Background of the Study
The real estate sector in Nigeria is governed by various legal and regulatory frameworks, which are designed to ensure transparency, protect property rights, and maintain market stability. However, the effectiveness of these frameworks in addressing issues such as property ownership disputes, land title registration, and fraudulent transactions remains a matter of concern, especially in states like Taraba. Inadequate enforcement of regulations, lack of awareness among stakeholders, and ambiguous legal provisions often lead to complications in property transactions (Jibrin & Musa, 2024).
Taraba State, located in the northeastern region of Nigeria, faces unique challenges in its real estate market. These include unregistered properties, illegal land grabs, and conflicts arising from unclear ownership rights. Inadequate regulatory frameworks in the state may contribute to a lack of investor confidence and hinder the growth of the real estate market. This study will evaluate the regulatory frameworks governing real estate transactions in Taraba State, assessing their effectiveness in addressing property-related disputes and ensuring transparency in the real estate market.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the existence of regulations governing real estate transactions in Taraba State, challenges such as land disputes, unregistered transactions, and fraudulent practices persist. The lack of a comprehensive and effective regulatory framework may be contributing to these challenges, which in turn affects the stability of the real estate market in the state. This study will evaluate the regulatory frameworks in place and assess their ability to address these issues, providing recommendations for improving governance in real estate transactions.
