Imo Property Search (IPS) is a subsidiary of Durex Properties Limited, a licensed real estate firm operating in Nigeria. IPS serves as a search engine, facilitating the search for verified properties available for sale or rent in Imo State. Through its extensive network of registered agents, verified properties are uploaded on the website. We also supervise, monitor, and go for inspection on choice properties.
✔️ IMO STATE MINISTRY OF LANDS, SURVEY AND URBAN PLANNING (also known as IMOGIS):
In the world of real estate—especially in a place like Imo State—the "eye test" means nothing compared to what is written in the government archives. Verifying a property at the Ministry of Lands, Survey and Urban Planning in Owerri is the only way to ensure you aren't buying a "bridge to nowhere" or a piece of land the government already earmarked for a future highway or hospital project. Based on this fact, we go as far as visiting the Imo State Ministry of Lands, Survey and Urban Planning, where we further verify land, to know if it is under government acquisition or if the land has been documented for someone or for a government project.
✔️ OWERRI CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHOURITY (OCDA):
As property agents, we collaborate with the Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA). This has enabled us to verify land status, confirm approved layouts and zones, assist clients to obtain development approvals, promote compliance with planning regulations, and providing accurate planning information. This partnership helps ensure that property transactions are legal, transparent, and beneficial to both investors and the government. Colaborating with OCDA have positioned us, not just as a land seller but as a professional real estate consultant who helps clients acquire land that is legally compliant and suitable for their intended use. This has significantly improve our reputation and lead to more referrals and repeat business.
✔️ COMMUNITY CHECK (CC):
Engaging with community heads and youth leaders has been helpful to us. As property agents, we engage with community heads (Eze), elders, and youth leaders to provide further details about properties for sale, confirm land ownership, clarify boundaries, and share important information about the land. We also use this relationship to verify the history of the property, identify any disputes or restrictions, and ensure that buyers receive accurate and reliable information before making a decision. This collaboration helps ensure transparency, builds trust, reduces the risk of conflict, and supports smooth and credible property transactions.
