In Lagos, the land survey fee is based on two main things about the land- the size of the land and the zone the land is located-

Size of the land (acres per square meter): After measuring the land and doing some math in the office, a surveyor can help you figure out how big your piece of land really is. This will help you avoid claims from the vendor that might be exaggerated to get you to buy the land. Keep in mind that the bigger the land, the more it will cost for a survey and government paperwork.

The land’s location is shown by the Zone in Lagos: This depends on where your land is in the world. In Lagos State, there are three zones that are used to process survey plans and land documents, like a certificate of occupancy and the governor’s consent. Different local government areas in Lagos state are categorized into Zone A, Zone B and Zone C. The areas are split into zones based on how economically viable they are and how much it costs to buy a plot of land.

The cost of a land survey in Lagos state is N350, 000 for a 0-1,000square meter plot in zone C, N500, 000 Naira for a 0-1,000square meter plot in zone B, and 1 million Naira for a 0-1,000square meter plot in zone A. Below, I’ll show you how to easily figure out how much your survey and paperwork will cost, as well as what to do to avoid being scammed or cheated.

Before buying a piece of land, you need to know what the land’s status is. You need a survey plan to keep track of and protect my land. A survey plan is also a way to protect your land and make sure that your valuable asset (real estate) is in your name. This can only be done by having your property surveyed and writing down the survey plan. The government uses the survey plan to prove that you are the legal owner of the land. It is the main document that shows who owns the land in relation to other paper.

STEPS FOR MAKING PAYMENT FOR LAND SURVEY AND PAPAERWORK IN LAGOS STATE

Any client who wants to survey and record a survey plan in Lagos state will have to pay a land surveyor two very important fees. These are:

• The fee that must be paid (The most important for an original survey plan).

This is the money that your land surveyor must pay to the ministry of that state in order for any survey plan to be processed. This money cannot be changed. With this payment, the person who owns the land will get a new beacon number that will be attached to the property to show that the person is the owner of the land.

Any surveyor who tries to talk to you about this money is trying to rip you off, because this money is supposed to be paid to the ministry so that your survey work can be approved. Most of the time, problems start when Nigerians look for cheaper options, and some surveyors don’t want to lose money in the process.

They agree to take less money and give the go-ahead to do the site work and provide a plan that hasn’t been registered because the amount being paid to them can’t cover the required fee. In essence, the plan provided is just a sheet of paper with drawings on it that hasn’t been registered and can’t be used for any legal land transaction and documentation of the purchased land. Please be careful and don’t hire a surveyor who says they will work for less than the required fee.

• Fee for professionalism (This is the site and office work fee that is to be paid to a surveyor for his or her job)

You can talk about this with your Surveyor. Surveyors do charge between 100,000 and 150,000 per plot in Lagos, depending on where your land or estate is and how professional they are. However, this price can be negotiated down to a lower amount.

The price per plot goes down as there are more plots. The best thing to do is to pay your surveyor a lot, since he will be your representative in making your survey plan. Another thing that affects the price of a survey in a certain area is how hard it is to do a survey there.

For example, the areas around the Lekki free trade zone that are swampy or in the water will be harder to survey and will need more specialized tools and methods than the dry land in Epe town. Also, the more complicated the work on site is, the more complicated and time-consuming the work in the office will be to get the most accurate and precise presentation of your survey plan.

When you find land for sale, the first thing you should do is bring in a land surveyor to help you in a professional way. When figuring out how much land you want to buy, you should also think about the cost of the land survey and paperwork. Without a land survey and paperwork, there is no record of the transaction, and the government is not involved. You only have a receipt between you and the vendor, which can’t be used to prove that you own the land.

Note: This post was last changed on May 25, and the Nigerian Institute of Surveyors may have changed the price by the time you read this. No matter what the status of the land is in Lagos state, the cost of a land survey stays the same.
