Motherland Properties

How it works

Seven stages. At every one, something we refuse to do.

A property moves through Verification, Title perfection, Acquisition, Build supervision, Furnishing, Letting and facilities and Distribution and payout. You can join at any stage. Each has a fee and a refusal: something the system will not do, even when asked.

  • 7 stages
  • 3 movements
  • 7 refusals

The shape of it

Seven stages, in three movements.

The same grouping the rest of this site uses.

  1. Stages 01–02

    We verify, and we say no

    Read verification

  2. Stages 03–05

    Money moves on rails you can see

    Read acquisition

  3. Stages 06–07

    You are paid, and shown the working

    Read letting and facilities

Stages 01–02

We verify, and we say no

Verification and Title perfection. What each one produces, what it costs, and what it refuses.

  1. Stage 01 of 07

    Verification

    We check it, and we write down what we found.

    What you get
    A written verdict, with the name of whoever reached it.
    What it costs
    • ₦250,000.00 to ₦450,000.00 quoted per engagement before we start
    What we refuseNo check without a note
    A check recorded with no note is refused. Once a verdict is reached, the checks are sealed.
  2. Stage 02 of 07

    Title perfection

    We take the title to what the registry holds.

    What you get
    The title as the registry holds it.
    What it costs
    • ₦850,000.00 to ₦3,500,000.00 when the title reaches the state
    What we refuseNo date the title never had
    A title state cannot carry a date it never had. Where the date is unknown, the state stands alone rather than borrowing the day we recorded it.

Stages 03–05

Money moves on rails you can see

Acquisition, Build supervision and Furnishing. What each one produces, what it costs, and what it refuses.

  1. Stage 03 of 07

    Acquisition

    We complete, and the property opens its own account.

    What you get
    Completion, and the property’s own bank account opened against it.
    What it costs
    • Acquisition advisory5% of the purchase price, on completion
    What we refuseNo money without its own account
    Money cannot land against a property that has no account of its own. There is no pooled client account to fall back to.
  2. Stage 04 of 07

    Build supervision

    We certify the spend as it happens.

    What you get
    Certified spend, posted as it is certified.
    What it costs
    • 8% of certified construction spend, as it is certified
    What we refuseNo entry that does not balance
    An entry whose debits and credits differ is refused before it reaches the ledger, with both totals printed.
  3. Stage 05 of 07

    Furnishing

    We buy it at what we paid, and show the margin.

    What you get
    Supplier invoices at what we paid, with the margin as its own line.
    What it costs
    • 15% of furnishing spend, on completion
    What we refuseNo one-sided entry
    A single-sided entry is refused. The supplier’s invoice and our margin are two lines, never one net figure.

Stages 06–07

You are paid, and shown the working

Letting and facilities and Distribution and payout. What each one produces, what it costs, and what it refuses.

  1. Stage 06 of 07

    Letting and facilities

    We let it, and match every naira to the bank each night.

    What you get
    Income posted against the property, matched to the bank every night.
    What it costs
    • Long tenancy12% of rental income received, at month end
    • Short let22% of gross stay income, before channel commission, at month end
    • Facility management₦45,000.00 to ₦120,000.00 per unit, a month
    What we refuseNo edits, no deletions
    A posted line cannot be edited or deleted by anyone, including us. A correction is a reversal that stays on your statement.
  2. Stage 07 of 07

    Distribution and payout

    We sweep the month and send it, with the rate on the transfer.

    What you get
    The month swept, and a transfer carrying its rate and its CCI reference.
    What it costs
    • Long tenancy12% of rental income received, at month end
    • Short let22% of gross stay income, before channel commission, at month end
    • Facility management₦45,000.00 to ₦120,000.00 per unit, a month
    What we refuseNo approving your own payout
    Whoever requested a payout cannot approve it. A second member of staff must, and a payout the owner requested has no destination until staff set it from the account on file.

The evidence chain

Every figure walks back to a document

Each link is computed from the one before it, so a figure on your statement can be traced back to the paper it came from.

  1. ReceiptThe vendor’s document, uploaded and stored where it cannot be swapped.
  2. RowThe entry it produced, with both sides of the posting and who filed it.
  3. HashThe row’s fingerprint, computed from its contents and the row before it.
  4. StatementThe month’s document, cut against a named ledger position.
  5. AnchorThe published point the whole chain is checked back to.

A statement is cut only after the whole ledger has been re-verified from the first entry. If that fails, no statement is produced.

The refusals, in one place

Seven rules the system keeps on its own.

Each rule is enforced by the system itself, and checked against the code every time this site is built.

Every lifecycle stage, and the rule it enforces
