is to start processing your documents immediately with the land registry of the Lagos state government. This process officially transfers the title from the previous owner to you, the new owner.

The sad fact is that a lot of land owners do not do this. And this eventually creates ownership title debate in the future that may swing the law courts against you in the event of a dispute with the seller's children or extended family members.

So, my advice is . . . officially transfer ownership to yourself by registering the title change officially with the Lagos state government.

Sure, this will cost you money. But it will secure your land investment.

3.      A third way of buying land and securing it is to build a small gate house or a set-back boys quarters and getting someone to live within the premises of the property.

This is especially useful when you buy an investment property you do not plan to develop for a long period or a good number of years.

The person residing in the property will become your 'eyes and ears', keeping you informed of events around the vicinity of your land purchase area.

Guess what.

You don't need to spend a dime on salary for this person. Simply look for a trustworthy poor fellow who already lives around the neighborhood and offer to allow him stay in the one or two room gate house or BQ free of charge.

You know what?

He will be more than grateful to send you regular updates in exchange for free accommodation.

This is a true win-win situation.

Bottom line.
