The process

Six steps from browsing to owning.

Buying property in Nigeria from abroad has always meant flying home, trusting family, or crossing your fingers. DiasporaKeys replaces all of that with a repeatable, documented process.

  1. Step 01

    Browse verified listings

    Every property on DiasporaKeys has already passed legal review and a physical inspection. What you see is real, available, and priced honestly.

  2. Step 02

    Meet your concierge on WhatsApp

    A dedicated diaspora concierge answers your questions, arranges tours, and stays with you through the entire process — one person, one thread.

  3. Step 03

    Live video walkthrough

    Our Lagos or Abuja team walks the property with you on video. Ask them to open every cupboard, check the tank, or knock on a wall.

  4. Step 04

    Independent legal verification

    Partner law firms verify title, encumbrances, and vendor identity at the Lands Registry. You receive the report before paying a cedi.

  5. Step 05

    Pay into licensed escrow

    Funds sit at a Nigerian commercial bank. They only move when the title is registered in your name. No exceptions, no shortcuts.

  6. Step 06

    Handover & optional management

    We collect the keys, ship you notarised docs, and — if you want — furnish, list, and rent the unit. Rent remits monthly to your foreign account.

Fees — simple and only after success

Browsing, video tours, and legal verification are free. We charge a flat 3.5% transaction fee only when your purchase closes, and only after title transfers to your name.
