What Gets Checked

Four questions every report answers

The title is genuine and registrable

A solicitor searches the title at the Lagos State Land Registry and confirms it stands in the seller’s name.

The survey matches the ground

The survey plan is checked against the beacons on site — coordinates matched, boundaries confirmed.

Nothing is hanging over it

Government acquisition, litigation and other encumbrances are checked and reported, not glossed over.

The land itself is described honestly

Access, terrain, occupancy and flood or environmental exposure are disclosed before anyone commits.

How It Runs

From request to report

01

Send the documents

The title document, the survey plan and the location of the land. We tell you if anything is missing before we start.

02

Choose the report

Desk search, or search plus a physical site visit. Charged per land title.

03

We verify

A solicitor searches the registry; where you asked for it, a registered surveyor attends the site and photographs it.

04

You get it in writing

Verified or flagged, with the search reference, the surveyor’s report and the encumbrance position stated plainly.

Title Types

What the document in front of you means

Four titles turn up again and again in Lagos land deals. They are not interchangeable.

Certificate of Occupancy

The state’s grant of a right of occupancy over a specific parcel, for a term of years.

Governor’s Consent

Required when land already under a C of O changes hands. Without it, a transfer is unperfected.

Registered Gazette

Publishes land excised from government acquisition back to a community, establishing its right to deal.

Government Allocation

Land allocated under a state scheme, typically by letter of allocation, with a conversion path to follow.

Questions

Before you order a report

What exactly is checked before a report is issued?
An independent panel confirms the title is genuine and registrable, confirms the survey and beacons on the ground, checks for government acquisition or other encumbrances, and discloses flood and environmental risk.
What is the difference between the two reports?
A Title & Survey Search is a desk search of the title document, survey plan and encumbrances — no site visit. The Site Verification report includes everything in the search plus a physical visit to the land by a registered surveyor, with photographs.
How long does verification take?
It depends on the report type and how quickly title and survey records can be confirmed. A search is faster; a search with site verification takes longer because it includes an on-the-ground inspection. You are updated at each step.
What happens if the land does not pass?
You get the finding in writing. Where an issue can be resolved we say exactly what is needed; where it cannot, you have saved yourself a purchase. A listing on Landstake only goes live once both the title and the survey read Verified.
Can I order a report on land I found elsewhere?
Yes. Verification is charged per land title, whether or not the plot is listed on Landstake.
