STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE BUYING A LAND IN LAGOS

There are basic steps you ought to take when you've finally decided to buy a land in Lagos, to reduce stress you must ask basic questions and take these steps.

(1)Consult your agent and tell him exactly what you want and how you’ll like to have it, if you have a good agent he will most likely get a property close to what you want faster than you might think is possible, this will save you stress, but give him the instruction that you won’t want a land under government acquisition, this will make him to work harder and search for the right one.

(2) You can also do your research too from family members, friends and online especially through an online forum like nairaland.com property section, there are lots of professionals on that forum that that are ready to treat your questions for free at the speed of light.

(3)After you must have been introduced to a land, the first step is to go for site inspection. Considering many reasons at the back of your mind to make you decide if to buy the land or not.

Issues like-

‘i’ Nearness to your office or business.

‘ii’ Will you be able to match the financial task required if the soil is waterlogged and needs filling, and if you are going for a storey building can you afford the type of foundation that will be recommended.

‘iii’ The commercial value of the land in nearest future

‘iv’ Nearness to high tension cable (wires).You know it is required you leave out at least 60m from the high tension cables.

‘v’ how close is the site to Fuel or petroleum pipeline.

‘vi’ Nearness to major roads, if your site is too close, and the road is expanded in the future, it may affect your property.

‘vii’ Check the level of the ground to the surrounding environment, I mean the topography, is your site at the lowest level to the neighbouring sites, its likely that runoff water will converge in your site when is raining and no adequate planning for drainage system like Lagos.

(4)If you are okay with the land after having met most of these requirements above. Get your land surveyor to accompany you to the site with his instruments (compass) and don’t worry he is not going to charge you for going to the site with him,just promise to give him the survey job and that will settle it.

So why the Land surveyor?

He has the instruments/compass that he will use to know the coordinates (direction located in map)of where the land falls into and he has his colleagues at the surveyor general’s office in Alausa Ikeja who he can easily call right on your site to furnish him with the condition of

your proposed site. with this you can know if the land falls under government acquisitions or not.

If there is a survey for the plot before, then do the photocopy and check by yourself at the surveyor general’s office Alausa, those guys there may eventually do it free for you at most you only need to pay N2,000.

(5) Note that you’ve not paid money to accomplish the steps above. If the site meets the right conditions, then get your Lawyer, he is to help you ensure the paperworks are properly done. Omo onile fears lawyers so having one is very important apart from other benefits you’ll get from him. He will make sure genuine papers are gotten for your property and he is there to defend you, Omo Onile won’t prey on you if you have a bold lawyer.

Certificate of Occupancy, Deed of assignment,Governor’s consent, e.t.c whatever you are required to have it is better to have someone taking off the stress from you.

(6)Make sure you collect the genuine receipt from Omo Onile after paying for your property fully.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE REGULARISATION OF TITLE TO LAND IN LAGOS STATE

WHAT IS LAND REGULARISATION
Land regularization is generally understood as the process of public intervention in illegally occupied zones to provide urban infrastructure improvements and to recognize ownership titles or other occupancy rights. Regularization policies are needed in many developing countries to reverse irregular and sometimes illegal development patterns, such as when land is occupied and housing is built before infrastructure improvements and legal documentation are put in place


1. PREAMBLE
In 1980, during the first Civilian Administration in Lagos State, an inventory of illegal development within Government acquired land (by Acquisition/Relocation Orders) was undertaken and about five thousand buildings were identified. This huge figure informed the Land Policy Administration which approved that all such illegal development which were not blocking roads, drainage and not within committed arrears should be granted Building Plan approval after the payment of =N=1,000.00 (One Thousand Naira only) penal fee among other Statutory Processing Fees. Only twenty per cent of the affected buildings benefited from this Policy before the Military took over Government in 1984/85. In 1985, the need to accommodate the squatters increased as the acquired land became easily accessible to the low-income group for shelter. This brought about a review of the land Policy on developments within Government Acquisition. The Review gave birth to the process of Ratification and Regularization of land holdings within non-committed Government Acquisition.

