Hello Forum Members,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, I want to shed light on a crucial topic for anyone involved in property transactions or land-related matters in Lagos State - determining the authenticity of a record copy of a survey plan. Let's dive into the details and make things clear.

Understanding the Basics
Survey Plan:
A survey plan is like the blueprint of a property. It precisely outlines the boundaries, coordinates, and other vital details of a piece of land. It's the map you consult when navigating through the complexities of land ownership and transactions.

Record Copy (Red Copy):
Now, let's talk about the record copy, often informally known as the "red copy." This is not the copy handed to the landowner; rather, it's a formal version deposited in the office of the Surveyor General of Lagos State. Think of it as the master record, akin to the original manuscript of a book.

Evidence of Lodgement:
When a surveyor submits the record copy to the Surveyor General's office, they receive evidence of lodgement. This is a receipt, so to speak, confirming that the official record has been submitted. Just like you'd get a receipt when you deposit money in a bank.

Attached below is a sample of evidence of lodgement in Lagos state.
