Check a plot of land in Cotonou

A partner surveyor goes to the plot and checks the boundary markers, the size and whether anyone is using it. An agent checks with the ANDF offices (the national land and state property agency) when the documents allow. You get a signed report before you pay the seller.

Benin: Teewal is not open yet

Nothing is carried out in Cotonou yet. Leave your request: you will be told when it opens, and you only pay once a vetted agent is available.

Step by step

How it works

  1. You send what you have

    Location, site plan, the land ownership certificate (CPF) or sale agreement, the seller's name.

  2. The surveyor goes on site

    Boundary markers, size, access, neighbours, any building or occupation.

  3. The papers are checked

    An agent checks with the ANDF offices (the national land and state property agency), when the documents allow.

  4. You get the signed report

    What matches, what doesn't, and what to check before you sign.

In CotonouIn Benin, some land has a land ownership certificate (certificat de propriété foncière, or CPF), but much more is sold with a sale agreement (convention de vente). The report says which paper you were shown and what the offices consulted said about it. For the legal value of a paper, see a notary.

The proof

The proof you keep
