Whether building a dream home from scratch or expanding an office complex, you’ll need a plot of land before embarking on the construction endeavor. According to the land surveyors at Flynn & CYR Land Surveying, in Kensington, CT, finding the right parcel for your needs is important as any other aspect of the project. To ensure your project remains on track, Hartford County’s premier land surveyors share a few buying strategies to adopt in your next search for the best plot.  

Land Surveyors’ 3 Tips to Ensure You Buy the Right Plot

1. Research Different Types of Land Options 

Before you decide on a parcel, it’s best to get an understanding of different types of land available. Your choice can go a long way in determining how the property can be altered and what types of permits might be required for construction. Typically found in rural areas, greenfield land, for example, is undeveloped or used for agriculture or landscaping purposes. Brownfield land has previously been built on, which means there could be old property line markers and other human-made features in place. A land surveyor will be able to accurately tell you this information.

2. Consider Growth Potential

When buying a plot of land, consider how the location will change over time. If there are planned changes to the area infrastructure, such as road development or a residential or commercial boom, think about how you will benefit from the changes and whether they will add to, or take away from, the value of the land. 

3. Conduct a Professional Land Survey

Once you’ve narrowed down options, conduct professional land surveys of each plot before reaching a decision. From determining flood risks to finding the exact property boundaries, surveyors will give the land a thorough inspection. They will compile all findings in a document, so you have the necessary information to help decide.
