Property Deal Rulebook

Description

Buying property in Abuja is not like buying anywhere else. Titles go through the FCT Minister and AGIS, ground rent is being enforced, and hundreds of Area Council land documents have been cancelled after failing verification. One wrong step can cost you millions.

Property Deal Rulebook: Abuja Edition is an 82-page, step-by-step guide by Njideka Blessing, an independent realtor with 8 years in Nigerian real estate. She worked at Brains & Hammers, Tayan Group and Dradrock Real Estate in Lagos before going independent. It gives you a clear process for finding, checking and closing property deals.

What's inside (17 chapters, 7 appendices):

• How to set your numbers before you look at any property
• Abuja's districts, and where to invest
• How Abuja land titles work: C of O, Ministerial consent, ground rent and recertification
• How to find off-market deals, with outreach scripts
• How to work out net yield, with worked naira examples
• A full due diligence playbook and negotiation scripts
• Fraud patterns, safe payment rules and legal protection
• Funding options, tax questions to ask, and managing your property
• Why I think land is safer than rental property, and where that view can be wrong
• How to buy land safely, and how to choose a real estate company
• A 90-day action plan

Tools included: a deal analyzer worksheet, a master due diligence checklist, a land purchase checklist, a company scorecard, an offer letter outline and a glossary.

Bonus: an invitation to my WhatsApp channel, where I share my private list of preferred real estate companies.

Abuja Edition: the legal and market details focus on Abuja and the FCT. Many principles, such as verification, the numbers, negotiation and fraud awareness, apply to any Nigerian property purchase.
