πŸ’° The True Cost of Buying Land in Lagos (Hidden Fees and All)

Many first-time land investors in Lagos believe the cost of land is just the purchase price but that’s only the beginning.

If you don’t plan ahead for hidden fees, you may face unexpected expenses that affect your investment returns.

---

πŸ”‘ 1. Land Purchase Price

This is the advertised cost of the plot itself. Prices vary by location, title, and estate development.
πŸ“Œ Example: A 500sqm in Ibeju-Lekki may sell for ₦25M–₦40M depending on the title (C of O, Gazette, Excision).

---

πŸ”‘ 2. Documentation Fees

Survey Plan (₦200k–₦500k depending on location).
Deed of Assignment (₦150k–₦500k).
Land Registry Fees for official registration.

---

πŸ”‘ 3. Governor’s Consent / Title Perfection

If you’re buying from an existing owner with C of O, you’ll need Governor’s Consent to secure legal ownership.
πŸ“Œ Budget: 5%–10% of land value.

---

πŸ”‘ 4. Development Levy

Some estates charge infrastructure fees to cover roads, drainage, electricity, and security.
πŸ“Œ Example: ₦1M–₦5M depending on estate size and facilities.

---

πŸ”‘ 5. Survey Demarcation & Beacon Fees

Surveyors may charge to place beacons and mark boundaries.
πŸ“Œ Average: ₦100k–₦250k.

---

πŸ”‘ 6. Agency & Legal Fees

If you’re buying through an agent or consultant, expect 5%–10% agency commission.
Always budget for a real estate lawyer to review documents.

---

πŸ“Œ The Bottom Line

When buying land in Lagos, always budget an extra 10%–20% of the purchase price for hidden fees.
This ensures you are not caught off guard and that your land remains secure, documented, and valuable.
