Yes. Its always before any kind work or permit pulling, its like you always read manuals before you start to joint parts and follow diagrams. I will ask 2 to 3 builders from small contracter to medium to Big.

The buyer must always verify that the lot they are looking at suits the building they want to construct. Even if an area with jurisdiction permits a particular structure, the HOA may not (if there is one). This is why we ask for the HOA documentation and transfer. The buyer must read or have an attorney read these documents to ensure the lot will permit the building they have in mind.

It's important to work with a qualified real estate agent or attorney to ensure that the contingencies are drafted correctly and that the buyer's interests are adequately protected. Each real estate transaction is unique, so the specific contingencies included in the purchase contract may vary based on the circumstances of the sale and the buyer's requirements.

Great question! The contingencies that a buyer wants may depend on their specific needs in the land and how they are purchasing it, but here are some typical contingencies you'll see to be necessary: 1. Financing contingency - If a buyer is obtaining a loan to purchase the lot, they would want the ability to get out of contract if their loan was not approved. 2. Appraised value contingency - A buyer wants to be sure that they are not over paying for the lots in most cases, so making a deal subject to appraised value meeting or exceeding the contract value would be important. This will be a lender requirement in the case of the utilization of a loan. 3. Contingency for land use could potentially be important. For example, if a buyer intends to use a lot for commercial purposes, they would need to ensure that there are no restrictions which prohibit this. Remember that just because there is no HOA, does NOT mean there are no restrictions EVEN IF the listing says there are no restrictions. There are several more, but those are some fairly common ones!

When purchasing a vacant lot to build a home, important contingencies to consider include verifying zoning and land use regulations, ensuring access to utilities, conducting environmental assessments, confirming boundaries through a survey, conducting a title search and obtaining title insurance, securing financing and appraising the lot, obtaining necessary permits and approvals, conducting soil testing, analyzing the site's topography, and estimating the overall project cost. Consulting professionals throughout the process is highly recommended.For additional information, Call or Text me at 832-776-9582 or visit my website at www.Networthbuilders.comThank you
