Many diaspora investors buy land without bothering about survey plans. But this small document is the difference between secure ownership and catastrophic loss.
Why Surveys Matter:
Defines Exact Boundaries: Prevents encroachment and land disputes.
Reveals Government Acquisition Zones: Avoids buying land that’s already marked for roads, schools, or demolition.
Legal Recognition: Courts and banks only honor land with verified survey documents.
Peace of Mind: A ₦300k survey today can save you from a ₦30M loss tomorrow.
Takeaway:
Don’t just collect receipts—collect a survey plan stamped by the Surveyor-General’s office. It’s your shield against fraud and future battles.
