Prepare questions for the seller

[tiffanymariko]

Before you begin looking into properties and contacting sellers, prepare a list of questions to ask based around your specific needs and wants to ensure the land is worth viewing. A few general questions to ask the seller or seller's agent include:

• Is the lot buildable?
• Are there any restrictions or encroachments on the property I should be aware of before purchasing?
• Are there any common facilities, like water systems, septic systems, or roads, homeowners or developers need to manage? If so, what will my specific responsibilities be?
• Will there be homeowner association fees?
• Are any portions of the land designated wetlands or floodplain?
• Does the site have access to electricity, natural gas, town water, or sewer?
• Is there water on site? What is the flow rate and quality?
