Top 5 Things To Consider While Buying Land To Build Your Home

Buying land in Kenya should not be a struggle, though it is always key to partner up with a real estate agency that has all your investment interests at heart; offering the best and sound advice in your steps toward becoming a homeowner. While considering buying land for building a home, it’s paramount to know these top 5 things:

1. Location, Location, Location
   Location is everything. A location close to schools, shopping centers, hospitals, parks, etc., is ideal. You’ll want to make sure that the area you choose is safe and secure. If you’re looking to buy land for building a home in a rural setting, you might have to travel farther than if you were purchasing land in a city or close to a city.
   
   
2. Try to picture the neighborhood in 5 to 10 years
   Consider how the neighborhood will become in coming years, and also consider future developments too. While buying land in Kenya may seem like a great idea, it’s important to consider future developments. If you’re planning to build a house, you’ll need to think about whether or not you’d want to sell the land later on. Also, if you plan on expanding your business, you’ll need to figure out whether or not you’ll need additional space.
   
   
3. Get to know the property’s setbacks
   Before you buy land in Kenya, it’s important to research the area thoroughly. Check out local news articles, ask friends who live nearby, and even check online forums to learn more about the community. Knowing the neighborhood helps you avoid problems down the road and gives you a sense of security.
   
   
4. Ask yourself, “How will I get utilities, and what is the cost?”
   Finding a good real estate agent is extremely important when buying land in Kenya. An experienced agent will be able to guide you through the entire process and ensure that everything goes smoothly. They will also keep you abreast with clear information regarding access to utilities like power, water and sewerage, and internet for your soon-to-be newly owned property.
   
   
5. Find out who is responsible for maintenance
   It is always important to know who maintains the land you are about to purchase. The current owner of the land is responsible for maintaining the property. If the property is not maintained properly, then you as the buyer may face problems later on. You should always find out if the property is being maintained well before purchasing it.
