Property Law & Real Estate
Property & Real Estate Lawyers In Abuja
We help you buy, sell, lease, develop, and protect property with clear, reliable legal strategies that save you time and prevent costly mistakes.
Understand The Deal Before You Sign
Property deals can look straightforward on the surface, but every detail matters. Titles, boundaries, permits, taxes, hidden obligations. Miss a defect in title or an obligation in the contract, and you could face delays, unexpected costs, or even litigation years later.
Understanding the legal impact before you buy, sell, or develop is essential, as this can be the difference between a smooth transaction and a costly problem. Nigerian property law sets out strict requirements for documentation, registration, taxes, and dispute resolution.
Polaris Solicitors don’t just help you process documents, we identify risks, explain your rights, and structure deals so you’re protected legally and commercially.

Frequently Asked Questions
We conduct title searches and verify documents at the relevant land registries. This process uncovers any encumbrances, competing claims, or defects before you buy.
A lease typically covers a longer period and grants stronger rights, while a tenancy agreement is usually short-term and more flexible. We’ll advise which one suits your situation and draft it to protect your interests.
Foreign ownership is possible under certain conditions, often through local entities or approvals. We guide non-Nigerian clients through the legal framework to ensure compliance.
Gather all your documents, maps, and any correspondence relating to the property, then contact us immediately. We’ll review your rights and recommend the best approach, negotiation, mediation, or litigation, to resolve the issue.
