Tips for buying Home Land in NW San Antonio
Buying a
home land in NW San Antonio and leading a serene and fulfilled life is
a life time dream for any one.
Buying such
home land need not be always frightful if you are inclined to look into
many aspects related to any property buying, especially in NW San Antonio.
Before going
in for purchase consider the following:
• Have
a talk with the local banker or a mortgage broker and get to know the
prevailing rates. You can also disclose your expectations and your budget.
In the process, you may get a good site and probably get an opportunity
to get loans for the proposed building.
• Get
the average quotes for the intended property. Analyse and earmark your
money towards purchase of land, towards construction costs and towards
unforeseen eventualities. Now decide your capabilities and necessities
in buying the land.
• As
you drive, you can look for “sale” signs and seek details. You
can also look for local listings on the internet. After noting the location
and sites, visit the local tax office and get the owner’s name and
other relevant details. Contact the owner and negotiate the deal.
• Have
a talk with your agent and express your desire and options. Seek help
from agents in identifying a homeland to suit to your needs.
• Once
you find a suitable home, check the basic necessities such as water availability
and flow, gas connections, electricity and power requirements.
• Never
fail to check for the easement aspect. An easement is the right to use
another person's land for a specific purpose. Enquire and get to know
the existing easement rights on your proposed home or land for others
and your need to have any easement rights to access your proposed home
or lane. Discuss your option and the right of extending the easement after
the purchase.
• Get
to know the boundaries of the proposed land or home. Look for iron pins
at the corners of property, or at any point where the property line makes
a turn. Ensure that the iron pins are not erroneously located.
• If
possible, take a survey with the help of surveyors. Keeping a survey report
or an updated survey report over the original one can certainly help in
case you go for loans with any banker. Getting an update over the existing
survey is less expensive.
• If
your site is to be accessed through a personal road, then check you right
for access with all the existing owners and your interests in upkeeping
of the road.
• Seek
information on any buried items such as storage tanks and gas tanks. Ascertain
your level of exposure in removal and cleaning up of such tanks.
• Check
for sewer connections and the working condition of such sewer connections.
Ensure that you will be able to get approval from architectural evaluation
board for your home plans and sort out the issues if any.
• Make
provisions for unforeseen circumstances and other contingencies. Contact
your agent, contractor, or real estate attorney who can help you in determining
the contingencies that need to be addressed.
Buying home
land in NW San Antonio can be a fun adventure. If you look hard enough,
you may end up with a fine and a perfect building site that you have been
longing for.
