Nigerian land title types — what buyers look for
Displaying your title type clearly is one of the most effective ways to attract serious enquiries. Here is a guide to the main title types in Nigeria and what each means to a buyer.
Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
The gold standard Nigerian land title — a 99-year leasehold issued by the State Governor. Required for bank-financed purchases and the most marketable title in any sale.
Registered Deed of Assignment
A registered transfer of ownership from a previous holder. Acceptable for private sales but Governor's Consent should be perfected to complete the title chain.
Governor's Consent
Confirmation of ownership transfer by the State Governor. Required when a C of O property changes hands — without it, the transfer is technically incomplete.
Gazette / Gazette Excision
Government publication confirming formal excision of family or community land. Provides legal recognition but further steps are required to obtain full C of O.
FCDA Right of Occupancy (Abuja)
Federal Capital Development Authority title for Abuja plots — the FCT equivalent of a State C of O and the standard title for all Abuja land transactions.
Survey Plan only / Family Allocation
Lower-title documents requiring significant legal due diligence. A survey plan alone is not a title document. Family allocation letters require verification of the full ownership chain.

What to include in your land listing
Six details that land buyers look for before deciding whether to enquire — and that many sellers omit.
State the title type and registration status explicitly
The single most important detail in a Nigerian land listing is the title type — and buyers will not proceed without it. State clearly: C of O, registered deed of assignment, Governor's Consent status, gazette excision, or FCDA Right of Occupancy. If your C of O is in process at the Lands Bureau, say so and provide a timeline. If you have a family allocation letter only, disclose it — buyers who discover this after committing to a price feel deceived. Title transparency filters for the right buyers and builds trust.
State plot size in square metres — not just 'a plot'
'A plot' means different things in different parts of Nigeria — 648 sqm (18 × 36 m) for a standard Lagos plot, about 465 sqm (50 × 100 ft) in many private estates and other states, and over 1,000 sqm in some older allocations, while Abuja allocates land in square metres rather than plots. Always state the exact size in square metres confirmed against your survey plan. Also state the dimensions if they affect buildability (e.g., a long narrow plot vs a square plot). This information directly affects buyer valuation and avoids wasted viewings.
Upload your survey plan — even as a partial image
Land buyers in Nigeria respond to listings with survey plan images far more than listings with photos only. Even a clear photograph of the survey plan shows: (1) plot boundaries and beacons; (2) survey number and surveyor registration; (3) relationship to adjoining plots. This is the minimum documentation that demonstrates a real, surveyed, identifiable plot. Listings without any survey documentation receive significantly lower conversion from view to enquiry.
Describe access road and infrastructure clearly
Two plots 100m apart can have entirely different values if one has tarred road frontage and the other requires 4WD access on an unmaintained track. State: (1) road type (tarmac, laterite, or unmaintained); (2) nearest major road and distance; (3) electricity (whether poles/cables are present at the boundary); (4) drainage (is the plot within a flood-mapped area or on elevated ground). Infrastructure descriptions prevent buyer disappointment after viewing and produce better-qualified enquiries.
State your price per square metre alongside total price
Serious land buyers in Nigeria — especially developers and investors comparing multiple plots — evaluate land on a per-sqm basis. Stating both the total price and price per sqm (e.g., '900 sqm at ₦55,000/sqm — asking ₦49.5m total') immediately signals pricing transparency and accelerates comparison. Buyers who have to calculate price-per-sqm themselves are more likely to pass over a listing than buyers who can see it instantly.
Include a boundary photograph alongside the survey plan
One of the most common post-purchase disputes in Nigerian land transactions involves boundary encroachment — either the plot boundary differs from what the buyer expected, or an adjacent owner is encroaching. Including a photograph of each boundary beacon alongside your survey plan image demonstrates that the boundaries are defined, surveyable, and intact. Buyers comparing multiple plots will favour a listing with beacon photographs — it signals a clean, dispute-free plot and reduces the due-diligence burden on the buyer's solicitor.
