The Remote Acquisition Roadmap

How It Works: 4 Simple Steps

STEP 01
Tailored Shortlist & Video Walkthrough

We curate verified properties matching your budget and investment goals. Our team conducts full, high-definition video walkthroughs covering the property, perimeter, road access, and surrounding neighborhood.

  • Raw, unedited footage on request
  • Drone view & neighborhood infrastructure assessment
STEP 02
Deep Due Diligence & Title Search

Before you commit any deposit, our legal team conducts comprehensive registry searches, coordinates charting with the Surveyor-General, and verifies root of title with official documented proof.

  • Official Land Registry search report shared with you
  • Excision, Gazette & coordinate confirmation
STEP 03
Notarised Power of Attorney (POA)

We provide legally compliant Power of Attorney templates tailored to your jurisdiction. Once notarised and apostilled abroad, your trusted representative or our legal counsel can execute deeds on your behalf.

  • Full legal guidance on notarisation in UK, US, Canada & EU
  • Strict restriction of authority to the specific purchase
STEP 04
Live Video Conferencing & Sign-Off

Once your notarised Power of Attorney is in place, we hold a live video session with you and our legal counsel to walk through the final documents, answer your questions in real time, and secure your sign-off to complete the purchase fully remotely.

  • Real-time, screen-shared review of your due diligence report and purchase documents
  • Recorded session summary shared to your inbox for your records
The Difference

Diaspora Investing: The Traditional Risk vs. The Capiboss Way

✕
The Unverified / Informal Route
  • • Relying on family or friends who lack legal & surveyor expertise.
  • • Purchasing land under committed government acquisition without knowing.
  • • Inflated pricing and hidden markups without verifiable sales history.
  • • Unperfected title left dormant, exposing you to fraudulent resale.
✓
The Capiboss Standard
  • • Qualified land surveyors & registered property lawyers handle each step.
  • • Official Land Registry searches and coordinate charting prior to any payment.
  • • Direct developer/seller pricing with clear, itemized closing cost breakdowns.
  • • Complete Governor's Consent and title perfection with courier delivery.

Real Estate Terminology Guide

Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
Supreme Title

The premier land title issued by the state governor, conferring legal rights to occupy and use land for a specified term (typically 99 years).

Governor's Consent
Statutory Approval

Mandatory approval from the state governor for subsequent transfers of land rights already holding a C of O or deemed grant. Without it, transactions remain inchoate.

Deed of Assignment
Transfer Instrument

The principal legal agreement between seller and buyer transferring unexpired leasehold ownership. Must be stamped and registered at the land registry to bind third parties.

Registered Survey Plan
Geospatial Record

An official surveyor's plan detailing boundary beacon numbers, coordinates, and exact acreage. Must be charted and lodged at the state Surveyor-General's office.

Gazette & Excision
Government Status

Excision is government release of land from global acquisition status back to original communities. When published in the official government Gazette, the land is free for title registration.

Land Registry Search
Registry Check

An exhaustive search conducted at the Lands Registry to verify true registered ownership, discover active mortgages, court caveats, lis pendens, or rival registrations.

Power of Attorney (POA)
Legal Representation

A formal instrument authorising a legal representative to execute contracts and sign conveyance documents. For diaspora buyers, must be notarised in their country of residence.

Stamping & Title Perfection
Legal Perfection

Payment of required ad valorem stamp duties to state revenue authorities, followed by formal registration and charting in the Land Registry archives.
