Important Factors to Consider Before Buying Land
Key questions to ask about use, ownership, access and future plans before buying land.
Know the permitted use
Land can be designated for different uses, and this affects what you may build. Ask the seller and the relevant local authority what use applies to the land.
Understand ownership and history
A clear chain of ownership matters. A qualified advocate can review title documents and check for any disputes or encumbrances.
Look at access and utilities
Confirm legal and physical road access, and how water, electricity and drainage would reach the land.
Plan the full cost
Beyond the price, remember registration charges, taxes, development and legal costs. Current rates change, so confirm them with the authorities.
