What owning land in Bassa involves.

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

OwnershipLand titles in BassaIn Bassa LGA, as everywhere in Plateau, the Land Use Act applies: you own a right of occupancy, not freehold. On the fringe of Bassa, family land is common, so customary rights and family consent come first. Foreign individuals and companies usually hold through a company incorporated in Nigeria.

BuyingBuying land in BassaAround Bassa LGA, plots are usually sold by families. Family consent, beacons found on the ground and a secured access route come before payment. Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport is about 200 km away, so most clients walk the plot with us on video while we inspect in person.

SellingSelling a plot in BassaPlots in Bassa LGA mostly sell to land bankers, small developers and families planning to build. A perfected title sells faster, so we secure Governor’s Consent and the survey before listing, and price against recent land sales in Buhit, Mafara and Gurum.

LeasingLeasing land in BassaIn Bassa LGA, demand for leased land comes from farmers and agro-processors. Leases are drafted with your lawyer, tenants are vetted and ground rent is collected on schedule.

ValuationWhat land in Bassa is worthA land value in Bassa LGA is set from recent comparable land sales in Buhit, Mafara, Gurum and Kishika, adjusted for plot size, shape and frontage; the title type; road access; and distance to Jos (about 17 km). Asking prices are not published here because they move; you get a written valuation.
