Ownership, buying, selling, leasing, valuation and investment of land, as they apply in Benue State.

OwnershipLand titles in BenueIn Benue State, as everywhere in Benue, the Land Use Act applies: you own a right of occupancy, not freehold. Paperwork in Benue varies by street and age of building; we confirm what exists and secure Governor’s Consent. International buyers normally hold through a Nigerian-incorporated company.
BuyingBuying land in BenuePlots in built-up Benue State tend to be infill sites, so check road access, drainage, setbacks and permitted use with the title. Akanu Ibiam International Airport is about 176 km away, so most clients walk the plot with us on video while we inspect in person.
SellingSelling a plot in BenueThe usual buyers for land in Benue State are developers, businesses needing a site and local investors. Pricing is set against land sales in South Mission, Clerks and Market, and the papers are perfected before buyers see it.
LeasingLeasing land in BenueIn Benue State, demand for leased land comes from businesses near Makurdi needing car parks, fuel stations or temporary sites, and fuel retailers, telecoms mast sites and pop-up businesses. We vet tenants, agree the term and reviews in writing, and collect ground rent for you.
