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 πŸ‘‡


🩺 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.


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

REASONS YOU HAVE TO GET GOVERNOR’S CONSENT OR CERTFICATE OF OCCUPANCY ON YOUR PROPERTY..

-
The promulgation the Land Use Decree (later the Land Use Act) in 1978 brought about the vesting of exclusive powers over land within the territory of any given State in the Governor of the State. The effect was that radical ownership of land was vested in the Governor and private persons were only entitled to a leasehold interest through a right of occupancy. The Act further requires that the consent of the Governor has to be obtained prior to any method of alienation or assignment of property by the holder of a right of occupancy. The effect of this was that any assignment of interests or mortgages required the consent of the Governor to be legally enforceable. Whether there was coercion or not, the law under section 22(2) of the Land use Act recognizes cases where some form of written agreement executed in evidence of a transaction is submitted to the Governor in order to obtain consent as required by the section. Therefore, for a transaction of this nature to be valid,...

LEGAL AND ILLEGAL LEVIES DURING AND BEFORE SITE POSSESSION (1) BY DR ADESINA

There are lots of fees, both legal and illegal, during Land possession which mostly are unknown to prospective buyers during negotiations and payment process. And here, I am much particular about land purchased from Community or ancestral land owners (Omo Oniles) using Lagos as case study. Most of these levies are illegal as pronounced by the Lagos Property Protection Law, 2016.  But for one reason or the other, a lot of buyers are still unable to utilise this aspect of the law due to poor enforcement on the part of relevant authorities, lack of awareness of these extant laws and other interests surrounding land acquisition hence they pay such levies based on ignorance. Though, a  Note of Caution here, most times diplomacy is the best approach to such cases so as to fall at your advantage as Nigeria terrain is concerned. The aim of this write up is majorly to raise your awareness before such occurrence so as to be prepared and alert. So let's check some of this co...

Relax  Sir/Ma,  I am Dr. Adesina Mobarak (The real estate Untangler) and I have answered your questions here πŸ‘‡ A planning permit is a legal document that permits the use or development of a particular piece of land.  The Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) is responsible for the issuance of planning permit or building plan approval in Lagos State.  The Official Headquarters of the Agency is located along LASPPPA Road, off Oba Akinjobi Road, Ikeja Old Secretariat, Ikeja- Lagos State, Nigeria. Local Town Planning District Offices are locations where you can get information and begin the process of your building plan approval.  π™π™π™šπ™§π™š π™–π™§π™š 20 π™™π™žπ™¨π™©π™§π™žπ™˜π™© π™€π™›π™›π™žπ™˜π™šπ™¨ π™¨π™šπ™§π™«π™žπ™£π™œ π™šπ™–π™˜π™ 𝙀𝙛 π™©π™π™š 20 π™‡π™‚π˜Όπ™¨ 𝙖𝙣𝙙 52 π™‡π˜Ύπ˜Ώπ˜Όπ™¨ π™žπ™£ π™‡π™–π™œπ™€π™¨.  Below are the town planning district offices in Lagos along with their locations and the areas they cover. 1.
