Land Title Verification and C of O Help
Never pay for land or a house until the title has been checked. We verify the documents, the survey and the land itself, so you buy with confidence, even from abroad.

What we check
Who really owns it
We confirm the seller’s identity and that they have the right to sell. For family land, we check that the family heads have agreed.
The title documents
We check that the C of O, Governor’s Consent, deed of assignment or allocation letter is genuine, with the relevant land registry.
The survey plan
We confirm the survey plan is registered and that its coordinates match the land you are being shown.
Government acquisition
We check that the land is free from government acquisition or road setbacks that could put your money at risk.
Disputes and charges
Where records allow, we look for court cases, mortgages or other claims against the property.
A site visit
We visit the property, check the boundaries and neighbours, and send you photos or a video.