In essence, Regularisation (previously referred to as Ratification) is a policy of grace and is the processes whereby squatters on uncommitted Government Land are given an opportunity to obtain legal title to the land encroached upon from the State Government. It is the process of allocating Government land to someone who had previously occupied landed property without lawful authority from the State Government. Regularisation is subject to two (2) basic conditions
(i) That the property must not be situated in a Government Scheme, Estate or Committed Area.

(ii) The property must be situated within an area that conforms with Urban and Regional Planning regulations and standard of the State.

Initially, the Regularisation exercise was based on conformity of properties with prepared Schemes/Layout Plans for some of the Ratification Areas. Thereafter, Property Regularisation was extended to areas without Development Schemes/Layout Plans hence, the emergence of unplanned developments. Besides, the process became more cumbersome due to inputs of various agencies required in the determination of applications as well as lack of equipment, Satellite imageries, developmental maps and schemes for the areas. The new policy on Regularisation of title to land will enhance the development of properly planned Neighbourhoods within Regularisation areas and thereby discourage development of future blighted areas.

2. AIMS OF THE REGULARISATION EXERCISE
• To simplify and accelerate the process of Regularisation of land titles (by the grant of a Certificate of Occupancy) in circumstances where Government land has been encroached upon.
• To process and accelerate the grant of building plan approval for properties falling within Government acquisition.
3. OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE OF THE REGULARISATION EXERCISE 
A specific directorate has been created for the regularization exercise. The new directorate is called The Directorate of Land Regularisation and is under the Ministry of Lands. It is designed to operate as a “one-stop shop” for Regularisation of Title. The Directorate of Land Regularisation (hereinafter referred to as DLR) is charged with the responsibility of processing applications for the Regularisation of title to land by the grant of a Certificate of Occupancy in exceptional circumstances as regards land falling within Government Acquisition. The DLR is also charged with the responsibility of processing applications for the grant of building plan approval under the same circumstances as above (i.e. circumstances where structures/buildings have been erected on land falling within Government Acquisition). It should be noted that the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development is still the Government body responsible for the processing and grant of normal building plan approval.

4. THE PROCEDURE FOR REGULARISATION OF TITLE 
Stage One. Applicant submits application for Regularisation to the DLR for processing.
Stage Two. The DLR will chart the survey plan and thereafter carry out site inspection of the land.
Stage Three. If the report of the site inspection is approved, the DLR processes the file further by raising a Demand Notice for payment for land charges.
Stage Four. Upon payment of land charges by the applicant (evidenced by treasury receipt) the DLR prepares the letter of allocation (including C of O) and forwards the letter of allocation to the Executive Secretary Land Use and Allocation Directorate for endorsement. Letter of allocation is thereafter released to the applicant.
Stage Five. The applicant’s file containing the Certificate of Occupancy is sent through the Permanent Secretary to the Hon. Commissioner for Lands for execution.
Stage Six. Upon execution of the C of O by the Hon. Commissioner for Lands, the C of O is processd for Stamp Duty and Registration and released to the applicant by the Hon. Commissioner for Lands.

The policy of the Directorate is that applicants will receive their Certificate of Occupancy within 30 working days from the date the Directorate receives evidence of payment of land charges.


5. AGENCIES INVOLVED IN REGULARISATION

The following are the government agencies that may need to be consulted:

Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development
If the proposed Land Use does not conform with the zoning the applicant is advised to apply for Charge of Use from the Physical Planning Department.

Lagos State Urban Renewal Authority
All applications within blighted areas or LASURA Scheme are referred for clearance so that the service plots could be preserved. One of the cardinal objectives of the Authority is the identification of slum areas and preparation of scheme on same.

Surveyor-General’s Office
Land Information Certificate is issued by the State S.G’s Office and at times applications are referred again for more details.

Land Use and Allocation Directorate
Regularisation of title is basically an indirect allocation of land. As regards Regularisation, it is the responsibility of the LUAD to issue letters of allocation.

