Are you looking for a land in Chisinau or in the suburbs? Do you think that only the price and the location of the land are the decisive factors in purchasing a land lot?
In order for you to make the right decision, read on for 10 helpful tips that will help you find the right land to build your dream home.
1. Land location
Location is one of the most important factors in choosing a land lot. For a start, you need to ask yourself more questions. Do you want to live in the city or in the suburb? Do you want to be permanently connected to city life or is peace and clean air more important to you? Do you mind spending some time in traffic coming from the outskirts of the city or from the suburbs, or do you want to have access to the city's infrastructure on foot or by public transport? and so on.
The land lot in the city has several benefits, but because there are very few good lands for construction in Chisinau, their price is very high compared to the suburbs. See prices for land: Tohatin, Stăuceni, Colonița, Bubuieci, Băcioi, Codru, Dumbrava, Durlești, Nimoreni, Suruceni, Trușeni, Cojușna, Grătiești.
2. Transport and access area
In order to make the right decision when purchasing a land lot, you need to consider if there is public transport to the area where the land is located.
Time how long you will have to travel by public transport or personal car from your future home to work, school or kindergarten. We recommend you to do these calculations on different days and at different times, so you will have a full picture of the real possibilities of travel.
Analyze the condition of the roads. If it is not an area where the roads are paved, see if there is a project in this sense at the town hall, or if there is an association that will build the roads from the association's money.
3. Socio-economic infrastructure
Socio-economic infrastructure is very important in everyday life. Presence of educational institutions (kindergartens, schools), health institutions (pharmacies, medical centers, hospitals), recreation and leisure areas (playgrounds, sports, parks), cultural institutions (libraries, theaters) , of economic centers (shops, markets, malls) makes our life easier and more pleasant.
It is important to consider whether the area where we will purchase the lot for the house has a fast connection to the socio-economic infrastructure that we will need every day.
4. Area relief
Analyzes whether the land lot has a flat surface, has a small slope or is on a steep slope. The higher is the slope - the higher the costs for building the house will be. If the slope opens a beautiful view of the city, forest or lake, the slope can be to our benefit, and the additional costs for construction become even more rational.
5. Connecting to utilities
It is very important to consider whether the land or the area where the land is located is connected to water, sewerage, electricity and natural gas. The lack of nearby utilities will significantly increase construction costs, especially if they are at a great distance.
The lack of certain communications is not always a problem especially when the multitude of other benefits that a certain field has prevails. Some utilities can be replaced with alternative systems, gas heating can be replaced by an economical pellet heating system and the lack of a sewerage system can be easily replaced with an efficient and autonomous sewerage and water treatment system.
6. Surface and shape of the land lot
Choose a land lot square or rectangular that has a shape as close to the square as possible. This will make it easy for you to place your future home on the field. From the very beginning, it would be good to know what type of house you want, how many floors, surface, etc., so that you can be sure that it will fit the size of the land.
Avoid irregular shapes of the terrain, especially those with very sharp angles. Accept to buy such land lot only if you are sure that you have enough space for the location of the house and the price is one 30% lower than the real market price.
The size of the land matters. But more important is how you place the house on this land and how you arrange the land later. Not everyone needs a very large garden and useless space that requires constant care that steals your time and money. The surface of 4-5-6 ares can be more than enough if you know how to place everything efficiently on the land (house, parking / garage, swimming pool, terrace, barbeque area, etc.).
7. Neighbors and Surroundings
Find out who your neighbors are before you buy the land. Talk to them, find out as much information as possible. See who you will live with. This way you will learn important things that will help you make the right decision.
It also analyzes whether the area is one that is in full development, or has been under construction for many years, and the neighbors live sporadically here and there. Pay attention to the buildings in the immediate vicinity, if they will not shade your land or steal your view.
8. Landslides and floods
Consult a specialist in the field who can tell you if the area where the land is located is not prone to landslides.
Go to the spot after a heavy rain and analyze if no water accumulates on the ground or no streams form that pass over the ground. Also, see if the rain does not pile up clay, garbage or gravel on the surface of the lot.
9. Air pollution and noise pollution
When purchasing a building site, it is important to consider whether there are no busy roads in the immediate vicinity so that the peace you so much want from a house on the ground is not shattered. Noise pollution is a factor that generates a lot of stress.
It is also important to know if there are no landfills, sewage treatment plants, farms or factories in the vicinity that negatively influence the air pollution in the area.
10. Legal status of the land
Checks the legal status of the land. Request an Extract from the Real Estate Register, and in section 3 you will find information on encumbrances, prohibitions, etc. Also, check for tax liabilities.
It also requires an act of establishing the boundaries from the owner, so you will know if the neighbors have not violated the boundaries of the land and the land area is real according to the property deeds.
