Understanding land titles in Lagos can be confusing, but it's the most critical part of buying property. The two gold standards you will encounter are the C of O and Governor's Consent.
The Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
A C of O is issued by the state government officially leasing the land to the first owner for 99 years. It's the primary root of title. Most of our off-plan developments start with this.
Governor's Consent
If someone with a C of O sells the land to a second buyer, the government must consent to this transfer. This document is called Governor's Consent. It is just as secure as a C of O. For example, our fully finished units in Glory City Extension II come with Governor's Consent.
The Verdict
Both titles give you absolute legal security. As long as your property has one of these (which all Pneuma Holdings properties do), you are completely safe.
