The Post Possession Agreement is a vital legal instrument in Nigerian property transactions where a buyer takes possession of a property before the completion of the sale process. This scenario commonly arises in situations involving installment payments, pending mortgage arrangements, or ongoing administrative processes such as governor's consent or title perfection. The agreement protects both parties' interests during this interim period by clearly defining possession rights, payment obligations, property maintenance responsibilities, and risk allocation. It must comply with Nigerian federal and state property laws, particularly the Land Use Act, and includes provisions for insurance, utilities, maintenance, and default remedies. This document is especially crucial in Nigeria's property market where completion of property transactions can be prolonged due to administrative requirements and payment structures.
