Land

Land in Tofa: what to know.

Ownership, buying, selling, leasing, valuation and investment of land, as they apply in Tofa LGA.

OwnershipOwning land in TofaUnder the Land Use Act, land in Kano is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Tofa LGA hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold. Estates around Tofa often sit under one global title, so the question is whether your plot can get its own consent and registration. International buyers normally hold through a Nigerian-incorporated company.

BuyingBuying a plot in TofaIn Tofa LGA, the choice is usually an estate plot or a standalone plot, often toward Kwami and Jauben Kudu. The developer’s title and the infrastructure actually built are the key checks. Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport is about 25 km away, so a visit is easy; otherwise we walk the plot with you on video.

SellingSelling land in TofaLand in Tofa LGA typically sells to families and Nigerians abroad planning to build, and estate developers. A perfected title sells faster, so we secure Governor’s Consent and the survey before listing, and price against recent land sales in Kwami, Jauben Kudu and Doka.

LeasingGround leases in TofaLand in Tofa LGA can be leased to small businesses and developers in a growing area. Leases are drafted with your lawyer, tenants are vetted and ground rent is collected on schedule.
