If you are an investor, finding a plot of land to develop is an exhausting task. It takes a long time. It’s also very challenging in terms of having to compete with other investors who might have found the same ground for their concepts. Here are some tips to at least make your task a bit easier.
- Work or deal with high street real estate agents
Many developments are managed by street real estate agents on behalf of the companies they work for. If you want your development or your concept to be in their portfolio to sell, you have to deal with them. Your business proposal should always be ready for presentation. If you have builds in progress, you can bring them to your site. Be very idealistic and vocal with the plans that will shape your development. What they will hear from you or see in your presentations will influence their decisions. Be more competitive because some of them may already have stable contacts with other companies.
- Use satellite images generated by popular applications.
In fact, technology is here to make things easier for many people. It includes you. Yes, you can use applications that generate satellite images of the streets. Through this, you can easily find gaps in the streets and empty spaces or where some small houses are built next to large green areas. You can then track down these places or at least look for some landmarks. Make an eyepiece on the spot afterwards. Find people you can talk to about the land. If there are no people available to talk, your local government is your trusted source of information.
- Check with the local planning divisions of the towns or cities in which you are interested in building your development.
Make the most of your time while you’re in town or the town hall. Go to the planning division. Inquire about some brown land or even green land that is open for planning and development. Remember that once requests are submitted, they become public record. This means that you can look at these documents and see for yourself if there is still room for further development. If not on the same parcel of land, then perhaps on the adjacent piece.
Finding land on which you can establish buildings, municipalities or even self-build your house can be very exhausting. If at any point you find that you need the help of your local real estate agent, remember that you are just a phone call away!
