Mannavill Ltd – Guiding you towards informed property ownership. Mannavilla Ltd makes buying property in Nigeria an exciting investment, instead of a financial nightmare! Every day, prospective property buyers worry about fake land titles, disputed ownership, fraudulent agents, multiple sales of the same property, and properties affected by government acquisition.
At Mannavilla Ltd, we believe that acquiring property should be a transparent, informed, and properly documented process.
That is why we guide our clients through the property acquisition journey, helping them understand what they are buying, what documents to verify, and what precautions to take before committing their hard-earned money.
It requires careful planning, proper market research, financial consideration, and an understanding of your long-term goals.
HERE IS OUR STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH.
STEP 1: WE UNDERSTAND YOUR PROPERTY NEEDS
Our first step is to understand your goals. Are you buying land to build your dream home, investing for future appreciation, developing a rental property, or acquiring property for commercial purposes?
We consider your budget, preferred location, intended use, and investment objectives to help you identify suitable options.
Our Goal: To help you make a property decision that aligns with your needs and financial capacity.
STEP 2: WE HELP YOU IDENTIFY A SUITABLE PROPERTY
Once we understand your requirements, we help you explore available properties that match your preferences.
We explain the property’s location, size, price, accessibility, surrounding developments, and potential uses.
We also encourage clients to look beyond attractive pictures and persuasive sales presentations by examining the actual property and its relevant documentation.
Our Goal: To help you know exactly what you are considering before making a commitment.
STEP 3: WE ENCOURAGE INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION OF PROPERTY DOCUMENTS
This is one of the most critical stages of property acquisition. Before purchasing land or a building, the buyer should engage an independent property lawyer to investigate the seller’s ownership and the property’s legal status.
Depending on the property, relevant documents may include:
Certificate of Occupancy (C of O).
Registered Deed of Assignment.
Governor’s Consent, where applicable.
Survey plan.
Excision and gazette documents, where relevant.
Other documents establishing the seller’s root of title.
The appropriate checks depend on the type of property, its ownership history, and the state where it is located.
A document should never be accepted as genuine simply because it looks official. The relevant government land registry and survey authorities should be consulted to verify the records.
Our Goal: To encourage informed decisions based on verifiable documents rather than verbal assurances.
STEP 4: WE ENCOURAGE A PROFESSIONAL LAND AND TITLE SEARCH
A property’s physical existence does not automatically establish that the seller has the right to sell it. Before completing a transaction, buyers should arrange the appropriate searches through a qualified property lawyer and licensed surveyor.
These checks can help establish:
Whether the seller has the legal authority to sell.
Whether the property corresponds with the survey plan.
Whether the land is affected by government acquisition.
Whether registered mortgages, encumbrances, or other interests exist.
Whether there are known ownership disputes or other legal concerns requiring investigation.
Where necessary, further searches and inquiries should be conducted to investigate potential litigation, family ownership claims, or competing interests.
Our Goal: To help clients identify potential problems before they become costly mistakes.
STEP 5: WE ARRANGE PROPERTY INSPECTION
We encourage clients to inspect the actual property before completing their purchase.
During the inspection, buyers should confirm the property’s location, accessibility, physical condition, boundaries, and suitability for their intended purpose.
For land purchases, a licensed surveyor can help identify the boundaries and compare the site with the relevant survey documentation. Where appropriate, additional inquiries can be made about access roads, drainage, electricity, water supply, and nearby developments.
Our Goal: To help clients understand the physical property they intend to acquire, not just what they see in advertisements.
STEP 6: WE EXPLAIN THE PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS
Before payment, clients should understand the full financial commitment involved. We explain the agreed purchase price, applicable payment arrangements, and any additional costs that have been disclosed and agreed upon.
Where flexible payment plans are available, the terms should clearly state:
The initial deposit.
The instalment amounts and payment dates.
The period allowed for completing payment.
The consequences of late payment or default.
The conditions for cancellation or refunds.
When possession and transfer documentation will be provided.
All material terms should be documented in an appropriate written agreement.
Our Goal: To help clients avoid hidden costs, payment misunderstandings, and unrealistic financial commitments.
STEP 7: WE ENCOURAGE SECURE AND TRACEABLE PAYMENTS
Property payments should be made only after the necessary due diligence and contractual arrangements have been completed to the appropriate stage. Clients should confirm the identity and authority of the recipient, use an agreed and documented payment channel, and retain all payment evidence.
Buyers should be cautious about pressure to transfer money urgently into an unrelated personal account or to make payments without proper documentation.
Every payment should be supported by appropriate acknowledgment and records.
Our Goal: To promote financial transparency and reduce the risk of payment-related fraud.
STEP 8: WE ENCOURAGE PROPER DOCUMENTATION OF THE TRANSACTION
A property transaction should not end with a verbal promise or payment receipt. The appropriate contract and transfer documents should be prepared or reviewed by a qualified property lawyer.
Depending on the transaction, these may include a contract of sale, Deed of Assignment, or other relevant conveyancing documents. The documents should accurately identify the property, the parties, the agreed terms, and the rights being transferred.
Buyers should also understand the steps required to obtain any applicable consent, pay relevant duties, and register or perfect their title.
Our Goal: To help clients establish a clear documentary record of their acquisition and understand their responsibilities after purchase.
STEP 9: WE GUIDE CLIENTS ON POST-PURCHASE RESPONSIBILITIES
Acquiring property is an important milestone, but proper documentation and record-keeping remain essential. After the transaction, buyers should retain their signed agreements, payment receipts, transfer documents, survey plans, and other relevant records.
They should also follow up on applicable title registration and perfection requirements.
Where appropriate, clients should arrange proper boundary identification, secure their property, and retain copies of all relevant correspondence.
Our Goal: To help clients protect their investment beyond the day of purchase.
