How Diaspora Buyers Can Invest in Nigerian Property Safely
Buying property in Nigeria from abroad is easier than ever, but distance makes due diligence even more important.
Work with professionals you appoint
Instruct your own lawyer in Nigeria to conduct title searches and review contracts. Avoid relying solely on relatives or agents for legal checks.
Insist on virtual inspections
Ask for live video tours of the site and completed projects, not just pre-recorded marketing videos.
Get regular progress updates
For off-plan purchases, agree how often you will receive photos, videos and written construction reports.
Use traceable payments
Pay only into the developer’s corporate account and keep records of every transfer.
