....IF IT WILL COST YOU MILLIONS,,,
DON'T DEVELOP THAT LAND.
đź’Ą 6 THINGS TO DO, BEFORE DEVELOPING/ BUILDING ON YOUR LAND IN TOWNSHIP.
1) Confirm Land ownership: it's necessary to confirm the real owner of the land before buying, content of agreement on deed of assignment. Complete transfer of ownership from the seller to buyer, with a clean and uninterrupted signature or thumb print..Your LAWYER have a role to play..
2) Engage the services of a registered surveyor: 🛑having survey plan in your name is not enough .
Your surveyor has 4 major legitimate roles to play ;
đź“ŚLand survey: accurate documentation of the land coordinates and location.
đź“ŚLand Charting: this is an investigative process or search of your land location in the state ministry of land, to confirm if your land location falls within areas originally marked for government use or interest.
đź“ŚLand lodging/ deposit: many people are not of the knowledge that ordinary survey plan doesn't mean your land is recognized by the government. There is what is called COD ( CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT) . Undergoing land deposit is documentation of your land in the ministry of land (government recognition) .
Land deposit is a procedure to acquire Cof O( certificate of occupancy) or GOVERNOR CONCEPT.
đź“Ś Geographical land zoning laws: these are considered based on purpose and geographical conditions. It affects the type and purpose of building built in some areas.
For instance;
there are some zoned areas you can't erect 2 stories building,,,,
There are some areas zoned for farm land ( agriculture), Residential building, industrial building , or Commercial building...
This is why some clients see farm land in some deed of assignment...
This is why most of us still have people rearing pigs in our environment even after much petition or complain...
It is important to confirm zoning laws of your land location, it affects the type and purpose of building you might erect there...
Your SURVEYOR can explain better .
3) Check for Access Road & Topography; checking for access road or land topography is very important mostly for industrial or commercial buildings...
Land topography gives a clear picture to ascertain erosion risk level...
4) Soil test : important mostly for high rising or heavy structures...soil test helps in determining your foundation type.. and designs.
5) Obtain a building permit
6) Budget for hidden cost...
Don't be an ignorant landlord,, that makes good investment on the wrong land.
