Now, let’s talk about something we know you’ll find super important: land titles and registered surveys. If you’re a landowner or thinking about becoming one, you absolutely need to get this right. Here’s why—and how Aceroyal makes the whole process not just easy, but enjoyable and stress-free.

What’s a Land Title Anyway?

A land title is essentially the official document that proves you own a piece of land. In Nigeria, there are a few types of land titles you might come across, such as the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), Right of Occupancy (R of O), Freehold, and others. Each serves a different purpose and offers various levels of security. For now, let’s focus on one crucial aspect of land ownership: the REGISTERED SURVEY which is an essential step in the process.

What’s a Registered Survey?

A registered survey is like a map of your land. It shows the exact boundaries, dimensions, and location of your property, prepared by a licensed surveyor and filed with the state’s Office of the

Surveyor-General. Think of it as your land’s GPS coordinates—clearly marking where your property begins and ends, and ensuring there are no disputes with boundaries.

Why Do You Need a Registered Survey?

A registered survey isn’t just a formality; it’s a vital part of the land ownership process. Here’s why:

  1. Clarity and Security: It shows exactly where your land is, so there’s no confusion or future arguments with neighbors.

  2. Essential for Obtaining a Land Title: You can’t get your C of O or other land titles without a registered survey. It’s a necessary step to prove the land is free from government issues and other encumbrances.

  3. Peace of Mind: It helps verify that the land you’re buying is legitimate and doesn’t have any hidden problems like government acquisition or other claims.

If you’ve ever tried handling the process on your own, you know it’s not easy as there are multiple steps involved.

These steps come with their own challenges—red tape, delays, and unexpected costs. But here’s the good news: Aceroyal Estates Homes handles all of this for you.
