Frequently Asked

The questions buyers actually ask.

Honest answers to the questions diaspora buyers and local buyers most often ask before registering interest. If your question is not here, WhatsApp us directly.

Right now, no money is being taken at all. Registering interest is free and refundable. We are deliberately not opening reservations until Governor's Consent is granted and the Deed of Assignment is fully registered at the Lands Registry.

When reservations open, all payments will follow a milestone payment plan tied to verified construction progress. You pay as the build advances, not upfront.

Denial is uncommon for residential developments on properly sub-divided land with verified title, but the process does take 3 to 6 months and occasionally longer. Our solicitors, Bashmash Solicitors, manage the application and respond to any Lands Bureau queries.

In the unlikely event Consent is denied, no buyer is committed to anything (because reservations only open after Consent). The land remains in LivMalik's name under the Deed of Assignment, and we would address the specific objection raised before re-applying.

This is why we are not taking deposits before Consent. We do not ask buyers to share legal risk we have not yet cleared ourselves.

Legal ownership transfers at handover, when the Deed of Sub-Underlease is signed and registered in your name at the Oyo State Lands Registry. This is typically the same week as physical handover and the final 10% milestone payment.

From the date your reservation is signed (10% reservation deposit), you have a contractual right to the specific home (Àríkẹ́, Ivory, or Adé) but not yet legal ownership. Full title transfer happens at handover.

Absolutely. We strongly recommend you do. Every sale agreement, Deed of Sub-Underlease, and related document is shared with your lawyer for independent review before signing. If you do not have a Nigerian lawyer, we will introduce you to two independent Ibadan firms (we do not take referral fees).

UK and US lawyers are welcome to review on your behalf as well, working alongside a Nigerian solicitor to handle the local-law specifics.

Yes. We host in-person site visits every Saturday morning. WhatsApp us in advance and we will confirm your slot, share the exact location, and meet you at the gate.

If you are abroad and cannot fly in, we run live WhatsApp video site tours every Saturday at 3:00pm Nigeria time (WAT). That is 10:00am New York, 3:00pm London, 7:00am Los Angeles. Bring your lawyer or family member on the call.

₦250M is the all-in price for a complete, finished four-bedroom home: structure, roofing, plumbing, electrical, internal finishes, fitted kitchen, ensuite bathrooms, painted walls, and tiled floors throughout. The price also covers the land share (your specific plot of 416 sqm net, 456 sqm gross), the perimeter wall, gated entry, and the shared driveway.

The price does not include: legal fees for your own lawyer (1 to 2% typical), stamp duty and title registration (~3%), Governor's Consent fees (under 1%), or ongoing property taxes (Tenement Rate). Furnishings and white goods are buyer's choice and cost.

At the current CBN rate, ₦250M is approximately $185,000 USD. Diaspora buyers can transact in USD locked at the signing-date rate.

Project I is three houses because that is what we can build with integrity in one go. Three identical specifications, one site, one crew, one materials brief, simultaneously. It is the right size for our first project.

Project II will open when the buyers of Project I are in their kitchens, not before. We do not announce future projects to take deposits against unfinished work. It is the single biggest pattern that distinguishes serious developers from speculative ones in the Nigerian market.

Three structural reasons, in order of importance.

One. Payments are tied to verified construction milestones. You pay as the build progresses - 25% at signing, 25% at roofing, 25% at finishing, 15% at handover. You are paying for completed work, not promises.

Two. The title chain is documented and verifiable. The Certificate of Statutory Right of Occupancy (Volume 3053, Page 60), the sub-division approval (reference LLA 0647/T/21), and the Deed of Assignment in our founder's name are all on file at the Ministry of Lands and the Lands Registry, Ibadan. You can verify them today, without us.

Three. The build is documented in public every week. If you can see foundations being poured, walls going up, and roofs being fitted, with photographs dated each Monday, the build is happening. We are not asking you to trust us. We are asking you to verify us.

Some, within reason. The structural design, layout, and core specification are locked. Within that, you can customise paint colours, kitchen fittings (within an agreed budget), bathroom tiles, and certain fixtures, provided your choices are committed before the relevant build milestone.

If your buyer's lawyer flags a substantial customisation request, we discuss it as a sale-agreement variation. Variations have specific cost and time implications, agreed in writing before work proceeds.

The sale agreement includes a 12-month defects liability period from the date of handover. During this period, structural defects, plumbing or electrical faults, and finishing failures are remedied by LivMalik at our cost. You report defects through a dedicated handover-aftercare channel (email and WhatsApp) and our project manager schedules the repair.

Beyond the 12-month period, individual systems (roofing, plumbing, electrical) carry their own manufacturer warranties, transferred to you at handover.
