Survey Plan in Nigeria: Your First Step to Secure Land Ownership

When buying, selling, or developing land in Nigeria, one of the most critical documents you need is a survey plan. This legal and technical document outlines the boundaries, size, and location of a parcel of land. Whether you're investing in plots in Lagos, developing estates in Enugu, or acquiring farmland in Kaduna, having an approved survey plan is essential for land verification and security.

At African Land, we help clients obtain and interpret accurate survey plans across Nigeria, ensuring that your real estate transactions are safe, legal, and future-proof.

What is a Survey Plan in Nigeria?

A survey plan is a detailed drawing showing the exact dimensions and boundaries of a piece of land. Prepared by a licensed surveyor, it includes:

• Plot size and shape

• Coordinates and boundary marks

• Orientation (North arrow)

• Adjacent plots or roads

• Surveyor’s seal and registration number

• Approval from the Surveyor General’s office

It is an official document required for processing the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) and other land titles in Nigeria.

Why You Need a Survey Plan in Nigeria

1. Land Verification and Ownership Proof
A survey plan confirms that the land exists in the government’s record and isn’t under acquisition or dispute. It also helps prevent buying encroached or government-committed land.

2. Plot Subdivision and Development
Planning to build or divide land into multiple plots? A survey plan helps in site design, building approvals, and registration with town planning authorities.

3. Legal Documentation
Survey plans are a legal requirement for land title processing (C of O, Governor’s Consent, Deed of Assignment, etc.) across all states in Nigeria.

4. Secure Investments
Whether you’re buying land in Lekki or investing in farmland in Cross River, a survey plan is your proof of legitimate ownership and protects against fraud.
