Land

Land in Shomolu: what to know.

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

OwnershipOwning land in ShomoluUnder the Land Use Act, land in Lagos is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Shomolu LGA hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold. In built-up Shomolu, older deeds sit alongside Certificates of Occupancy, and Governor’s Consent completes any sale. For foreign buyers, ownership is usually through a company registered in Nigeria.

BuyingBuying a plot in ShomoluPlots in built-up Shomolu LGA tend to be infill sites, so check road access, drainage, setbacks and permitted use with the title. With Lagos airport about 6.8 km away, a site walk fits into a short trip, or we walk it with you on video.

SellingSelling land in ShomoluThe usual buyers for land in Shomolu LGA are 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 Alade, Mafowoku and Lad-Lak.
