Begin with your intended use
Be clear about what you hope to build or do with the land. Ask about access, surrounding uses, utilities and practical constraints.
Check the information independently
Arrange appropriate professional checks on ownership, boundaries, permitted use and any restrictions. A photograph, map pin or listing description is not proof of ownership or permission to develop.
Budget beyond the asking price
Consider the professional services, servicing works and development costs your intended use may require. Request specific estimates instead of relying on assumptions.
Proceed with a documented decision
Keep a record of what has been checked, outstanding questions and any conditions in your offer. Obtain independent legal and other professional advice before committing.
