I reviewed 10 Lagos land deals being marketed to Nigerians in the UK.

Only 3 passed due diligence.

The other 7 had serious issues:

❌ No registered title
❌ Government acquisition risks
❌ Long-running family disputes
❌ Survey plans that didn’t match the actual land

Due diligence isn’t an extra cost.

It’s the investment that protects your investment.
