From the map, you will be able to see details of adjacent parcels of land (size and boundaries), road networks, and designated public spaces like schools, markets, and hospitals.
- “Hello, can I see the Land Mutation? Inquire about Land Mutation: A mutation will enable you understand the change of ownership of the land, plot dimensions, and access roads.
- Inquire about the land history – Explore the land’s history with the seller and immediate neighbours. This helps you determine if there are any disputes or ongoing court cases involving the land.”
- Investigate proposed government infrastructural development: Seek information on proposed developments by the national or county government, such as roads, schools, and markets, to gauge future plot appreciation.
- Are any celebrities, government officials, or politicians investing in this area? Determine if there are any influential persons living or investing in the neighbourhood. They possess insights into future government projects.
Armed with this knowledge, you can make informed investment decisions that benefit both you and future generations.
