LEGALITIES SURROUNDING REAL ESTATE PURCHASE AND WHY YOU SHOULDN'T JOKE WITH IT!

Money is hard to come by these days due to the challenging economy. Owning your own land or home is a need in life, and working hard and being determined to save money to do so is a testament to those qualities. So the best thing you can do for yourself is to avoid ruining everything by making a rash property purchase without first ascertaining the legalities surrounding the ownership and status of the land or house.

In truth, I have seen and heard stories of how people lose money in millions after purchasing landed properties because they didn't do the needful with regard to the legalities surrounding the ownership and status of the property.

When it comes to buying or investing in landed properties, it is very important to take legalities surrounding it seriously because they usually involve significant sums of money and can have long-term consequences.

There are many legalities that can be involved in real estate transactions, including issues related to property ownership, zoning, environmental regulations, and financing.

Some specific examples of legalities that may be relevant to real estate transactions include:

Title: It is important to ensure that the person selling a property has the legal right to do so, and that the title is clear of any liens or other claims.

Zoning: The use of a property is regulated by local zoning laws, which may limit the types of activities that can be conducted on the property or the structures that can be built on it.

Environmental regulations: There may be federal, state, or local regulations that impact the use of a property, such as rules related to wetlands, endangered species, or hazardous materials.

In order not to lose your money, it's very important to consult with qualified estate surveyors and property lawyers to ensure that all legal requirements in relation to the property you are buying or investing in are met.

To be forewarned they say is forearmed o. Do not say I didn't tell you.

Cheers to your real estate investing success!

Dear Potential Land Buyer

 Dear potential land buyer know that no matter what, land in its natural state will always worth something. That being established, I have read and heard many stories of how people bought land at sososo price and later sold it at a much higher sososo price as time went by. As a random person reading this piece now, If there is anything you could make out of the above-mentioned, it's definitely the fact that land in the passing of time is capable of garnering capital appreciation. Frankly, land as an investment can be a huge blessing for the owner, because land will always be needed, and it is not going anywhere. Buildings and businesses come and go, but land remains. Because land is a finite resource. And the truth is land as a resource is becoming more scarce over time and also becoming more expensive. There’s nothing we can do to make more land. As the population increases, the demand for land and cost increases too. I kid you not, one of the very best investment options you c...

TITLE SEARCH IN REAL ESTATE

The only way to ensure that the land/ property to be purchased in a transaction has a good title is to conduct a complete and thorough search. A title search is the process whereby the ownership and claims on a piece of real property are evaluated before a transaction can take place. It is important to conduct search and necessary due diligence when purchasing a land or property to clear any doubts, ambiguities, and confusion. The necessary search to be conducted before real estate transaction can take place are as follows: Conducting a search at the Land Registry where the property is situated; doing this reveals the true owner of the land and also reveals if there is any encumbrance such as government acquisition, mortgages, or any form of leasehold on the property. Search at the Probate Registry: This discloses whether probate has been given on any estate; who the administrators of the estate are; or to determine the executors of a testator in a situation of properties belonging to...

A "MUST-READ" ARTICLE FOR PROSPECTIVE LAND BUYERS

Do not buy land if you are yet to read this piece. Every state has a master plan for development and all of these developments will be done on land. If you have read news or heard of the state government destroying buildings, it is because they did not meet up with the appropriate building standards or they were built on committed land. And that's why knowing the land status of that land you want to buy is very "IMPORTANTER" so as to avoid “STORIES THAT TOUCH”. Normally, when you want to buy a land you should find out the status of the land. Go to land registry, check the title document on that land. Take the survey and go to a surveyor general’s office and find out if that land is free or committed and safe to invest in. As one might be propelled by the wonderful and tempting location, fantastic price and desire to own property, there is the need to take all necessary steps and precautions, by investigating the vendor’s title, go for physical inspection of the prope...
