Property Lawyer in Lagos
Legal Lounge acts for buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and developers across Lagos. Before money changes hands, we confirm what you are actually buying — and document it so the interest holds up.
Title verification before you pay
We conduct searches at the Lagos State Lands Bureau and, where relevant, the Land Registry, and review the survey plan and chain of title. The search shows the registered owner, any encumbrance, and whether the land sits under government acquisition or a committed scheme.
Conveyancing and perfection of title
We prepare and review deeds of assignment, mortgages and sublease documents, then handle Governor's consent, stamping and registration so the transfer is complete rather than merely paid for.
Leases, tenancy and recovery of premises
For landlords and tenants in Lagos we draft and negotiate commercial and residential leases, and act in recovery of premises proceedings and rent recovery where the tenancy has broken down.
Land disputes
Where a title is challenged, we act in claims for declaration of title, trespass, boundary disputes and injunctions to restrain further encroachment, in the Lagos High Court and where necessary on appeal.
