Land in Kwara, topic by topic.

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

OwnershipOwning land in KwaraIn Kwara State, as everywhere in Kwara, the Land Use Act applies: you own a right of occupancy, not freehold. Paperwork in Kwara varies by street and age of building; we confirm what exists and secure Governor’s Consent. Foreign individuals and companies usually hold through a company incorporated in Nigeria.

BuyingBuying a plot in KwaraPlots in built-up Kwara State tend to be infill sites, so check road access, drainage, setbacks and permitted use with the title. At about 252 km from Lagos airport, land in Kwara is usually seen by video, with our team on site.

SellingSelling land in KwaraPlots in Kwara State mostly sell to developers, businesses needing a site and local investors. A perfected title sells faster, so we secure Governor’s Consent and the survey before listing, and price against recent land sales in Magaji Ngeri, Badari and Balogun Alanamu Central.

LeasingGround leases in KwaraGround leases in Kwara State suit businesses near Ilorin 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.
