The Property Loan Note is a crucial document in Nigerian financial transactions where real estate is used as security for lending. This document type is commonly used when a borrower seeks financing against property assets, whether for property acquisition, development, or other business purposes. The note must comply with Nigerian banking regulations, particularly the Central Bank of Nigeria guidelines, and property laws including the Land Use Act 1978. It typically includes comprehensive details about the loan facility, property security, repayment terms, and enforcement mechanisms. The Property Loan Note is particularly important in the Nigerian context due to specific local requirements for land ownership, registration, and security creation.
