Land financing is available, but it’s different from traditional home loans. Many banks offer land loans with higher down payments and interest rates. We can also help you explore options like seller financing or home equity loans if applicable.

A professional land survey will provide accurate property boundaries, which are essential for avoiding disputes and ensuring your future plans comply with local regulations. We can assist in arranging a survey as part of your due diligence.

Many vacant land properties lack utility connections. We help clients understand what utilities are available nearby. This may include hooking up to public water and sewer or installing a well and septic system. Properties that already have these connections typically sell for a much higher price due to the time, cost, and effort to have them installed.

In addition to the purchase price, buyers should budget for closing costs, land surveys, soil testing, utility installation, and permits. Property taxes and maintenance costs are also important to consider, especially if you're not planning to build immediately.

Environmental restrictions, such as wetlands or protected areas, can affect land use. Additionally, natural hazards like flood zones or landslide risks may impact your building plans. We’ll help you research environmental assessments and hazard maps relevant to the area.

A feasibility period is a designated time frame after the contract is signed, allowing the buyer to conduct necessary inspections, surveys, and assessments to determine if the property meets their needs. During this period, you can evaluate zoning, environmental conditions, access to utilities, soil quality, and any other factors that could impact your plans. If issues arise, the feasibility period typically allows you to renegotiate or withdraw from the purchase without penalty.

It depends on your goals and timeline. Finding land first allows you to secure a location and then work with a builder who can tailor plans to the site’s unique features and zoning restrictions. However, if you already have a specific builder or design in mind, consulting with them before purchasing land can help ensure the lot is suitable for your desired plans and budget. In many cases, builders can even assist in identifying lots that will work well for the intended build.
