Frequently Asked Questions About Property in Nigeria

Browse our available listings, identify the property reference, and contact our team to arrange a viewing. Before committing money, obtain an independent legal title investigation, confirm the seller's authority and agree on documented transaction terms. A listing's verification badge is not a substitute for legal due diligence.

No. Our verification process records the checks performed and their scope; it is not a guarantee of ownership, freedom from encumbrances or suitability for a buyer. The appropriate land-registry, survey, planning and legal checks must still be completed for each transaction.

Depending on the property, request the root-of-title documents, survey plan, seller's identification and authority to sell, relevant deeds, evidence of consent or registration where applicable, and planning approvals for developed properties. A qualified legal adviser should assess the documents and conduct official searches.

A Certificate of Occupancy generally evidences a recognised right of occupancy. Governor's Consent relates to the consent required for certain subsequent transactions involving rights of occupancy under applicable law. Their relevance depends on the property's title history and transaction; neither alone replaces comprehensive due diligence.

Yes, but verify the developer's legal identity, land ownership or development rights, building approvals, agreed specifications, possession dates, payment milestones and remedies for delay. Review any contract before payment.

A buyer should normally complete the essential verification first. Where a reservation deposit is commercially necessary, obtain a clear written agreement covering the amount, conditions, refund rights, deadlines and circumstances in which the transaction may be terminated.

Availability can change before our website updates. Contact the team with the listing reference for current availability, price, viewing arrangements and any changed terms. Payment should never be made merely because an advert remains online.

Yes. Our team can coordinate property searches, inspections and updates remotely. You may also appoint appropriately authorised representatives and obtain independent legal advice before signing or paying.

You can request a physical inspection or ask whether a video viewing is available. We will confirm the appointment, access permissions and any applicable inspection terms before proceeding.

Not necessarily. Rent, service charges, agency fees, legal documentation charges, security deposits and other agreed outgoings may be distinct. Request an itemised written breakdown before making payment.

Ask for disclosed service arrangements and inspect the premises and neighbourhood. Verify metering, backup power, water, security, roads and estate charges. Conditions can vary even within the same estate.

Yes. Our letting support includes property marketing, inspection coordination and tenant sourcing, with screening and documentation support depending on the agreed service scope.

The parties should use an appropriate tenancy agreement reviewed or prepared by a qualified lawyer, with clear rent, term, responsibilities, service charges, repairs, notice and dispute-resolution provisions.

Contact our property team and provide the property location, photographs, description, expected price, ownership or marketing authority and available title documents. We will explain our intake, verification and publication process.

No. The Chaman Properties platform uses a controlled staff and administrator workflow. Listings are submitted for review before public publication. An advert is not automatically verified merely because details were uploaded.

Provide clear, recent and genuine photographs covering the exterior, key rooms, amenities and access. More useful photographs improve the buyer's understanding, but photographs must accurately depict the advertised property. Do not use images from unrelated properties.

You can notify our team of a change. Published-property corrections are handled through an authorised workflow to protect listing accuracy, rather than allowing unreviewed changes to appear immediately.

No public agent subscription tier is currently offered on this personalised Chaman Properties website. Marketing or professional service charges, where applicable, are communicated under an individual engagement or written agreement.

Yes. Our diaspora service can coordinate property discovery, inspections, video reporting, negotiation support, legal due diligence referrals and property management under an agreed engagement.

We can coordinate appropriate property and title checks through qualified professionals. Buyers should confirm the investigation's scope and written findings before deciding whether to proceed.

Depending on the signed management agreement, services may include tenant coordination, rent collection, inspections, contractor oversight, maintenance reporting and owner statements. Responsibilities, expenses and approval thresholds are agreed in writing.

Reporting frequency, available photographs or videos, work updates and management records depend on the agreed service. Ask for the reporting schedule before appointing a property manager.

Do not pay merely on the strength of a social-media advert, WhatsApp message or account name. Verify the payee and written payment instructions independently through the company's official contact channels, and obtain proper receipts and contracts.

Send us the listing reference and describe the discrepancy. We can investigate, request corrections and, where appropriate, restrict the listing while the concern is reviewed.

Use our contact form or WhatsApp to describe your preferred state, locality, budget, property type and timing. The team may assist with sourcing. We do not promise that a suitable property will always be available.

Visit our Contact page and use the official email, telephone or WhatsApp contact options. For an existing advert, include its property reference number so the team can identify it accurately.
