Buying land? Check the records first.
We search the survey and title records. You get a written report.

Who it's for
- You're about to pay a seller or an agent for a plot.
- You want the survey plan's coordinates checked.
- You want the title history looked at.

Questions
What do land checks look at?
Charting (Survey Search) checks your survey plan's coordinates against relevant survey and planning records. Root of Title (Title History Search) reviews the property's ownership and title history through the applicable records. A Full Land Check does both in one order. You add your documents first and pay once our team has accepted them.
What do I get?
A completed report of what each search found, with any documents the search returned, as received, kept with the property's record. It describes the records searched on that date; it isn't a guarantee of title.
Where can I order one?
Available now in Port Harcourt. Lagos and Abuja coming soon.
Does a land check settle who owns the land?
No. It reports what the records showed on the day they were searched. Ownership is a legal question for a lawyer and a surveyor.
