5 Ways To Avoid Building Demolition In Lagos
Recently, in April-May 2024 in Lagos State, Nigeria, demolition of houses has been trending and we could see that some houses are being demolished both on the Lagos Mainland and the Island.
So sorry to see some of these houses being demolished but the truth is that some of those houses will be demolished due to wrong documentation titles and not getting approval before building.
ATTENTION: The Lagos State Government will not just start demolishing houses if the houses are well structured and they are in line with what the Government wants and approval is being gotten on them.

Here are the 5 Ways To Avoid Building Demolition in Lagos. If you want to buy property in Lagos, please ensure you tick these 5 ways unless your building will be demolished just like the other ones so far.
1. GET APPROVAL FOR YOUR PROPERTY BEFORE BUILDING:
It’s best safe to buy property from a real estate company. I encourage this. However, ensure you ask the developer if building approval has been on the land you bought before erecting a block on your land.
If you’re buying from a real estate developer, the company will get this approval but make sure you confirm it.

2. DON’T BUY PROPERTY WITHOUT ENOUGH SET-BACK
A lot of people love to buy property facing the road simply because property facing the road appreciates a lot. However, ensure there is set back from the property you are building and the road to avoid demolition in case there is a need for road expansion by the Government in the future.

3. DON’T BUY PROPERTY CLOSE TO THE CARNAL:
For God’s sake, why would you decide to buy a property where there is a blockage of the water system? Well, the Lagos State Government doesn’t joke with buildings constructed by the carnal. It’s a matter of time, the Government is coming for you and your buildings.
To be on the safer side ensure you have enough setbacks if you must buy a property close to the carnal. Otherwise, the construction of drainage in the future will eat up your property.