Ministry of Environment

All applications close to or within drainage alignment, wetland, and flood plain swamps are referred to the Drainage Office for clearance as necessary.



6. DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR REGULARISATION 

(a) A covering letter by the agent or person filing the application for regularisation must accompany the application. This covering letter must contain the following contact details: address, telephone numbers, mobile phone numbers and where possible an e-mail address.
(b) A duly completed application made on (Land Regularisation Form 1) obtainable from the Lands Bureau. Alternatively, the Form will shortly be available by down loading same from the Lagos State Government web site at www.lagosstate.gov.ng. The Form must be dated and signed by the applicant and sworn to before a magistrate or notary public
(c) Four passport sized photographs of the applicant
(d) Land Information Certificate
(e) Photocopy of Purchase Receipt duly stamped
(f) Current Special Development Levy
(g) Tax Clearance Certificate or Electronic Tax Clearance Certificate
(h) Sketch Map of Site Location
(i) Original Survey Plan

(j) Where building plan approval is required, the additional requirements are as follows:

• 5 Sets of Architectural Drawings
• 5 Sets of Structural Drawings
• Clearance Letter in lieu of Title Documents
• Sunprint Copy Of Survey Plan
• Coren Letter of Supervision
• Calculation Sheet
• Sworn Affidavit in Lieu of Tenement Rate
• EIA report if land Title to be granted is commercial (2Copies)
• Payment of processing fee for building plan approval
• Photograph of property



7. FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED PRIOR TO GRANTING APPROVAL FOR REGULARISATION.

It must be noted that only applications that meet specific criteria will be approved for Regularisation. Thus applications that fall foul of certain basic requirements will not be approved for Regularisation. Some of the basic requirements include (but are not limited to) the following:
• The appropriate Set-back must be observed.
• The appropriate distances from drainge systems, canals, NNPC pipeline, Gas pipelines, PHCL transformers, high tension wires, electricity and telephone poles, water pipelines, etc as laid down by Physical Planning and Town Planning laws must be observed.
• The beacons on the survey plan must conform with what is on the subject site.
• The subject site must not fall on road alignment.
• The subject site must not fall within forest reserve.
• The subject site must not fall within a committed government area.
• The subject site must fall within the permitted Regularisation areas

Caveat: Acceptance of applications for Regularisation is at the request of the applicant and does not in any way indicate that the application will be approved for Regularisation

DANGOTE REFINERY SET TO BEGIN PRODUCTION IN 2018

AN oil refinery, being promoted by Dangote Group, is expected to come on-stream latest by the first half of 2018, in Lagos.

 The plant will be able to process 500,000 barrels of crude a day, according to Dangote Industries’ operations director for petroleum refining, George Nicolaides, in an interview at the Platts African Refining Summit in Cape Town Monday.

“The site is being cleared, the plant is being designed,” Nicolaides said, adding that the organization is “close to the beginning of detailed engineering.”

  In September last year, Dangote said it had agreed on a $3.3 billion loan with 12 Nigerian and foreign lenders to build the refinery as well as a petrochemical and fertilizer complex costing a total of $9 billion. 

 At that time, the facility in Africa’s biggest economy was expected to be completed in 2016 and the initial capacity of the refinery was put at 400,000 barrels a day.

  “We have a very ambitious construction schedule,” Nicolaides said. “I’m not sure about the history of those dates.”

  While Nigeria is Africa’s top producer of crude oil, it relies on fuel imports to meet more than 70 percent of its needs. Four state refineries with a combined capacity of 445,000 barrels a day are operating at a fraction of that because of poor maintenance and aging equipment.

  Dangote selected Engineers India Ltd. to do most of the detailed engineering work for the new plant. Construction contractors were yet to be appointed.

  “Supplying the local market is the primary objective,” Nicolaides said. “Naturally we can move product to the region. The government is being very supportive, very enthusiastic about this project. We are not looking for or wanting any particular subsidies.

