A surveyor would visit the plot and walk its boundary.
A search would be run at the relevant land registry and Governor's Consent confirmed.

The Tier 4 Title Check Pack documents the chain of title as traced at the Land Registry on the date of verification. It is not a title-insurance product and does not indemnify the buyer against future title defects, forged antecedent documents discovered after verification, or encumbrances that were not registrable at the time of the search.
Where a listing carries Tier 3 site verification, it reflects the condition of the plot at the time the person named on the listing attended the site. Conditions on the ground may change between verification and purchase: access routes can be obstructed, encroachments can occur, and neighbourhood development can alter the setting. Buyers should re-inspect before committing funds.
Where a listing records a check performed by a professional outside Land and More, such as a lawyer regulated by a Nigerian State Bar or a surveyor registered with the Surveyors Council of Nigeria (SURCON), that professional exercises their own judgement, which Land and More does not control. The professional who performed a check, not Land and More, is responsible for the accuracy of that check.
Tier 2 Documents Checked confirms that title deeds, survey plans, and supporting paperwork are present, legibly executed, and internally consistent. It does not adjudicate every possible legal validity question that could later be raised in dispute, for example, the authenticity of an antecedent vendor’s signature or the capacity of a historical executor. Where these matters are material, buyers should commission a full title trace (Tier 4) or instruct their own counsel to conduct a bespoke investigation.
Amber and red risk flags surfaced on a listing are advisory annotations produced during verification: unpaved access, pending Governor’s Consent, older survey plan, and similar. They highlight matters a prudent buyer should investigate further. The absence of a flag does not imply the plot is free from all concerns; it means nothing that triggered our flag rules was observed during the specific verification exercise.
