Buying a plot of land under the cottage, house

Resale of land with bad geology - the usual thing. Adverse areas are found in a cottage village. Yes, builders will always find a solution, it really can be very expensive. Therefore, the purchase of land - is an issue, which should be treated with great caution.

nedodali land

The problem that happens in old gardening, and in the cottage - a discrepancy of the chosen land on the official documents that you demonstrate. The origin of this problem may be different, but the result - one: you unfortunately nedodali land. If you start to measure ownership tape, while adhering to the nearest post (so often do) - it is possible to make mistakes. After all, you will need to consider the terrain and without special tools, which are used surveyors, it just will not work. However, gross discrepancy you probably find and ask the seller questions in this regard. If we are talking about already developed an array, where neighbors are constantly mastered their possessions and land, which are sold, for a long time remained abandoned, the likelihood that the fence stands on virtually your territory is much higher average.

If the sale takes place in a new array on the basis of the preliminary agreements and land plots were cut simply by eye, it may well be that the border of your territory held right in the middle road. Also, it happens sometimes: the site owner starts to plant trees and make the foundation, and experts suddenly learn that he got into a completely foreign land. For a reasonable candidate for homeowners is such an important rule: do not start building, while it is not to be understood by all the boundaries of the selected area.

Even if everyone says that removal of landmarks in nature is already doing, cause cadastral engineer will be very useful: the pegs often rearranged as soon as surveyors leave. What to do with the discovery of these "surprises"? To agree on reducing the cost of, or to learn about any possible settlement of the problem with the neighbors. Bringing the selected area according to official documents or as a version of such documents in accordance with the reality - quite a serious matter. It will require a lot of patience, but to start with the development of the territory of the conflict - is a bad option.

Neighbors

The second problem - the neighbors. Never take decision on acquisition, are not acquainted with the neighbors. If these people do not exactly your circle - they can ruin a lifetime. There's even a fence will not help.

However, speaking about the neighbors, now we mean not only the owners of adjacent territories, but also representatives of local government, as well as its most active participants and members. With them you will need to decide for improvement and share contribution costs. It may be that you are a supporter of the winter cleaning of roads, street lighting, road quality, effective protection, but they also say that because anything goes. If we are talking about the suburban array, the preference is better, of course, give the quarters inhabited by permanent residents.

bad soil

The third problem - a bad geology selected portion. In our area it is - all the time. Fires that swept through Russia two years ago, showed that almost two thirds of the country private households are on peatlands. If the village were built always on the safe areas, the dachas and gardening, formed in the last third of the last century, almost all are on a pretty fire-peat. The Soviet government really did not like private owners, so and drove them into the swamp, as a partisan.

The second very worst case - a thixotropic clay, which does not keep the bases. When the capital construction of fire-prone soils need to replace, and a variety of viscous clay - to take special piles, trying to reach (or dosverlitsya, if so-called screw piles) to a normal solid base. But what to do if it's not a couple of meters, and the thickness of the multimeter? Builders are willing to offer you the construction of foundations, which are able to withstand any house. Nevertheless, there is always the risk worth the candle? Another embodiment of difficult development area - easy construction house on the foundation raft or on screw piles. The truth behind it is necessary to constantly keep an eye, and a decision on the construction of the foundation can only take professionals.

Special hydrogeological survey - it's pretty expensive, book it on the stage of buying the site is useful when you do not have ten acres, and a hectare for the estate. In other cases it is better to look at the foundations of the neighbors and ask them about all the results of the drilling of deep wells and dig special pits for septic tanks. But this is not a panacea: it may well be that one plot stands on a solid basis of good and nearby - unfortunately settles and sinks.

Water

Another important issue that should be discussed with the neighbors - it is water. If we are talking about already inhabited area with connection to sewerage and central water supply, the fewest problems. However, the majority of commuters use the wells and special wells. You will need to look different neighboring water sources, to learn all about the fact that it shows the analysis of water. The most common problem for the Leningrad region - is manganese, iron and organic impurities are treated with special water treatment systems and water scarcity - alas, can not be cured.

Everywhere there are companies that specialize in drilling and construction of wells. Their employees are aware of the local groundwater is better than someone different. And if a house or land you are interested in, but problems with water, then talk to those offering these services. Even in wealthy enough water Leningrad region has arid areas, and many suburban arrays are forced to live with the supplied drinking water.

ready-made solution

When it comes to purchasing a ready home is a better time than the off-season in order to fully evaluate the object in the most extreme operating conditions, not accurately find. You will be able to see how the area is inhabited here as quickly overheated house cools down, whether the roads are cleaned.

One more thing. We do that not a word is said about lying in wait for the buyer of multiple legal problems, but they are, unfortunately, there is. On them you can tell almost any normal realtor. We stayed on two points. First of all, despite the possibility of concluding a special contract of purchase and sale with subsequent correct registration of property rights, we strongly recommend that if you are not an experienced realtor or lawyer, to issue such transactions in notary. It will reject the documents if they are properly prepared, and the seller's right to cause any doubts. Also, if the agent or proxies in response to your very urgent request to introduce you to the owner refuses - look for another site or home. For Sale by proxy - this is a case where there may well emerge a lot of pitfalls. Since there are no such agreements, which can not be revoked or challenge.

Buyer land interesting

What exactly should know when buying a property in the countryside?

Are all border areas declared in official documents? If not - there is a special reason to talk about reducing prices.

Have not conflict with the owner of the rule of SNT or chalet non-profit partnerships, neighbors? This was getting to know first hand: it is necessary to require a special reference in the board. It can also happen that the seller did not participate in the costs that are associated with the construction of power lines, roads, water supply.

Is there electricity, there are no shortage of generating capacity? The agreement with the company's energy sales by the consumer must be prescribed allocated capacity, as well as the possibility of raising them. If the array has not yet been electrified, find out about his plans of electrification in the local power supply company. Poles with wires in this case does not mean anything: after all, they could just put in reserve.

How are various issues on the livelihoods of village (road maintenance, garbage collection, drainage works, security), and in what kind of sums it pours? Do inhabit suburban array of winter, whether it is properly protected in the winter? Whether purely local roads, whether you can easily drive to the selected site in a difficult period of the spring off-road?

Where exactly take drinking water? Is it acceptable quality? Is there a good near the wells and the wells, what are their limits? whether water analysis was carried out and what types of contaminants are in it revealed? What types of soils on the land?

To evaluate them necessarily require special geological survey. However, to reduce the probability of an error is possible, if the selected plot of land to make a garden drill series wells to a depth of 2 m, and make at least a rough assessment of the nature of the soil (sand, peat, clay) and the level of occurrence groundwater.
