Purchasing land these days is part of the daily projects of many people. However, obtaining land title has become one of the major challenges for the middle class, combined with housing shortages and growing housing problems in our society.
The opportunism of some and the greed of others find favorable ground in this whirlwind of “land for sale”, which itself serves as a catalyst for land insecurity and thus undermines the peaceful enjoyment of landowners.
In this article, we have identified some non-exhaustive signs that can be used as risk indicators when buying land.
To buy a plot of land, you must first learn about 3 essential elements.
The situation on the ground.
The quality of the seller.
The sales procedure.
A crooked land seller will never tell you whether the land is contentious or not. Indeed, before buying a piece of land, first find out about it. Is it on a habitable area? Have you consulted the urban planning documents from the City Hall, the land registry and land affairs? In particular the Land Use Plan and the urban planning certificate……
Such information will inform you if the land you intend to buy is constructible and habitable or if it will not be expropriated for public use in a few years.
You must also reassure yourself with the competent authorities if the said land is not the subject of a mortgage, or if someone else does not claim to own the same land.
You can also allocate the services of a private detective who will do all the efficient research to allow you to validly commit to the purchase of a property. In addition to this non-exhaustive information on the situation of the land, you will also need to find out about the seller (property certificate) and be very careful about the deed of sale.
