Case Studies
A Lagos-based buyer was about to complete payment for a plot of land in Lekki Phase 2. On the advice of a colleague, they submitted the GPS coordinates to LandCerta for a Quick Chart check before the final transfer. Our 6-hour investigation revealed that the land had been identified in the government acquisition database since 2019 and had been sold to three different buyers using a forged private deed.
The client saved ₦12 million. The matter was subsequently reported to the Lagos State Land Bureau.
A Nigerian engineer based in Toronto, Canada wanted to purchase family land in Ogun State as a retirement investment. Unable to visit Nigeria, she commissioned LandCerta's Physical Inspection and Title Verification services. Our team conducted a full on-site inspection, verified the family's agent identity and legal authority, photographed and documented the property, and delivered a report within 5 days confirming a clean title with no encumbrances.
She completed a ₦15 million purchase with full legal confidence — from Canada.
A real estate developer based in Lagos needed verification of 40 individual plots for a new estate project in Abuja before launch. Under a bespoke corporate arrangement, LandCerta assigned a dedicated team of NISV surveyors and delivered Deep Charting certificates with full Survey Plan Verification for all 40 parcels within 3 weeks.
This enabled the developer to launch sales with legally backed, certified documentation for every unit.
