🔎 5 Common Real Estate Scams in Lagos
1️⃣ Omonile (Land Grabbers) Multiple Sales
* Community families (Omonile) sell the same plot of land to multiple buyers.
* Victims end up in endless disputes or lose the land entirely.
✅ How to Avoid:
Always verify ownership with the family head & witnesses, and register the land with the Lagos State Lands Bureau immediately after purchase.
---
2️⃣ Fake Survey Plans & Documents
* Fraudsters forge survey plans, C of O, or Gazette to deceive buyers.
* You only realize later that the documents are invalid or belong to another land.
✅ How to Avoid:
Take every document to the Surveyor General’s Office and Lands Registry for verification before making payment.
---
3️⃣ Government Acquisition Land Scam
* Some lands are committed for government projects (roads, schools, airports), but sellers disguise them as “genuine” lands.
* Buying such land means automatic loss — government will reclaim it without compensation.
✅ How to Avoid:
Confirm the land status from the Surveyor General’s office before purchase.
---
4️⃣ Estate Developer Fraud
* Unscrupulous estate developers sell plots in estates without proper approvals or titles.
* Buyers later discover the estate has no valid layout plan or title.
✅ How to Avoid:
Check if the estate is registered with the Lagos State Government and confirm the title documents (C of O, Gazette, Governor’s Consent).
---
5️⃣ Middleman Scam (Fake Agents)
* Fake agents collect money claiming to represent landowners.
* After payment, they disappear without a trace.
✅ How to Avoid:
Deal directly with the landowner or verified developer, and involve a property lawyer in every transaction.
---
⚠️ Pro Tip:
Never pay for land in Lagos without professional verification and a lawyer’s involvement.
