Land Title Verification & Due Diligence in Hohoe

What to consider when buying land in Hohoe
For Hohoe land, we give particular attention to the relationship between the site plan, the physical boundaries and any older descriptions supplied by the seller. The objective is to establish that the parcel being purchased is the parcel documented in the transaction.
What we check in Hohoe
For a Hohoe property, our checks should answer three practical questions: who has the right to deal with the land, whether the transaction is supported by the relevant records and consents, and whether the land described in the documents is the same land being offered to you.
- Confirm the current land record and search for registered interests affecting the Hohoe parcel.
- Establish how the current seller came to hold the interest by tracing the ownership or allocation history back far enough to confirm it.
- Where the tenure arrangement calls for family, stool, skin or other customary consent, confirm that consent has actually been given.
- Check the site plan and documentary description against the actual parcel on the ground, involving a licensed surveyor wherever a physical boundary check is required.
