Understanding Land Titles

Not all titles are equal. Here's what each one means and what every Prestland buyer receives on completion.

C of O — Certificate of Occupancy

The strongest land title in Nigeria. State-government issued, conferring 99-year leasehold rights. If a title is C of O, the state has formally recognised the holder's right to occupy and use the land for 99 years.

Gazette — Government Allocation

A government publication confirming land allocation; a legally recognised title document in Lagos State. A gazetted parcel has been officially excised and published by the government, which is why it carries legal weight.

Deed of Assignment

A legal document transferring ownership from a vendor to a buyer; recognised in Lagos State courts. It records the chain of ownership and is the instrument by which rights pass from seller to buyer.

What every Prestland buyer receives: On completion of payment — at minimum — a Survey Plan and Payment Receipt, plus the title document specific to their estate (C of O, Gazette, or Deed of Assignment).
