CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION & FITNESS FOR HABITATION — What Every Smart Property Owner Should Know !


You’ve completed your building project... but hold on !


Before you move in or hand over those keys, there’s one final health check your property must pass — the Certificate of Completion and Fitness for Habitation (CCFH) issued by LASBCA (Lagos State Building Control Agency).


This isn’t just another piece of paper — it’s proof that your building is structurally sound, legally compliant, and safe for living or leasing. 


Here’s a quick dose of real estate wisdom from #TheRealEstateDoctor 👇


🩺 Steps to Obtain Your CCFH:


1️⃣ Start with a valid Planning Permit from LASPPPA.


2️⃣ Submit your Letter of Intention and Development Permit to LASBCA.

3️⃣ Site inspection will be conducted to confirm your land status.

4️⃣ A file is opened for your project at LASBCA.

5️⃣ Submit all required documents:


Stage inspection payment evidence


Letter of introduction by your project consultant


Structural stability report (for old buildings)


Approved drawings & builder’s documents


All-risk insurance (for 3 floors & above)

6️⃣ Get your Green Sticker and install your project board.

7️⃣ Invite LASBCA for inspections at every construction stage.

8️⃣ Once completed, a joint inspection confirms compliance — and voila! You get your Certificate of Completion & Fitness for Habitation.


💡 Without this certificate, your property may be deemed incomplete or unsafe — even if it looks beautiful!

WHAT A BUILDING PLAN IS AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT- By Dr. Adesina Mobarak

-
#FROMTHEARCHIVES #REVISIONCLASS I have to revisit this topic because of a call I got from a client few minutes ago, asking me about why she needs to get a  building plan and approval before she could start work on her land. Hence, the repost let's do revision: Please watch  VIDEO EXPLANATION HE RE Is it mandatory to get a Building plan and approval ? It is mandatory to get building plan approval, which is a permit from appropriate authorities in Nigeria before construction can commence. Getting a building plan approval is an indication that the building complies with building laws and regulations. Besides, it is evidence to proof that appropriate authorities or agencies are aware of such construction in the first place. Therefore, obtaining a Development Permit from the Government is very important. So, it is expected that stakeholders get building approval before mobilizing to site; and adhere strictly to them while construction is going on to avoid unwanted...
