Land

Land in Nasarawa: what to know.

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

OwnershipOwning land in NasarawaUnder the Land Use Act, land in Nasarawa is held in trust by the governor, so owners in Nasarawa State hold a right of occupancy rather than freehold. In built-up Nasarawa, 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 NasarawaPlots in built-up Nasarawa State tend to be infill sites, so check road access, drainage, setbacks and permitted use with the title. Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport is about 155 km away, so most clients walk the plot with us on video while we inspect in person.

SellingSelling land in NasarawaThe usual buyers for land in Nasarawa State 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 Akurba, Bakin Rijiya and Wakwa.

LeasingGround leases in NasarawaLand in Nasarawa State can be leased to businesses near Lafia 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.

ValuationValuing land in NasarawaLand values in Nasarawa State come from current evidence, chiefly comparable land sales in Akurba, Bakin Rijiya, Wakwa and Chiroma, adjusted for plot size, shape and frontage; the title type; road access; and access to main roads.
