If you’ve tried to buy land in Nigeria from abroad, you’ve likely heard terms like:

• C of O (Certificate of Occupancy)
  
• TDP (Town Planning Document)
  
• Governor’s Consent
  
• Survey Plan
  
• Deed of Assignment
  

But what do they really mean? And what exactly do you receive when you buy a plot at Awele?

Let’s break it down — clearly, simply, and with no jargon.

First: What Makes a Land Legally Yours?

Owning land in Nigeria isn’t just about paying. You need:

1. Verified title
   
2. Traceable documentation
   
3. Physical allocation
   
4. Legal transfer that stands in court

Awele was structured to provide all four — backed by law, not sentiment.

Here’s What Awele Buyers Get — Document by Document

1. Survey Plan
   
   • Issued with your name and coordinates
     
   • Conducted by licensed surveyors
     
   • Aligned with the approved estate layout
     
2. Deed of Assignment
   
   • Legal transfer of ownership from the developer to you
     
   • Recognized by the government
     
   • Stamp duty applicable and processed
     
3. Contract of Sale
   
   • Signed agreement that outlines what you paid for, your plot details, and terms
     
   • Contains payment schedule and estate responsibilities
     
4. Temporary Allocation Letter
   
   • Confirms your specific plot
     
   • Shows your exact size and location within the estate
     
5. C of O Progression
   
   • Awele’s land is being processed for a global Certificate of Occupancy
     
   • Once ready, all buyers will have C of O linked to their allocation
     
   • The estate also helps individual clients secure personal C of O if needed
     
6. TDP (Town Planning Document)
   
   • Shows government-approved land use for the estate
     
   • Protects against rezoning or future encroachment

And What About the Governor’s Consent?

Governor’s Consent applies to land transfers between two private parties after a C of O is issued.

At Awele:

• Governor’s Consent becomes relevant when you resell
  
• Esso Properties supports buyers with documentation to process it easily
  
• It’s built into the estate’s title planning
  

As The Nation explained, professional developers like those behind Awele are giving diaspora investors the legal clarity they deserve (source).

Why This Matters

These documents:

• Protect you from fraud
  
• Help you obtain loans or mortgages
  
• Allow you to build legally
  
• Guarantee you’re not buying land with “uncertain” history

At Awele, Legal Is Not Optional — It’s Built In

You don’t need a legal degree to understand what you’re buying. You just need an estate that respects the law and walks you through the process.
