Title documents(house documents) are legal documents
of properties indicating necessary details and owner of the property. There are
different types, and are considered below:
1. Approval:
This is used to request for a plot of land from a community or from the Oba. Once
this approval is issued, you become the sole or original owner of the said
property( that is the property was not assigned to anybody prior to you. In
fact, you are the virgin owner. This document carries the beacon numbers of the
plot as well as signatures of the elders and community leader.
2. Deeds
of transfer/Deed of Assignment: This document is prepared by a lawyer and duly
signed by both parties, transferor(the one selling) and transferee(the one
buying). So there is going to be a transfer of ownership
3. Survey:
surveying is the measurement and mapping of our environment. Surveyors are the first
people on any construction site, measuring and mapping the land. These primary
measurements are then used by architects to understand and make the most of the
unique landscape when designing and engineers to plan structures accurately and
safely ensuring buildings not only fit with the landscape but are able to be
constructed.
4. Certificate
of Occupancy(C of O): This is a document issued by the government to interested
property owners. It is valid for 99 years.
5. House
plan: The house plan lays out the structure of the proposed house on paper. It is
the blueprint of the house. It usually reveals different sections of the house.
It is prepared by an architect.
THE BOTTOM LINE
From the foregoing, not every property owner has all
the documents discussed above. Notwithstanding, with just Approval and Deeds of
Transfer, a property owner can sell off his property if he wishes.
