Top 5 questions to ask when purchasing land
Do you have land or a lot that you want to build a home on?
If not what are you looking for? Acreage….Subdivision… and what part of town??
Sometimes one of the hardest parts in building a custom home is finding a lot that best suits a families living style and budget. If you do not already have a building site one of the best sources to help you find one is a realtor. Below are 5 top questions that you should be asking that realtor when it comes to purchasing land.
-
- What utilities are available-water, sewer or do you need a well and septic. Is natural gas available if I want gas or do I need a propane tank.
- What kind of slope does the lot have? The more the slope the more expensive it will be to build or maybe I want to consider a daylite basement house design if there is slope.
- Is the lot high and dry or is there some drainage problems causing a wet area. This could cause problems for a septic system or building.
- Is it in a subdivision with covenants that require a certain size home or design.
- Is there good access to property-county road, paved or unpaved, etc. or is there any easements on the property like drainage easements.
