Buying from abroad means you may not be able to visit whenever a question arises. Build a process that gives you independent information, written terms and a complete record of what happens.
Start with the exact property
Ask for the estate name, location, plot size and the specific allocation being offered. Request the relevant title and survey information before making a commitment. A general estate brochure is useful background, but your purchase needs a clearly identified property.
Put someone independent on the ground
A live video walkthrough helps you ask questions in real time. Request views of access roads, boundaries, neighbours and the features discussed in the offer. Complement that call with an independent surveyor’s inspection and a property lawyer’s records review.
If a relative or representative will act for you, agree their role and authority in writing with professional guidance. A trusted person can help coordinate the process, but trust and technical verification perform different jobs.
Establish the full payment schedule
Request a quotation covering the purchase price, instalment total, additional charges and due dates. If you are paying from another currency, account for your provider’s exchange rate, transfer fees and processing time. Do not assume the naira amount reaching the seller will match the amount you first entered.
For payments to Himaz, confirm the company’s account details through an established contact. Retain invoices, bank confirmations and receipts together. Verify any change of payment instructions before using it.
Agree how the paperwork reaches you
List what is available now, what will be prepared after payment, who handles each step, and how updates will be provided. Agree whether originals will be collected by an authorised representative, kept for collection or sent by an agreed delivery method. Record any associated charges and expected timing.
Ask for readable copies of completed documents and keep a secure backup. A verbal promise that “everything is being processed” should lead to a specific status update, reference and next step.
Distance changes how you inspect and communicate; it should not remove those steps. Contact Himaz to arrange a remote discussion and request the information for the property you are considering.
