A Survey plan is a document that measures the boundary of a parcel of land to give an accurate measurement and description of that land.
The people that handle survey issues are Surveyors and they are regulated by the office of the Surveyor general in Lagos as it relates to survey issues in Lagos. Every state has their Surveyor General office always located most times in the state secretariat. A survey plan must contain the following information:
- The name of the owner of the land surveyed
- The Address or description of the land surveyed
- The size of the land surveyed
- The drawn out portion of the land survey and mapped out on the survey plan document
- The beacon numbers
- The surveyor who drew up the survey plan and the date it was drawn up
- A stamp showing the land is either free from Government acquisition or not.
LEGALLY SPEAKING, A REGISTERED SURVEY IS NOT A TITLE TO LAND. This is why you should not BUY A PROPERTY from an individual with only registered survey as the land documents. However, a registered survey is an important document in land transactions and it gives credence to the land for a number of reasons.
First, it shows that the person whose name appears on the land has a connection with the land. The person or company has supporting documents to show that the land in question is theirs. Second, it shows the land in question is free from government acquisition. Hence there is no encumbrance on the land and the land can be freely bought from the rightful owner.
