Find answers to common questions about how PropertyWahala works and how you can stay protected.

1. What is PropertyWahala.com?

PropertyWahala.com is Nigeria’s trusted platform for verifying property-related risks. We help users identify properties involved in disputes, ownership conflicts, takeovers, fraud, and other legal red flags before making any commitments.

2. Do you sell or advertise property?

No, we do not sell, rent, buy, or advertise property. Our platform exists solely to provide information about risky or flagged properties in Nigeria.

3. What kind of properties can I verify?

You can verify any type of property — land, houses, commercial buildings, etc. If it’s involved in a known dispute, scam, takeover, or legal issue and is in our database, we’ll show you.

4. Where does your property data come from?

Our data is gathered from court records, public documents, community reports, verified submissions, and investigations done by our team or partners. We also receive flagged reports from affected buyers and concerned citizens.

5. Is the information on PropertyWahala.com always up to date?

We update our database regularly, but property issues can evolve quickly. Always use our platform as your first checkpoint, and still consult a legal professional before closing any property deal.

6. Can I report a suspicious or disputed property?

Yes! You can report a property through our Dispute Report Form or WhatsApp chatbot. Each report is reviewed and, if verified, added to our database to warn others.

7. Is it free to use the platform?

Yes, basic property verification is free. Some advanced features or bulk search access may require a small fee in the future to support platform sustainability.

8. What happens if a property I plan to buy appears in your database?

This means the property has been flagged for some type of issue — such as court disputes, family ownership battles, or fraudulent claims. You should pause, investigate further, and seek legal advice immediately.

9. Is PropertyWahala.com affiliated with the government?

No, we are an independent platform, but we collaborate with legal experts, journalists, and communities to ensure the information we publish is as accurate and credible as possible.

10. Can a property be removed from your database?

Yes, but only after a thorough review. If the dispute has been legally resolved or the flag was posted in error, you can submit documentation and apply for delisting via our Property Correction Form.
