Building a new house is often the fulfillment of long-standing goals, but buying a buildable plot also brings challenges and potential risks. Before embarking on this important journey, we offer you some key tips to avoid potential problems and make the buying process easier.
Choose the right land for your house
It is important to carefully study whether the selected land is suitable for building the house you want before buying. The location information will give you guidelines on what is allowed to be built on the land according to the spatial plan. Check that the plan complies with floor plan restrictions, roof shape, ridge direction, and other regulations. Otherwise, you may have to change the plans for the house or even look for new land.
Do not just consider looks and views
When choosing a plot of land, don’t just consider its appearance and view. It is important to check the availability and possibility of connections to municipal water. Cheaper land away from urban centers may require higher costs for electricity, water, sewage, and telecommunications. Before buying, get all the necessary information about the infrastructure on the land.
Check the soil type and groundwater
A geotechnical inspection will reveal the type of soil and the bearing capacity of the terrain. This is key to designing the foundation of the house and estimating construction costs. A high groundwater table can make it difficult to build underground spaces, while an unstable foundation requires the use of special foundations, which can increase construction costs.
Check the flood and radon maps
Check whether the plot is located in a flood zone and whether it is at risk of radon. A flood map will provide you with information about potential risks, while a radon measurement will help prevent potential health problems.
Explore the possibility of archaeological sites
Before buying land, check if there are any archaeological sites in the area that could affect your construction. Pay attention to the list of archaeological sites in Slovenia and consult with local residents and experts.
Get to know your neighbours
Neighbours can play an important role in your construction. Get their consent, if necessary, and get to know them before starting construction. Good neighbourly relations are key to a pleasant stay in a new home right from the start.
Buying buildable land is an important step in building a new house. By properly checking the key aspects and getting all the necessary information, you can reduce the risks and thus ensure a more successful purchase.