HOW TO AVOID LEGAL TROUBLES WHILE SELLING YOUR LAND

Some decades ago, people had their own ways of selling lands. However, at present the process of land selling has undergone a drastic change. The world we are living in is ruled by law. Today, most of the counties operate through the rules of democracy. In such a democratic setting, there are some laws that govern various facets of life. In fact, even while selling a piece of land or any other property, there are certain constitutional ways to go about it. If you own a land and wish to sell it, here is how you can avoid legal troubles, while making the deal.

* Be ready with the land documents - While selling a land, it is important for the seller to be ready with all documents, related to the land. For instance, you may need to present the official document of occupancy in front of the buyer. This certificate would be a proof that you legally own the land. Once you finalize the deal with a potential buyer, you would have to transfer this document to him/her. If you fail to show this evidence to the prospective buyers of your land, no one would even think of purchasing it.

* Need for reliable witnesses - Selling a land is harder than selling other types of properties. If sold in an illegal manner, it can cause some serious fracas. Thus, you would need to engage some reliable witnesses in the whole process, to be able to successfully sell your land. And the most important witness from your side would be a credible lawyer, who would prepare the sales documentation for your land. Generally, there is a pact or agreement between the buyer and the seller. Such a contract should be shrewdly written, typed, as well as, documented. The pact should have a clear space for both the buyer and seller to sign.

* Register with the estate agents - Registering with the estate agents can be a major strategy for the seller. These professionals can assist you in selling the land speedily and at the best price. Selling a land without professional support can be quite challenging. And failing to cope up with these challenges can make your land stay in the market for too long, thereby leaving you totally frustrated and stressed. Thus, it is advisable to seek the services of estate agents and enjoy a quick and easy sale. However, you have to be extremely cautious while hiring these agents, as there are many dupes and rogues out there. These fraud agents are always in search of innocent sellers to pull the wool over their eyes and make a profit.

By taking into account all the factors mentioned above, you would surely be able to have a smooth transaction. To make the most of the deal, it is advisable not to rush into it. Instead, think twice before making any decision and see to it that you are doing everything legally.

Best Properties to Invest in.....

There are many properties in Nigeria and around the world that are worth a financial and personal investment. Real estate is a fickle field, much like the stock market- properties are valued and devalued based on a variety of factors that are constantly changing. So, while it might be challenging to break into the real estate market and find a viable piece of property to invest in, there are chances to do just that all around the globe.

There are a few qualities many valuable properties have that make them a good investment. Popular properties can be located near to downtown urban centers, providing an easy commute to jobs and other perks like grocery stores, shopping malls and entertainment venues; other properties can be valuable for their quiet, rural nature, like old farmhouses with lots of property surrounding them.

To make a good investment on a property it has to be valuable to you in some way. If you are looking to buy and 'flip' a home to sell it to someone else location is very important- pick a location where there are a lot of people who want to live there. If you are ready to retire and want to live in this home for the rest of your life, pick a place that appeals to you the most.

Amenities and infrastructure in and out of the home draws buyers and increase the value of the home

Additionally there should be no structural damage or aesthetic problems when it comes to a home that is a good financial investment. Check for any roofing damage and foundational damage- not only can either of these problems wreck the sale value of a home, but they can lead to a lot of financial sacrifices.

Depending on your location a pool can also be a very valuable investment. Jacuzzi, especially in cold climates, are definitely a perk! Having a pool in a tropical or desert location where temperatures are very hot or warm will not only be a great relaxing space, but increases the value of a home greatly. While a worn out pool can be a financial drain, pools do add value to homes overall and are a good financial and personal investment for people in warmer climates.

Other properties that are worth investing in have great locations; for instance, a home located within walking distance of a beach, ski resort, or any other regional specialty will give the owners instant access to freedom and relaxation in the great outdoors. Location is everything when it comes to making a good financial investment on a home- no one wants to pay a million dollars to live in the suburbs

Why are you Afraid of Investing?

We all know that real estate investing is a great way to take control of your life. With "downsizings", "rightsizings", "off shoring" and layoffs at an all time high, job security is simply a thing of the past.

