If you are reading this post; it means you are interested in owning a property in Port Harcourt. So, I felt it is pertinent to tell you a bit about this city called PORT HARCOURT.
Port Harcourt, also called “Pitakwa” is the capital and largest city of Rivers State, Nigeria. It is the fifth-largest city in Nigeria after Lagos, Kano, Ibadan and Benin City. As of 2016, the Port Harcourt urban area has an estimated population of 1,865,000 inhabitants, up from 1,382,592 as of 2006.
Port Harcourt is a major industrial center as it has a large number of multinational firms as well as other industrial concerns, particularly business related to the petroleum industry. It is the chief oil-refining city in Nigeria.
Here are the 5 things you need to do before buying a property in Port Harcourt
- Investigate the geographic location: Before you start looking for the property to buy; the first thing to do is to investigate the area or region you have decided to acquire your land or property. As this will prevent you from buying property in a troubled or unsafe area.
- Investigate the property itself: Now that you are sure that your desired location is safe; then, the next thing is to investigate the property itself; be it land or building. This will prevent you from buying government acquisition land or property.
- Site Seeing: After the investigation of the property; you need to be on ground to see the land or property yourself. Recently, when we were going to show a client one of his acquired properties from us; we noticed a well-built structure close to the canal and that gets us talking. Why will someone that can build this kind of structure buy a land in a place like this? Then we got to know that the owner was not even in Nigeria. He entrusted the project in his brother’s care who know little or nothing about buying land.
- Proper Documentation: This unfortunate is a bit technical. If you aren’t in the business of buying and selling properties; it might be difficult to know the necessary documents necessary at a particular point in time. E.g Deed of Assignment, Deed of Lease, Deed of Sub-Lease, Deed of Mortgage, Survey Plan and Certificate of Occupancy.
- Documents verification: Theis the last commandment in buying land or any property in Port Harcourt. You may lose your investment if you do not honour these commandments. As this will prevent you from buying stolen property or buying a property from the wrong person. You can even buy a property higher than its value because you failed to verify its documentation.
