Find answers to common questions about how PropertyWahala works and how you can stay protected.
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.
No, we do not sell, rent, buy, or advertise property. Our platform exists solely to provide information about risky or flagged properties in Nigeria.
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.
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.
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.

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.
