SwiftVerify · Independent property verification

Don't buy property on trust. Buy it on evidence.

SwiftVerify is our independent inspection and verification arm. We stand on the land, check the title, watch the build, and hand you a documented report, so you invest on facts, not on someone's word.

On the ground

See what verification looks like

Property checks are physical, documented and evidence-based. We inspect what is actually on the ground, not just what appears in a listing.

The real risk

In Nigerian property, the costliest mistake isn't the price.

It's paying for something that isn't what you were told. These are the losses SwiftVerify exists to prevent.

Titles that don't hold up

Documents that look right on paper but won't survive scrutiny, or a search you never ran.

Land sold to two buyers

The same plot quietly sold more than once, or family land no single person can actually sell.

A build that never rises

A deposit paid on a project that stalls at the foundation, or never breaks ground at all.

No one accountable on site

A relative managing your build from afar who can't account for the money, and no independent record.

You can't judge any of this from a photo or a phone call. SwiftVerify puts someone you trust on the ground, and puts what they find in writing.

What a check covers

Nine checks, one clear report

Take the full engagement, or just the parts your deal needs. Every check ends in documented, defensible evidence.

01

Property Inspection

A physical, on-site check of structure, finishing, access and surroundings.

02

Property Verification

Confirm the property exists as described and matches the listing and paperwork.

03

Ownership Verification

Trace who truly owns it and surface disputed or double-sold land.

04

Site Assessment

Land, boundaries, terrain and neighbourhood assessed with full context.

05

Construction Monitoring

On-site checks and photo updates confirm your money is turning into the structure you paid for.

06

Project Supervision

We oversee work against plan and budget so quality and timelines don't slip.

07

Owner Representation

We act on your behalf at inspections, handovers and meetings.

08

Due Diligence

Title searches, encumbrances, approvals and risk documented in writing.

09

Documented Reports

Every check ends in a clear, evidence-backed report you can act on.

How it works

From enquiry to evidence, in four steps

1

Tell us the property

Share the listing, address, or plot details and what you need checked.

2

We go on the ground

We inspect and photograph the site, verify title and ownership, and assess the land.

3

You get a report

Findings, dated evidence and any red flags are documented in writing.

4

Decide with confidence

Buy, negotiate or walk away, based on evidence rather than assumptions.

Who it's for

Built for anyone who can't be in two places at once

Diaspora investors

Buying or building from abroad

You can't fly in for every inspection or handover. We become your eyes and hands on the ground and keep you updated with evidence.

Local buyers & investors

Serious about the deal, not the risk

Verify before you pay, catch problems while they're still cheap to fix, and negotiate from a position of proof.

Developers & absentee owners

You own it, but you're not always there

We monitor construction, supervise projects and represent your interests on site.

What you walk away with

A decision you can defend

Every SwiftVerify engagement ends with a documented report you keep. It's independent, evidence-based and designed to help you make a better property decision.

✓ Independent, with no stake in the sale.
✓ Documented, with dated photos and written findings.
✓ Defensible, giving you a record you can act on and share.

Our reports are supported by real site observations and photographic evidence, giving you more than a verbal confirmation.

Questions

SwiftVerify, answered

How do I know your verification is genuinely independent? +

SwiftVerify has no stake in whether you buy. We're paid to check the property and report what we find, including when the answer is "walk away."

Can you help if I'm abroad? +

Yes. We act as your eyes and hands on the ground, send documented updates, and can represent you at inspections and handovers.

What's actually in a verification report? +

Depending on the checks you choose, the report can cover ownership, title status, physical site condition, survey and boundary findings, encumbrances, construction progress and photographic evidence.

Do you only cover Kano, or other areas too? +

Our head office is in Kano, and we serve clients across Nigeria and abroad. Tell us where the property is and we'll confirm coverage.

What does a check cost? +

It depends on the property, location and checks required. Tell us about the property and we'll provide a clear quote before work starts.

What happens if you find a problem? +

We document the issue with evidence and explain what it means, so you can renegotiate, request a correction or walk away.
