Buy or rent property in Nigeria from Spain
Many Nigerians living in Spain send money home regularly, and property is often the next step. Before any deposit leaves your account, you should know the firm is registered and real. Woland verifies firms first, and lets you contact them directly.
Before you send any money
- ✓ Confirm the firm is registered (Woland checks this before a firm can list).
- ✓ Ask for the title documents and have an independent Nigerian lawyer review them. Do not rely only on the seller's lawyer.
- ✓ Have the land or property checked at the relevant state land registry before you pay.
- ✓ Pay into a registered company account, never a personal account, and keep every receipt.
- ✓ Insist on a live video tour of the exact property, not only photos.
- ✓ Never send money because of pressure or a "last day" offer.
This is general guidance, not legal advice. Always use an independent Nigerian lawyer for your transaction. See our full step-by-step guide to how we verify firms for more detail.

Common questions
Can I buy property in Nigeria while living in Spain?
Yes. Many Nigerians in Spain buy property back home without travelling. The key is working with a verified firm, using an independent lawyer, and viewing the property by live video before you pay.
How do I know a real estate firm in Nigeria is genuine?
Check that the firm is a registered company, has a real office address, and is willing to share documents. On Woland, every listed firm has passed a registration check and has a public profile.
How do viewings work from abroad?
Spain is 0–1 hour ahead of Nigeria, so there is almost no time difference for calls and video tours. Look for firms marked Diaspora-friendly, they are set up for video tours and remote communication.
Which currency will I pay in?
Property in Nigeria is normally priced in Naira. Your EUR (€) will be converted, so agree the rate and payment route in writing with the firm and your bank before you transfer.
