Ownland Limited

What Ownland Limited does

Ownland Limited is a Nigerian private limited company headquartered in Sangotedo, Lagos, that operates a web-based due diligence platform for land acquisition. Founded in 2022 and staffed by six employees, the company offers two integrated services: Land Verification, which audits ownership history, validates title documents, conducts physical boundary surveys, and checks for encumbrances such as disputes, liens, or government claims; and Land Sourcing, which proactively finds conflict-free land matched to a client's budget, location, and intended use. Both services are backed by a 150% Money-Back Guarantee that refunds 150% of the customer's investment if a verified or sourced property later surfaces legal or ownership issues.

The platform is delivered through a self-serve website (ownland.ng) where customers submit requests via structured online forms; a dedicated relationship manager is then assigned to handle due diligence, site visits, and legal coordination through purchase finalization. Verification reports are delivered within 7-14 working days. The revenue model is purely transactional: a non-refundable 1% fee of property value for verification and a non-refundable 5% fee for sourcing, with no recurring subscription component. The customer base is composed primarily of individual first-time and experienced land buyers, supplemented by small agribusiness operators, all served on a one-off deal basis.

Ownland has not raised disclosed institutional funding, has no subsidiaries or parent entity, and currently operates from a single Lagos office. Its operating geography is listed as Lagos, though customer testimonials reference deals extending into Ogun State. The company has achieved NDPR and NDPA data-protection compliance and has earned media coverage in The Guardian, Business Day, This Day Live, and Independent Nigeria to support brand credibility in the Nigerian real estate market.

Broad incumbents

• Compass: US real estate technology and brokerage platform combining agent networks with technology-driven transaction tools. Comparable as a broad incumbent digitizing parts of the buying process Ownland also serves.
• Zillow: Major US-based real estate platform offering listings, valuation, and transaction services. Broader incumbent whose ownership-verification and transaction features partially overlap Ownland's value proposition.
• Redfin: US real estate brokerage and technology company providing listing, agent, and transaction services. A broad incumbent whose due diligence and closing workflows partially overlap Ownland's offering.

Direct peers

• PropertyPro.ng: Leading Nigerian real estate marketplace that surfaces listings and connects buyers with agents. Competes with Ownland for the Nigerian land-buyer audience and increasingly overlaps into verification and due diligence features.
• LandInsight: UK land and property data platform providing site analysis, title checks, and due diligence tooling for land buyers and developers. Comparable to Ownland in its focus on pre-purchase land intelligence.
• Nigeria Property Centre: Long-standing Nigerian property listings platform serving individual buyers and SMEs. Targets the same buyer personas as Ownland and represents a potential adjacency or competitive threat on the sourcing side.
• HouseAfrica: Nigerian proptech startup working on property data, verification, and transaction tools for the local market — a close peer to Ownland in both geography and product category.
• Seso Global: UK-based property transaction and due diligence platform that verifies titles, manages documentation, and coordinates closings on behalf of buyers — directly comparable to Ownland's verification and sourcing model, just in a different geography.
