Plot feasibility before you buy or build
A plot's value depends on what can actually be built on it and what it costs to connect. Before you pay or start a project, go through the points below or send us the details for a preliminary review.
What to check
1. Legal status
- Is it a regulated plot (UPI) or agricultural land
- Valid detailed plan (PUP) and permitted use
- Cadastral sketch matching the title deed
- Easements, encumbrances and co-ownership
2. Access and utilities
- Legal road access, not just a track in use
- Whether and on what terms power can be connected
- Water and sewerage or alternatives (well, septic tank)
- Slope, soil and drainage
3. Building potential
- Limits: density, floor-area ratio, height and green area
- Setbacks from boundaries and neighbours
- What size of building is realistic for the budget
- Time needed for design and building permit
