Before the Bulldozer Comes — Know the Right Steps!

Many Lagos property owners lose their buildings not because they did wrong intentionally — but because they didn’t take the right legal and documentation steps from the start.

Before you buy or build on any land in Lagos, make sure you:

1. ✅ Verify the land title — Confirm if it has a C of O, Gazette, or Excision.

2. 🗂️ Check planning approval — Ensure your building plan is approved by the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA).

3. 🧭 Conduct proper land survey — Avoid building outside the approved layout.

4. 🏛️ Buy from the rightful owner — Confirm ownership with the family, community, or government authority.

5. 📜 Process your building documents early — Don’t wait till issues arise before perfecting your papers.
