Verification improves confidence — it does not replace independent legal or professional advice.

Quick Summary

This is a plain-language overview. It doesn't replace the full policy below, but it covers what most people want to know first.

  • A "Verified by Uniland" badge means a property passed our internal review — not a legal guarantee.
  • Verification may include ownership review, title documents, surveys, and site inspections.
  • We do not guarantee ownership, legal title, or freedom from future disputes.
  • Verification status can be withdrawn if new information contradicts what was submitted.
  • Investors should still get independent legal, financial, and technical advice.

1. Purpose

The purpose of this Policy is to:

  • Improve trust between buyers and property owners.
  • Reduce fraudulent listings.
  • Verify key property information before publication.
  • Promote transparency within the Nigerian real estate market.
  • Help investors identify properties that have undergone preliminary due diligence.

2. What "Verified by Uniland" Means

A Verified by Uniland badge indicates that the property has successfully completed Uniland's internal verification process at the time of review.

This generally means that we have:

  • Reviewed the information provided by the property owner.
  • Examined supporting documentation.
  • Conducted verification checks appropriate to the property.
  • Completed our internal review process.
  • Approved the property for publication.

The badge does not mean that Uniland guarantees legal ownership, future title validity, investment performance, or freedom from all possible disputes.

3. Our Verification Principles

Every verification is guided by these principles:

Transparency

We seek to present accurate and honest property information.

Independence

Verification is conducted objectively and independently of commercial considerations.

Consistency

Every property is assessed using standardized internal procedures.

Risk Reduction

Verification aims to reduce—not eliminate—property acquisition risks.

Continuous Improvement

Our verification standards may evolve as regulations, technology, and industry practices change.

4. Verification Process

The scope of verification may vary depending on the property's location, ownership structure, and available documentation.

Our review may include one or more of the following:

Ownership Verification

We review available information to confirm that the individual or organization submitting the property appears to have authority to market or dispose of it.

This may include:

  • Proof of ownership
  • Authorization documents
  • Corporate authorization
  • Identity verification

Title Document Review

Where available, we may review title documents such as:

  • Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
  • Registered Survey Plan
  • Gazette
  • Excision documentation
  • Governor's Consent
  • Deed of Assignment
  • Allocation Letter
  • Purchase Receipt

Document review is intended to identify obvious inconsistencies or omissions. It does not constitute legal certification of title.

Survey Review

Where a registered survey plan is available, we may review:

  • Property boundaries
  • Coordinates
  • Dimensions
  • General consistency with the submitted property information

Site Inspection

Where appropriate, our team may conduct a physical inspection of the property.

A site inspection may include:

  • Confirmation of the property's location.
  • Visual assessment of the land or buildings.
  • Boundary observations.
  • Access road assessment.
  • Photograph documentation.
  • General condition of the property.

The scope of an inspection depends on access, weather conditions, security, and other practical considerations.

Location Verification

We may verify:

  • State
  • Local Government Area
  • Community
  • Neighbourhood
  • GPS location
  • Accessibility

This helps ensure that the published location accurately represents the property.

Accessibility Assessment

We may assess factors including:

  • Road access
  • Vehicle accessibility
  • Proximity to major roads
  • General accessibility for inspection and development

Development Assessment

Where relevant, we may observe:

  • Existing structures
  • Site condition
  • Terrain
  • Drainage
  • Utilities visible at the time of inspection
  • Surrounding developments

These observations are for informational purposes only.

Government Acquisition Review

Where appropriate, we may review whether the property appears to be affected by known government acquisition issues based on available information and documentation.

This review is limited to information reasonably accessible during our verification process.

Community & Occupancy Review

Where appropriate, we may make preliminary observations regarding:

  • Visible occupation
  • Boundary markers
  • Community-related concerns
  • General site observations

These observations do not constitute legal confirmation of ownership or possession.

5. What We Do Not Guarantee

Our verification process has important limitations.

Verification does not guarantee:

  • Absolute ownership.
  • Legal title.
  • Freedom from future disputes.
  • Freedom from litigation.
  • Investment profitability.
  • Future government actions.
  • Zoning approvals.
  • Planning approvals.
  • Development permits.
  • Future infrastructure projects.
  • Market appreciation.
  • Absence of hidden defects.
  • Environmental suitability.

Investors should always obtain independent legal, financial, surveying, and technical advice before completing any transaction.

6. Investor Responsibilities

Before purchasing or leasing any property, investors should:

  • Review all available documentation.
  • Engage an independent legal practitioner.
  • Conduct additional due diligence where appropriate.
  • Visit the property where possible.
  • Verify that the property meets their intended use.
  • Confirm any regulatory requirements applicable to their project.

7. Property Owner Responsibilities

Property owners must:

  • Provide truthful information.
  • Submit authentic documentation.
  • Disclose material information affecting the property.
  • Cooperate during verification.
  • Notify Uniland of any material changes after verification.

Failure to do so may result in rejection, suspension, or removal of a listing.

8. Ongoing Verification

Verification reflects the status of a property at the time it was reviewed.

Circumstances may change after publication, including:

  • Ownership
  • Availability
  • Pricing
  • Legal status
  • Development condition
  • Access
  • Documentation

For this reason, Uniland may:

  • Re-verify listings periodically.
  • Request updated documentation.
  • Conduct follow-up inspections.
  • Remove outdated listings.
  • Suspend verification status.

9. Revocation of Verification Status

A property's verification status may be withdrawn if:

  • New information contradicts previously submitted information.
  • Ownership becomes disputed.
  • Fraud is suspected.
  • Documentation cannot be substantiated.
  • Material facts were withheld.
  • The property no longer meets our standards.

Where appropriate, listings may also be suspended or removed.

10. Fraud Prevention

If fraudulent documentation or misleading information is identified, Uniland reserves the right to:

  • Reject the property.
  • Remove the listing.
  • Suspend the associated account.
  • Report suspected fraud to the relevant authorities where appropriate.

11. Limitation of Liability

The Verified by Uniland badge should not be interpreted as a legal opinion, title insurance, certification of ownership, or investment recommendation.

Uniland's verification process is intended solely to improve transparency and assist users in making informed decisions.

Users remain responsible for obtaining independent professional advice before completing any property transaction.

12. Updates to this Policy

We may update this Property Verification Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our verification procedures, technology, legal requirements, or business operations.

The most current version will always be available on our website.
