Purchasing land to build your dream home is an exciting journey, but it's essential to approach it with thorough research and careful planning. At Maddren Homes, we guide you through every step of the process, ensuring that your land purchase aligns perfectly with your vision and budget.

📌 Key Considerations Before Buying Land

1. Legal and Planning Restrictions

Before making an offer, have your solicitor obtain copies of relevant documents from the council, including the title, consent notices, easements, and resource consents. These documents will help you understand any restrictions or obligations tied to the land. For instance, environmental covenants may limit land clearing, or specific zoning laws might affect the type of dwelling you can build.

2. Land Topography

Assessing the land's contour is crucial. A topographical survey provides accurate information about the site's slope, which impacts construction costs and design. For example, a steep slope may require additional foundation work, increasing overall expenses.

3. Geotechnical Survey

Understanding the ground conditions is vital. A geotechnical survey will reveal soil stability, drainage issues, and other factors that could affect your building's foundation and longevity.

4. Infrastructure and Services

Ensure the land has access to essential services like water, electricity, and sewage. If these services are not readily available, connecting them can be costly and time-consuming.

5. Covenants and Restrictions

Review any covenants or restrictions that may limit your building plans. These could include limitations on building materials, height restrictions, or requirements for landscaping.
