A Deed of Assignment is the document that transfers ownership from the seller to you. It is usually the first document you receive after purchase and should be registered promptly.
A Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) is issued by the state government and confirms that you hold the right to occupy and use the land for a specified period, typically 99 years. Not all land in Delta State has an existing C of O, but the process to obtain one can be initiated after purchase.
Governor's Consent is required when land that already has a C of O is being transferred to a new owner ÔÇö without it, the transfer is not considered fully legal under the Land Use Act.
A Survey Plan, prepared by a licensed surveyor, defines the exact boundaries and size of your plot and is required for almost every other stage of documentation.
Navigating this process alone can be time-consuming, which is why our team at Herpavilion supports clients through documentation from the point of purchase, whether the land is in Asaba, Okpanam, Ibusa or elsewhere in Delta State.
