§ How verification works

Five layers of verification.All published openly.

Nigerian real estate has a trust problem. We don't solve it with marketing copy. We solve it by doing the work most platforms skip — and showing our findings, including the bad ones.

Step 01

Title search at source

Every title is searched directly against the relevant state land registry. Lagos State LandWeb is live; Cross River, Akwa Ibom, and Rivers are in integration.

We pull the actual registered title document — Certificate of Occupancy, Deed of Assignment, or Governor's Consent — and cross-reference the plot number, owner name, and issue date against state records.

Step 02

Physical site visit

A licensed field officer visits every plot with RTK GPS, time-stamped photography, and structured documentation.

They verify the plot is where the document says it is (not always true in older titles), check the perimeter matches the survey drawing, and photograph any existing structures, encroachments, or neighbouring activity.

Step 03

Community consultation

For rural and urban-fringe plots, the field team consults with community representatives — the Omo Onile, family heads, or customary chiefs.

This is the step most platforms skip and most disputes arise from. If the community doesn't recognise the title as clean, we surface that openly rather than pretending the registry paperwork is the only truth.

Step 04

Satellite change detection

Sentinel-2 imagery is pulled for every plot and run through our change detection pipeline monthly.

We flag new construction, coastal erosion, flooding events, and encroachment automatically. This continues after the plot is listed — so we catch issues that emerge post-verification.

Step 05

Title status published

Every plot gets a public title status — Verified, Pending, Disputed, or Rejected — along with honest risk scores.

A plot rated "Pending" is listable but clearly marked. A plot with elevated flood risk shows that risk prominently on the listing page. We publish problems because hiding them is what breaks trust.

§ Important: what verification is not

We cannot guarantee a plot is perfect. Nobody can.

What we can do is show you everything we found — the clean parts and the messy parts — so you can make an informed decision with your lawyer and your advisors.

A plot rated "Verified" on our platform has passed five layers of checks. It is not a guarantee against future disputes, environmental changes, or regulatory shifts. But it is a material, auditable standard that no other Nigerian platform currently offers.
