Hi,

can a foreigner buy property in Nigeria?

If so, is it complicated? What is the process of purchasing a property in Nigeria?

Any tips for buying property, such as a check-list of items to verify ?

Thanks in advance for participating!

So with place are you planning buying a property? Prices of Housing a high in the places Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt. Regards.

To our beloveth foreigners, of course buying a poroperty in Nigeria is very possible n very interesting considering the true nature of the patriotic Nigerians who re peace loving and ready to grow irrespective of what you hear about them.. Buying a property in Nigeria is not a wasted effort! Just make sure u avoid the far north thts all!

According to Supreme Court Judgement in 2017, It is not legal for Foreigner to buy land or property in Nigeria as foreigner is classified as alien, However a foreigner can legitimately own a land through a company or business registered in Nigeria by Cooperate Affairs Commission.
