Before buying any land, it’s crucial to verify its status to avoid falling victim to government acquisition. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Hire a Surveyor
You’ll need the expertise of a registered surveyor. The surveyor will visit the land, take the necessary coordinates, and process the data.

Step 2: Verify with the Surveyor General’s Office
The surveyor will submit the land’s coordinates to the Office of the State Surveyor General for a thorough check. Afterward, they’ll provide you with a detailed report on the land’s status.

Important Advice
I strongly recommend you DO NOT buy land that falls under government acquisition, no matter the circumstances. It’s simply not worth the risk.
