Frequently Asked Questions

Typically you need a valid means of identification (National ID, Driver's License, or International Passport), proof of address, tax identification number (TIN), and payment evidence. For foreigners, you may also need a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) or Governor's Consent depending on the land title. Real Legend Homes guides every buyer through the exact documentation required for each specific property.

A straightforward cash purchase can be completed within 2 to 4 weeks. If you are using a mortgage or payment plan, it typically takes 6 to 12 weeks depending on the lender's approval timeline. We keep you updated at every stage and work with verified legal partners to ensure a smooth transfer.

Yes. Many of our properties — especially land and off-plan developments — come with flexible installment plans ranging from 3 months to 24 months. A down payment is usually required to secure the unit, and subsequent payments are structured monthly or quarterly. Contact our sales team for a tailored plan.

A Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) is the highest form of land title in Nigeria, issued by the state government. Governor's Consent is required when transferring a property that already has a C of O. Excision means the land has been formally released from government acquisition to the community or individual — it is a strong title and can be upgraded to a C of O. We only list properties with verifiable titles.

In Lagos and surrounding areas, the standard practice is 10% agency fee and 10% legal fee, calculated on the annual rent. Some landlords also require a caution or refundable damage deposit (usually 5% to 10%). We are transparent about all fees before you commit to any property.
