The Times Real Estate


.

  • Written by NewsServices.com

Owning a plot is a dream for almost everyone. While there is always the option to own a gated apartment, a plot comes with better returns on investments. The only concern is how to find the perfect spot for the land.

Here are some of the factors to help you find the ideal land.

  • Location

Location is one of the crucial factors in real estate, and when buying a residential plot is no exception. Land located in strategic places with easy access to the prominent areas is a better investment.

The location of the land also matters in respect to how far it is from crucial services. Do not fall for cheap plot offers located far away. While they might grow after some time, they will take longer and it might come with less returns.

  • The actual value of the land

Never be in a rush to buy a residential plot no matter how cheap it seems. Instead, take time to research the value of the land and the various reasons you find it ideal for you. If it's your first time buying land then you might struggle establishing the real value. Talk to a real estate agent to help you understand all the necessary value additions on the land.

  • Know the climate

The climate of an area affects several things about your home. You will build the home to match the existing climatic conditions. The weather determines the home’s insulation, types of plants you can grow, the energy you expect to use, and health conditions like asthma and respiratory diseases.

Establish the weather patterns of the location for the past 20 years to determine the climate. Only buy the land if it has favorable climatic conditions for you and your family.

  • Verify the builder

The entity selling the land is as crucial as the land itself when buying a plot. Avoid lands that come with various issues like litigations and other concerns. Therefore, before buying the land, do a background check on the seller. Understand the various projects they have developed before. You might also ask in different real estate online forums for recommendations and reviews.

For assured safety, work with reputable builders who offer land for sale in Tarneit, Vic, from Fraser property. They have a massive portfolio of previous projects from where you can draw reviews.

  • Soil quality and composition

The soil quality of the land you are purchasing is crucial. Not all soils are ideal for building stronger structures. For example, black cotton soils are not the best for building a home as they have loose soil particles and retain water which affects the structure of the building. The best options are the sandy and loam soils.

Building on the poor soils might be more costly as you will first have to replace the soil before you can construct your house. Buying such land should come cheaper.

  • Valid documents

There is always the chance of getting cheated when buying land. Stay safe by ensuring the validity of the land documents. Look for the title deed, encumbrance certificate, approvals by the local body, release certificate and property tax receipts and bills.
