Secure & decide

Know before you invest.

A poorly checked plot can cost far more than its price. We check before you pay, and we tell you the truth, even when it is not what you hoped to hear.

Our services

Pre-purchase audit

Your challenge: A seller in a hurry, documents that are hard to read, land sometimes sold twice: you risk paying for a property that will never truly be yours.

What we do: title check with the ANDF (National Land Agency), boundary check by a surveyor we appoint, enquiry into the surroundings and neighbourhood, price estimate, and a written report within 10 working days with our opinion: buy or not, and on what conditions.

What you gain: you decide on verified facts, not on someone's word. And if we advise against buying, you avoid losing several million.

Secure an existing property

Your challenge: You own land or a house on the strength of a sales agreement or a customary document: at any time, an heir, a neighbour or a previous buyer can challenge it.

What we do: review of your documents, preparation of the file, follow-up with the ANDF until the Land Ownership Certificate (CPF), the final title, is issued, with a progress update every month.

What you gain: a final title in your name to sell, pass on or borrow, without having to handle the paperwork yourself.

Investment strategy

Your challenge: You have a budget but too many options (land, a house, rental units, neighbourhoods) and conflicting advice from those around you.

What we do: 3 scenarios compared (cost, rent, yield), suitable neighbourhoods, a roadmap and a one-hour presentation session, delivered within 15 working days.

What you gain: you know what to buy, where and why, before committing a single franc.

An independent opinion

  • A self-contained assignment

    The audit is a separate service: it commits you to nothing else, neither construction nor management.

  • We can say no

    If the file is not safe, we advise you against buying, and we explain why.

  • No follow-up imposed

    You are free to build or manage your property with whoever you choose. Our opinion does not depend on what comes next.

Self-assessment

Are you ready to buy this plot?

Your result

0 / 5

Several essential checks are missing: do not make any payment at this stage.

Your questions

What if you advise me not to buy?

You will have paid for an audit to avoid losing several million. The report explains why, and what would be needed to make the deal safe. The audit fee remains due, whatever our opinion.

What are the ANDF and the CPF?

The National Land Agency (ANDF) keeps Benin's land registers. The Land Ownership Certificate (CPF) is the final title proving ownership of a plot. Land without a CPF is not necessarily to be avoided, but it requires more thorough checks.

What costs are added to your fees?

Only the ANDF fees and the surveyor's fees. They depend on the size and value of the land: we send you the quote before committing them, then re-invoice them against receipts.

Can I order an audit from abroad?

Yes. Everything is done remotely: engagement letter signed electronically, payment by bank transfer, report sent by email and presented by video call.
