OwnershipOwning land in EnuguIn Enugu State, as everywhere in Enugu, the Land Use Act applies: you own a right of occupancy, not freehold. Documents in Enugu range from Certificates of Occupancy to older deeds; transfers need Governor’s Consent. International buyers normally hold through a Nigerian-incorporated company.

BuyingBuying a plot in EnuguPlots in built-up Enugu State tend to be infill sites, so check road access, drainage, setbacks and permitted use with the title. Akanu Ibiam International Airport is about 7.1 km away, so a visit is easy; otherwise we walk the plot with you on video.

SellingSelling land in EnuguThe usual buyers for land in Enugu State are developers, businesses needing a site and local investors. Pricing is set against land sales in Umunevo, Asata Township and Onu-Asata, and the papers are perfected before buyers see it.
