🏡 A Practical Guide for Safe & Secure Real Estate Investment in Oyo State
🔍 Why This Matters
Ibadan remains one of Nigeria’s most promising cities for real estate investment — from residential plots to estates, commercial properties, and agricultural land.
But with opportunity comes risk. In recent years, many investors have fallen victim to:
- Omo Onile (unauthorized family agents) extorting money
- Land grabbers using force or deception
- Fake land sales and disputed ownership
This guide outlines how to safely purchase property in Ibadan without getting entangled in these problems.
✅ Step-by-Step Process to Buy Land Safely in Ibadan
1. Use a Registered Property Agency
Avoid dealing with random agents or “area boys.” Work with a certified real estate firm like Taiwo Salam & Co. Properties Ltd, registered with:
- Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC)
- Oyo State Ministry of Lands
- Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors & Valuers (NIESV)
A professional firm conducts due diligence, handles verification, and protects your interest from day one.
2. Conduct Independent Land Search
Before paying for any land:
- Check Land Ownership History
- Confirm land isn’t under Government Acquisition
- Verify title documents, survey coordinates, and excision status
We help file an official Land Information Certificate Search at the Oyo State Lands Registry.
3. Physically Inspect the Property
Visit the land and:
- Confirm boundary beacons
- Interview local residents, other land owner, traditional ruler or Baales
- Confirm no pending litigation or multiple claimants
A registered licensed surveyor should accompany you to inspect coordinates and boundaries.
4. Request Genuine Documentation
Before payment, ensure the seller has:
- Registered Survey Plan
- Deed of Assignment or C of O
- Family Agreement (if it’s a customary land)
- Land Information Certificate
- Receipt and Identity Verification
Taiwo Salam & Co. validates every document and helps prepare legally binding contracts.
5. Sign Legal Contracts & Register the Sale
Never buy land based on verbal promises.
- Draft and sign a Deed of Assignment with legal witnesses
- Process the Governor’s Consent (if resale)
- Register at the Oyo State Lands Registry to secure your interest
- Ensure stamp duty and registration fees are properly filed
🛡️ How to Avoid Omo Onile & Land Grabbers
- Don’t pay for any stage of construction to local touts (foundation, lintel, roofing fees)
- Report harassment immediately to the Oyo State Task Force on Land Grabbing
- Never build without proper documentation (survey + C of O + building approval)
- Place clear signage and security on your land once acquired
