Property and real estate remain some of the most contested and sensitive areas of law in Nigeria, where issues of land ownership, tenancy, and inheritance frequently arise. At Sambo Muritala & Co, we provide comprehensive legal services across the entire spectrum of property law, ensuring that our clients’ rights and investments are secure.

Our practice includes advising clients on land acquisition, conducting title searches, and drafting conveyancing documents to ensure valid transfers. We have helped numerous individuals and organizations acquire property without falling victim to fraudulent sellers or defective titles. In one of our engagements, we successfully prevented a client from purchasing land that was under government acquisition, saving them from potential financial loss.

Tenancy law is another major focus of our practice. We draft and review tenancy agreements that balance the rights of both landlords and tenants while ensuring compliance with applicable tenancy laws. We also represent clients in tenancy disputes, including wrongful evictions, arrears recovery, and breach of tenancy terms. In the past, we have successfully defended tenants against illegal ejections and equally secured judgments in favor of landlords against tenants who defaulted on rent obligations.

Property disputes are often complex and emotionally charged, particularly in family contexts. Our litigation team has handled numerous land disputes, boundary issues, and inheritance claims, achieving favorable outcomes through negotiation, litigation, or alternative dispute resolution. For example, we represented a community in a longstanding boundary dispute with a neighboring village and secured a settlement that prevented potential violence while safeguarding communal land rights.

In addition, we advise corporate clients on real estate investments, property development, and regulatory compliance. We have assisted construction companies with drafting joint venture agreements, securing government approvals, and resolving disputes with subcontractors.
