In Lagos real estate, many buyers stop at getting a Deed of Assignment after purchasing land from someone with a C of O. But legally, that’s not enough. To secure your ownership and protect your investment, you must obtain the Governor’s Consent.
---
🔑 What is Governor’s Consent?
Governor’s Consent is the approval of the Lagos State Governor for any land transaction after the first allocation (C of O).
Without it, your ownership is incomplete and can be challenged in the future.
---
📌 Step-by-Step Process to Obtain Governor’s Consent in Lagos
1️⃣ Engage a Registered Surveyor & Lawyer
Get a registered survey plan of the land.
Hire a real estate lawyer to draft or review your Deed of Assignment.
---
2️⃣ Prepare the Required Documents
You’ll need:
* Deed of Assignment (duly executed)
* Survey plan (sealed by Surveyor General)
* Tax clearance certificates of both buyer and seller
* Duly completed Land Form 1C (Governor’s Consent application form)
* Evidence of payment for charting, endorsement & consent fees
---
3️⃣ Charting and Verification at the Surveyor General’s Office
The land is charted to confirm it’s free from government acquisition.
If clear, the file proceeds for processing.
---
4️⃣ Pay the Statutory Fees
Consent fees (usually 1.5% of assessed property value)
Capital gains tax (10%)
Stamp duty (2%)
💡 These fees are often called the “hidden costs” of land transactions.
---
5️⃣ File Submission to Lands Bureau
Your lawyer submits all documents to the Lagos State Lands Bureau. The file moves through several stages:
* Verification
* Assessment
* Approval
* Signing by the Governor or delegated official
---
6️⃣ Collection of Governor’s Consent
Once approved, you’ll be issued the Governor’s Consent certificate, making your land transaction legally perfected.
---
🚨 Why It Matters
* Prevents multiple sales and fraud.
* Makes your land bankable—you can use it to obtain loans.
* Increases the resale value of your land.
---
✅ Example
At Tiara Estate Phase 1, all lands come with a valid C of O. But if you buy land from a private owner elsewhere, ensure you process Governor’s Consent to safeguard your investment.
---
🏡 Final Word
Skipping Governor’s Consent is like buying a car without proper registration—you’ll always be at risk.
If you’re serious about long-term wealth building in Lagos real estate, always perfect your title.
