The Real Estate Exchange Agreement is a specialized contract used in Nigeria when two parties wish to exchange ownership of real estate properties instead of conducting a traditional sale and purchase transaction. This document type is particularly useful when parties find mutual benefit in exchanging properties rather than engaging in monetary transactions, though it can include provisions for monetary adjustments if the properties have different values. The agreement must comply with the Land Use Act 1978 and relevant state land laws, requiring Governor's consent for property transfers. It includes detailed property descriptions, warranties about title and condition, completion procedures, and necessary provisions for registration with land authorities. The document is commonly used by both individual property owners and corporate entities for various property types, including residential, commercial, and industrial real estate.
