🌳 Buying land? A beautiful view is just the beginning. Before you buy, check these 5 things:
1️⃣ CONFIRM WHAT YOU CAN BUILD
Check zoning, setbacks, deed restrictions, and whether your intended use is allowed.
2️⃣ VERIFY ACCESS & BOUNDARIES
Have legal access, easements, and property lines reviewed. A visible driveway doesn’t tell the whole story.
3️⃣ CHECK SEPTIC & WATER OPTIONS
If public services aren’t available, investigate soil suitability, septic approvals, and well feasibility for your plans.
4️⃣ UNDERSTAND THE SITE
Review flood risk, wetlands, slopes, and drainage that could affect where—and whether—you can build.
5️⃣ KNOW THE FULL COST
Get estimates for clearing, grading, driveway construction, utilities, and permits. Confirm financing early.
Give yourself time to complete these checks within your contract’s due diligence deadlines.