Current Statistics in Nigeria shows that millions of people lost their jobs in mass layoffs last year, and the same is expected this year. So why don't more people actually embark to take control of their life? One common answer is a four-letter word, F-E-A-R. Fear is one of the biggest success killers there is. It not only stops people from becoming successful, it stops many people from even trying!

According to dictionary.com there are four definitions:
"A feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger, a state or condition marked by this feeling: living in fear".

"A feeling of disquiet or apprehension: a fear of looking foolish".

"Extreme reverence or awe, as toward a supreme power".

"A reason for dread or apprehension: Being alone is my greatest fear".
Let's look at fear from a business prospective. The first definition really does not apply. There is no real imminent danger in real estate investing, and it's certainly not life threatening. The last three definitions are where we usually run into problems getting starting.

Fear is really about unfamiliarity and apprehension. Fear is a real emotion, but you can conquer it. If you really think about it we've been doing so our entire lives. Didn't you once have apprehension about riding a bike, or going on a roller coaster, or learning to drive? Yet most of us were able to overcome these fears. I know these are basic fears, but moving forward to take control of your life really is no different....

Impact Of Infrastructure Development On Property Values in Nigeria

As a buyer, seller, or investor in today's real estate market, there's one thing that you need to understand. The market price of the property that you are trying to buy, sell, or invest in, does not solely depend on location and size. The infrastructure that comes along with the property in question also plays a substantial part in determining its value in the market. Factors like accessibility, the surrounding neighborhood, security, and infrastructure (social and civic) are some of the things that hold weight when determining the value of property.

What Is Infrastructure?

When one talks about the infrastructure of a particular property, that would include things like availability of proper water and electricity, an access road, a garage, a properly fitted kitchen and bathroom, efficient waste disposal facility, proper drainage system, security, and anti-theft measures. Since the factors stated above can have a huge impact on raising or lowering the owner's standard of living and that of the general area, they must be taken into serious consideration while appraising the value of any property.

The facilities stated above can be categorized into two: external, and internal infrastructure. Studies show that these two categories combined, affect about 31% of a property's determined value, apart from the economic infrastructure, which affects a major portion of the end value. So one can be pretty sure that the unavailability of such infrastructure can reduce the property's value to a considerable extent.

Its Effect On Property Rates:

Real estate has no value if it has no utility. A piece of land holds importance so long as it sustains man's needs.

1. Good infrastructure leads to a better quality of life in the area, which positively affects the property rates.An example of this is the Lekki Free trade zone,the airport and deep sea port being developed in Ibeju Lekki and Eleko Lagos

2. It also increases the multi-factor productivity (The effects on output value not directly caused by the input), and that again has an effect on the property value.

3. The level of infrastructure in and around the property like malls, complexes, and schools, also cause an increase in the said property rate, as they raise the standard of living in the vicinity.

4. The availability of good transport infrastructure is also a key factor in determining a property's market value.

Thus, in conclusion, one can clearly see that all the above studies and observations point to the fact that any piece of property, be it a piece of vacant land or a mansion, will have considerably reduced market value if it fails to come with the required basic internal and external infrastructure mentioned above

Do Not Wait to Buy Land...Buy Land and Wait

Retirement investing simply means investing with the goal of being self-sufficient during your retirement days.
It means investing with the sole purpose of having your investment generate income that will pay the bills when you retire.

 Some people call this investing for income.
The sad part is that a lot of people are not concerned about retirement.

They have a good job, live in a good house, drive a great car, and believe life will continue like this forever.
Consequently, they do not make investing for retirement a priority.

Here's the truth . . . life is never the same. Things change, life moves on whether you want it to or not.

What does this all mean?

It means that someday you will retire from paid employment . . . voluntarily or compulsorily . . . and whether you like it or not. And that retirement
may be early retirement or late retirement.

What happens after you retire?


If investing for retirement was a key component of your expense sheet, if retirement investing was uppermost in your mind during your working life,
you will have investments that generate consistent income month after month, year after year.
If that is the case, your standard of living will not drop drastically because you are retired.

