Can I Use My Land in Awele to Access a Loan in the Future?

You are currently viewing Can I Use My Land in Awele to Access a Loan in the Future?

For many investors, land isn’t just about building — it’s about leverage. So naturally, one of the most forward-thinking questions buyers ask is:

“Can I use my plot at Awele as collateral for a loan?”
“Will banks or financial institutions recognize the title documents?”

This question is important — especially for diaspora investors planning to reinvest, build, or even fund other ventures in Nigeria.

And the answer is: Yes — with proper documentation, land at Awele can become a bankable asset.

Here’s how it works.

1. Awele Plots Come With Verifiable Title Documents

Each plot in Awele is allocated with:

  • A contract of sale
  • A survey plan
  • A layout inclusion map
  • An allocation letter

These documents are:

  • Legally recognized
  • Verifiable at the Ministry of Lands
  • Traceable to the registered developer (Esso Properties)

This forms the foundation for title perfection, which is key to getting a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O).

2. Title Perfection Path Makes It Eligible for Collateral

Once your land’s title is perfected (i.e., you receive:

  • Governor’s Consent
  • Deed of Assignment
  • C of O or registered deed

You can then:

  • Use the plot to secure a loan or mortgage
  • Approach banks or financial institutions for capital
  • Leverage your land as an appreciating asset

This is what separates real estates from speculative land.

3. Why Banks Will Recognize Awele’s Land

Awele is:

  • Fully documented
  • Located within an approved layout
  • Developed by a corporate body with registration under REDAN and CAC
  • Covered by project development reports and ongoing site documentation

As The Nation explains, financial institutions are increasingly open to structured estates with transparent governance and track record (The Nation).

Awele ticks those boxes.

4. What You Need to Do to Make It Happen

To position your Awele plot as collateral:

  1. Complete all payments and secure your documents
  2. Request title perfection support from the estate team
  3. Work with a legal consultant to process the C of O or Governor’s Consent
  4. Present to your bank or preferred lender with a valuation report

Esso Properties can guide buyers on this — especially diaspora clients unfamiliar with local processes.

5. A Common Strategy for Diaspora Investors

Buyers abroad are increasingly using this model:

  • Acquire land in high-growth corridors like Awele
  • Perfect titles
  • Use it to access loans for business, construction, or future investments

It’s not just a piece of land. It becomes a financial instrument.

Final Word: With the Right Steps, Awele Can Be Your Leverage — Not Just Your Legacy

This isn’t bare land in a bush.

It’s structured, legal, and positioned for appreciation — and collateralization.
