Safety Tips for Renters & Buyers

How to protect yourself from common real estate scams in Nigeria.

1

Never Pay Inspection Fees Upfront

Legitimate agents show properties for free. If anyone asks for an "inspection fee" before you've seen the property, walk away — it's a scam.

2

Watch Out for the "Deep Pocket" Trick

If an agent shows a suspiciously cheap listing to lure you in, then "switches" you to a more expensive one — that's a deep pocket scam. Leave immediately.

3

Verify Any Lawyer Handling Legal Fees

Ask for the lawyer's full name, Bar ID, and phone number. Call to confirm before paying anything. Fake legal documents are common.

4

Pay Rent to Landlord or Corporate Manager Only

Only pay into a verified landlord account or registered property management account — never a middleman's personal OPay, Palmpay, or GTBank account.

5

Demand Title Documents Before Committing

Always request a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), Deed of Assignment, or Survey Plan. Verify them at the Lands Registry if you can.

6

Only Deal with Verified Agents

Look for the verified badge on agent profiles. Unverified agents are higher risk — proceed with extra caution and do more checks yourself.

7

Never View a Property Alone

Bring a trusted friend, family member, or independent agent. A second pair of eyes helps with measurements, photos, and spotting red flags.