Your kids will not drop out of school because you are retired
Your landlord will not chase you out of your home because you don't have enough money to pay your rent and
Your life will not become terribly horrible and unbearable because you no longer work for that high paying blue chip company you use to work for.

If you are in paid employment, this is the time to set aside money to invest in stuff that will pay the bills after you retire. If you haven't yet taken
this seriously, this is the time to start.

Real estate investing presents a good opportunity for retirement investing because property values are constantly on the rise.

For instance, if you invest in a developing area with bad roads, prices will jump when government fix the roads and the area becomes more accessible to the outside world.

Thinking of investing for retireThink real estate investing. Add real estate investing to your portfolio of investments.ment?

Of course when you start out with Nigeria real estate investing, you will be a newbie. That is why I created the beginners guide to investing . . . the portal that provides step by step guide to successful and profitable Nigeria real estate investing.

Bottom line.

Do not think that your retirement is a long time away. Start investing for retirement immediately you secure a job. If you are already in paid employment, start retirement investing right away.

Are you a business person?

Great.

Take retirement investing seriously. Invest big time in Nigeria real estate because business has its ups and downs . . . business may not always be juicy. When tough times come, your investment will come to your rescue.

Another thing.

A robust investment strategy will ensure that those tough times do not hit you in the first place.

Bottom line.

Start real estate investing right now, if you are not already passionate about it.

If retirement investing is already something you're keen about, ensure you add real estate investing to your investment portfolio.

I wish you a happy and exciting retirement.

THE FREE TRADE ZONE AND ITS BENEFITS.........INVEST NOW

The Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ) is located on the Lekki Peninsula bordered on the South by the Atlantic Ocean. It is a new city under development situated within one of the fastest developing urban areas in Nigeria with an annual economic growth rate of 16.8%. In order to ensure easy access of goods from the zone to the regional and international markets, the State Government is planning to establish an airport around the zone and is working closely with the Federal Government to establish a deep sea port.


The project aims to track the industrialization strategy of the State with a new export free zone providing ample fiscal incentives among other unique benefits.  It is on about 16,500 hectares (Ha) of land with four quadrants, of which the SW quadrant is on 3,000 Ha being developed in collaboration with our Chinese partners and has since opened for business.

The zone encompasses hubs for Oil & Gas and Logistics, Light and Medium scale Industries, Hospitality and Resort, Engineering and Infrastructure Support Services, Commerce, Retail and Real Estate, as well as Information and Communication Technology.

Further more,the recent entry Dangote Group into the Lekki Free Trade Zone to set up a petroleum refinery complex and fertilizer plant will boost investment and engender industrial development of the zone, Lagos State government has said.

The Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Mrs. Olusola Oworu, who disclosed this yesterday at a press briefing in Lagos, said Lekki Free Trade Zone project is now a reality as its expected benefits have started trickling in, particularly with the mobilization to site of key players in the oil and gas sector.

Giving details of latest development taking place at the about 16,500 hectares of land on the tip of the Lekki Peninsula to the south-east of Lagos State, the commissioner noted that the project remained the flagship of the state government’s industrial development initiatives conceptualized to provide an enabling environment for industries to thrive, attract both local and foreign direct investments into the state and create jobs for the teeming population.



The commissioner said: “Owing to the vastness of the land area and the attendant huge cost of infrastructure provision therein, the zone was divided into four quadrants for ease of development. Presently the state government is in a development partnership with a Chinese Consortium for the development of 3,000 hectares in the southwest quadrant zone, the start-up area.

“The joint venture arrangement has so far resulted in the development of 72km paved roads, 150 solar -powered streetlights, three standard factories, three units of VIP chalets and a telecommunications base among st other infrastructural facilities.”

She stressed that as part of the infrastructural development plan of the zone, an Independent Power Project (IPP), gas fired power project capable of generating 24 hours of power in the south-west quadrant part of the area has been initiated, adding that it would be completed before the end of the year.

The planned petroleum refinery complex will be producing 400,000 barrels per day and the fertilizer plant is envisaged to create 20,000 jobs during the construction period and about 8,000 engineers will be required in the course of operation of the plants.
