You've found a property, negotiated a price, and you're one wire transfer away from owning land in Abuja. Before that money leaves your account, run through this list — it takes less time than the transfer itself.
A registered Certificate of Occupancy or verifiable title
Ask for the document directly and cross-check it, not a promise that "it's coming." A serious developer shows you the paperwork before you pay a deposit.
A physical site you (or someone you trust) can inspect
Photos and renders aren't enough. Truss Construction's flagship development sits at Plot 362, Aduvie International Close, Kado/Jahi, FCT — a real, visitable address, not a coordinate on a brochure.
A direct line to a human, not a rotating sales inbox
When your buyer's journey depends on time-zone-friendly answers, you need one accountable contact — not a different agent every time you call.
A written payment schedule, not a verbal understanding
Every instalment, date, and balance should be on paper before the first transfer, so there's no ambiguity from Lagos, London, or Houston.
Proof the company is who it says it is
Registered company name, CAC status, and a track record you can check independently — not just testimonials on the website.
Clarity on service charges and estate management
Ask what happens after handover: who maintains roads, drainage, and security, and what that costs annually.
A named person who will still answer your call in 12 months
Estates get built over years. The relationship shouldn't end the moment your deposit clears.
Why buyers abroad choose to verify with Truss directly
Diaspora buyers don't have the luxury of dropping by unannounced. That's exactly why Truss Construction & Properties Limited builds its process around documentation you can review remotely, a single verified contact line, and a flagship site with a real address in Kado/Jahi you or your representative can inspect at any time.
