HOW NIGERIANS IN DIASPORA CAN PROTECT THEIR PROPERTIES IN ABSENTIA By DENNIS ISONG

 

Property protection is a major important part of buying a property. If you don’t consider it, then, that’s a big problem.

Apart from the part property companies play, you also need to be actively involved.

 

HOW DO YOU PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY?

 

  1. As Nigerians in diaspora, you need to have all your documents done and ready to be presented should there be a need for them.

 

THESE DOCUMENTS ARE:

 

i.Deed of Assignment/ Deed of Transfer

 

This document shows the transfer of legal ownership of the property to the buyer subject, but, to perfection. This document is very important, the buyer needs to request it when buying a property from someone who previously bought it from another person.

 

Although the abstract of the title, the epitome of the title, and the payment receipt ought to have been different documents, they are all contained in the Deed of Assignment.

 

  1. Certificate of Occupancy

 

The Certificate of Occupancy is one of the most important land documents in Nigeria. It can be used to certify the legal ownership status of any land in Nigeria. It is the document that indicates that an individual has been granted a statutory right of occupancy by the Governor of the state or a customary right of occupancy by the Local Government Chairman, where the land is situated in a rural area. This document is also very important because the property in question is on land that was acquired through a state grant.

 

iii. Approved Survey Plan

 

Another important document to ask when buying land in Nigeria is the approved survey plan, because it marks and defines legal boundaries, helps reveal the true ownership status of a property, and also reveals if the land is under any government acquisition or committed area.

 

This document will become even more important when the house is bought along with the surrounding land.

 

  1. Duly Perfected Assent

 

The personal representatives divest themselves of the real estate of the deceased through assent. This is required where the house belongs to the estate of a deceased, in this situation, it becomes mandatory for the buyer to request a duly perfected assent from the personal representatives. He can even go further to verify if letters of administration/probate have been granted.

 

v.The Sale and Purchase Agreement

 

The Sale and Purchase Agreement contains a list of terms and conditions that are agreed to by both the buyer and the seller. An excellent example of this would be the negotiation for the price of the flat. The agreement would contain the agreed amount of the flat by both the buyer and the seller.

 

  1. The Building Approval Plan

 

Before the commencement of construction, the builder is required to get the necessary sanctions under the provisions of the Building By laws, Master Plan, and Local Body Acts. This sanction involves two factors:

  1. A) The Building Plan
  2. B) The Layout Approval

One mistake that first-time land or house buyers often make is not ensuring that the builder meets the terms and conditions of the Building Plan and Layout Approval before buying the house. Not meeting the terms and conditions could end up in negative results if the local authorities come in for spot checks, which are quite common in newer buildings.

 

vii. The Mother Deed

 

The Mother Deed is an important document that traces the ownership of the property. This document is generally required by banks when a buyer avails a loan against the property. An individual may approach the local authorities for help while creating this document.

 

 

  1. You must claim ownership

 

How does this work? If it’s land that you are not developing soon, you may need to fence it around, or, attach a signpost to it that bears your name by the name on the document.

 

 

  1. Consider the services of a property manager

 

Who is a property manager? A property manager is a more professional, well-read house agent. A property manager is in charge of your property. This works especially for Nigerians in diaspora. You could employ the services of a property manager to be in charge of your property till you are ready to come around.

 

 

If Nigerians in diaspora can follow these steps above, you don’t have to be scared that anyone could hijack their property.

Let’s reflect as we wrap-up 2024″By Prudent Ludidi

 

As we stand here today, we are on the threshold of a new year. A year full of possibilities, opportunities, and promise. But before we step into the unknown, let’s take a moment to reflect on 2024.

Let's reflect as we wrap-up 2024"By Prudent Ludidi

Look back on the triumphs and the struggles. The moments that made you proud and the moments that made you question yourself. Think about the goals you set and the ones you achieved.

Reflection is not about dwelling on the past; it’s about learning from it. It’s about identifying what worked and what didn’t. What you can improve on and what you can let go of.

As you reflect on the past year, remember that you are not the same person you were these couple of months ago. You’ve grown, you’ve learned, and you’ve evolved.

Don’t be too hard on yourself about the mistakes you made or the opportunities you missed. Instead, focus on the progress you’ve made and the strength you’ve gained.

Now, as we wrap up this year and prepare for the next, ask yourself:

What do I want to achieve in the coming year?

What habits do I want to form?

What relationships do I want to nurture?

What skills do I want to develop?

What dreams do I want to chase?

The upcoming year is a blank canvas, waiting for you to paint your masterpiece. Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back. You have the power to create the life you want.

So, as we near the close of this chapter and begin a new one, remember that every ending marks a new beginning. Every setback is an opportunity for growth. And every success is a stepping stone to greater things.

The initiative, which aims to promote social reintegration and support for the less fortunate, saw Chief Lawal extend a helping hand not only to the released inmates but also to elderly women in the area. The CEO personally distributed cash gifts and foodstuffs, emphasizing the importance of uplifting those in need and fostering a sense of belonging within the community. “We must remember that our strength lies in our ability to support one another,” Chief Lawal stated during the event. “This is just the beginning; I promise to extend this philosophical gesture to Nigerians regularly.”

The event drew a diverse crowd, including notable figures from various sectors.
