Poor documentation is slowing down property transactions in Nigeria. A new report by U.S.-based proptech firm Contract2Close.com reveals that disorganized paperwork, weak communication, and lack of transparency are harming investor confidence and delaying deals.
The company made this announcement while launching its new platform, NG.Contract2Close.com, in Nigeria. This digital tool is designed to improve how property deals are managed from start to finish.
Major cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt continue to attract both local and foreign investors. But many property deals are slowed by manual, paper-based systems that are prone to mistakes.
“We’re seeing high interest in real estate, but transaction bottlenecks are holding the sector back,” the company said.
Contract2Close (C2C) is a digital platform that helps real estate professionals manage every step of a transaction. Users can create contracts, track tasks, upload documents, and communicate with clients in one secure place.
“C2C was built from the ground up by people who understand real estate,” she said.
“We’ve tailored it for the Nigerian market to make transactions easier, faster, and more reliable.”
The platform has already seen wide adoption in the United States. Its Nigerian version is simplified to meet local needs and priced so that the average agent can afford it.
Gbenga Ismail, Managing Partner at Gbenga Ismail & Partners, welcomed the platform.
“It’s what we’ve been missing structure, discipline, and clarity,” he said.
“This tool gives agents everything they need to move deals from start to finish.”
“It reduces errors, builds trust, and improves the experience for both agents and clients.”
As over 70% of new property investments in Nigeria now come from the diaspora, tools like NG.Contract2Close.com can help bridge the gap between local challenges and global expectations.
By making transactions faster and more transparent, the platform could play a key role in modernizing Nigeria’s growing real estate market.
