How to Get Professional Survey Plan Consultation for Free in Ibadan
If you are looking at to buy land or property in Ibadan, here is good news: you can get a professional survey plan consultation without paying anything first. Far too many buyers and landowners make expensive mistakes because they do not know where to get the right help. This page explains how to claim a free consultation in Ibadan, what documents to bring, what questions are worth asking, and how Taiwo Salam & Co. Properties Ltd is helping people across Oyo State today.
What Is a Survey Plan Consultation?
A survey plan consultation is a short, expert check of your land papers and survey plan. A licensed surveyor looks for problems, warns you about risks, and tells you the best next step.
It is a lot like seeing a doctor before surgery. You want someone trained to look at the details before you spend a lot of money. That is what this consultation does for your land purchase.
📐 What Is a Survey Plan? (Quick Refresher)
A survey plan is an official technical drawing prepared by a licensed surveyor that shows:
- The exact location of your land using coordinates and beacon numbers
- The shape, size (in square metres or acres/hectares), and boundaries of the land
- Neighbouring properties and roads surrounding the land
- The surveyor’s stamp, signature, and license number
- Date of survey and approval by the Surveyor General’s office
Without a valid, authenticated survey plan, your land ownership is legally incomplete — regardless of how much you paid.
Why Most People in Ibadan Skip Survey Consultation (And Pay Dearly)
Most people in Ibadan skip survey consultation because they think it will be expensive or too complicated. That is often the wrong call. Here is what can happen when you do not get a professional opinion first:
⚠️ Real Consequences of Skipping Survey Plan Consultation
- Buying encroached land: You discover after payment that 30% of “your” land actually belongs to a neighbour
- Forged survey plans: The plan you were shown was forged — the property doesn’t exist at the stated coordinates
- Expired survey plans: Plans older than 10 years may no longer reflect actual boundary conditions
- Wrong size: You paid for 1,000sqm but the survey shows only 650sqm
- Double-surveyed land: Another person’s survey plan covers the same land
- Unlicensed surveyors: Survey done by someone not registered with SURCON (Surveyors Council of Nigeria)
- Government acquisition: Land sits inside a government acquisition zone not visible to the untrained eye
A free 30-minute consultation can reveal ALL of these issues before you spend a single naira on the property.

What to Ask During Your Free Survey Consultation
Come prepared to make the most of your free session. Here are the most important questions to ask your consulting surveyor at Taiwo Salam & Co.Properties Ltd
Ask them to check for SURCON registration and Surveyor General approval markings.
Unlicensed surveyors produce plans that are legally invalid.
Fraudsters often use invented beacon numbers on fake survey plans.
A professional can calculate actual square meterage from survey coordinates.
Survey coordinates should correspond with the physical location you inspected.
An experienced surveyor familiar with Ibadan/Oyo State areas can flag known government acquisition zones.
Survey plans older than 10 years may need to be updated before a C of O application is accepted.
Always ask for a clear Low / Medium / High risk assessment before you leave the consultation.
Red Flags a Professional Surveyor Will Catch That You’ll Miss
The naked eye cannot detect most survey plan problems. Here are specific issues that only a trained professional with experience in Ibadan’s land market can identify:
1. Inconsistent Font or Printing in Survey Documents
Professional surveyors can spot when different sections of a document were printed at different times a classic sign of document tampering. The coordinates, beacon numbers, or surveyor’s details may have been altered.
2. Coordinates That Don’t Match the Area
Every part of Ibadan has expected coordinate ranges. A surveyor familiar with Oyo State geography will instantly know if the stated coordinates on your plan don’t correspond with the area you’re buying in a sign of a fabricated survey.
3. Missing or Invalid SURCON Registration Number
Every licensed surveyor in Nigeria has a SURCON (Surveyors Council of Nigeria) registration number that must appear on survey plans. A missing, incorrect, or duplicated number is a serious red flag that an untrained buyer will never notice.
4. Survey Plans Without Surveyor General’s Stamp
Survey plans are only legally valid when certified by the Oyo State Surveyor General’s office. Many fake plans omit this stamp or use a counterfeit version something only a trained eye recognises.
5. Overlapping or Conflicting Boundaries
An experienced Ibadan surveyor knows the areas where boundary overlaps are common. They can flag land in contested zones even before a formal search, saving you time and money.
6. Plans With Suspiciously Round Land Measurements
Real survey measurements are precise for example, 985.7 sqm, not exactly 1,000 sqm. Perfect round numbers in survey plans are sometimes a sign the plan was fabricated by someone who doesn’t understand surveying practice.
💡 The 10-Year Rule Does Your Survey Plan Still Qualify?
In Oyo State (and most Nigerian states), the Ministry of Lands generally requires that survey plans submitted for C of O applications be no older than 10 years. If your survey plan was prepared before 2015, there’s a good chance you’ll need to commission a fresh survey before proceeding with any government title registration.
During your free consultation, the team at Taiwo Salam & Co. will confirm whether your existing plan meets current requirements potentially saving you from a rejection at the Ministry of Lands.
