Quick answers
Land-buying basics.
What goes in a land search brief?+
Include the intended use, area, acreage, budget, timing, access needs, utilities and required improvements.
Do mineral rights and exemptions matter?+
They can. Review current records with qualified legal and tax advisers because the effect varies by property.
When should due diligence start?+
Start listing questions before the offer. The contract period needs enough time for the records, inspections and specialist reviews the land requires.
