How long does it take to buy a house in Abuja?
Typically 2 to 8 weeks depending on documentation status. Our process: share your requirements (Day 1), property shortlisting and inspections (Week 1-2), legal review (Week 2-4), and payment and handover (Week 3-8). Properties with clean documentation close faster.
What is the difference between C of O and R of O?
A Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) is the highest land title in Abuja, issued by the FCT Minister for 99 years. A Right of Occupancy (R of O) is issued by state governors for land outside the FCT. In Abuja, the C of O is the gold standard. Always verify a valid C of O before purchasing. Read our complete guide.
How do I verify land ownership in Abuja?
Conduct a search at AGIS (Abuja Geographic Information Systems) to confirm the registered owner. Verify the C of O at the FCT Land Registry. Cross-check the survey plan with the Survey Department. AI Realent handles this entire verification process, ensuring every property has a clean title.
