Often, the land allotment is inherited, and there's nothing you can do about it - that is, so you have to be content. But if there was an idea of building your house, and there is no property in the plot, you will have to start with its acquisition. How to approach the choice of the territory for building, whether any land is suitable for this, what to consider and what "pitfalls" are not overlooked - all this will be considered in the proposed material.
Geodetic features of the territory
- Relief. Small distortions are eliminated relatively easily( technology is meant, but not costs) - ground leveling, correct base selection, raising the base. But if the slope is 100 cm or more, the cost of building 1 m² of the house's base increases sharply.
- Soil characteristics. On this depends largely on the choice of type( hence, the cost) of the foundation.
- Location of underground water. Therefore, how much will the arrangement of the well( well) cost and whether the source will be able to fully meet all the needs of the owner of the site.
Linear parameters of the land plot
The case is not only in its size, but also in the configuration. What to consider?
Conformity of the territory to the conceived design of the house. Hardly anyone will want to dramatically change their plans for construction, if there is a choice of a site among many. The number of ares is not an indicator. What are the length and width? Will it be possible to put an apartment house on the site, and even with an extension, for example, in the form of a garage?
How much free space remains, and what are these segments. Unfortunately, very few people think about what can be built in the territory. Typically, this is a garage, a barn, a summer kitchen, engineering facilities( a septic tank, a well or a well).Probably a rabbit or chicken coop. Here on this and it is necessary to make an accent. It's not just whether everyone will fit in the remaining space.
For some objects, there are certain building codes and sanitary rules. First of all, this concerns the minimum distance from fences, residential buildings in adjacent territories, roads, reservoirs. It may happen that in the figures of free space for additional construction in excess, and in fact the desired to build( by law) can not.
What else to consider when choosing a site
- A large plot is profitable for the construction of a house by the fact that in the future it is possible to realize any ideas on it, which the owner does not yet think about. For example, put a greenhouse, and after retiring to engage in the cultivation of something for sale. Over time, build a swimming pool, a children's playground, a second house( for the young) and so on - there are many options. But such a large-scale territory will require the cost of fencing, to maintain it in proper condition.
- With a small outbuilding much easier. The cost of construction is less, and even with a reasonable approach, guided by some rules of landscape design, the plot can be beautifully arranged. But to expand their holdings( in the long term) will not work out.
Site location, infrastructure
- Distance from the city. Is it convenient to get adults to work, children to school? Where is the nearest public transport stop, with what regularity does he go? Personal car - a good thing, but the car sometimes breaks down, and it is necessary "like everything" - on foot.
- State of roads and access roads in the construction area. In summer everything looks attractive. But what will happen in the off-season, in the winter? For example, mudslides, if the road is not asphalted, snowdrifts in the case of narrow alleys.
- Presence in the district of outlets, medical / institutions and the like.
- Stability of cellular communication on the site under the house. Will there be an opportunity to get through at least emergency services in case of emergency situations?
- "Undesirable neighbors".It is enough to list only the most typical ones - motorways( constant noise), industrial enterprises( smog and soot on the roof, facade, house windows), treatment facilities( hordes of mosquitoes).Natural pools are also not only a pleasant coolness, an opportunity to swim or fish. It is necessary to clarify how much the lake is flowing, the river during the melting season of snow, does not the water come to the chosen site.
Separately, we should focus on the prospect of development( development) of this territory. Any large-scale construction, deployed near the site, can have the most negative impact on the conditions of further residence in the house. Ground displacements often lead to subsidence of the foundation, changes in the configuration of underground water layers. In the best case, the debit of a well on a site can decrease slightly, at worst - it is necessary to look for a place for a new one.
Yes, and the planned construction of the federal-importance route will not add exactly. Therefore, it is necessary to visit the administration of the settlement, district and city and clarify all these questions. It is not necessary to confine ourselves to a conversation with a local head-he may not be aware of the plans of the regional( regional) authorities.
Communications
Sewer
First of all, the future owner of the site should be interested in whether there is a nearby pipe nearby and whether it will be possible to join it. It is much cheaper to build a road from the house to the inspection well than to install a septic tank, and then also to clean it regularly.
Water supply
If there are no pipes near the site, then an autonomous source is understandable. If there is running water, you should ask about the quality of the water. You may need to buy a sewage treatment plant.
Electrification
The fact that the neighbors have light on the site, does not mean that it will automatically appear in the new owner. What to find out? First, the power of the substation and the degree of its deterioration. Secondly, how many kW will be able to allocate the administration to this particular site. This largely depends on how to organize electricity supply at home - to acquire only a low-power reserve unit for 4 "kilo" or a full-fledged diesel station for autonomous power supply.
gas pipeline First of all, the choice of the type of kitchen appliances and boiler equipment for a home depends on the possibility of connecting to the mainline. Models that run on "blue fuel" are much more economical. If the central gas supply of the microdistrict is not available, it will be necessary to decide - to switch to electrical appliances( if the power of the electric line allows), or to acquire bottles and refuel liquefied gas.
The total cost of building a house can be determined only by evaluating all its features and additional financial costs( about the cheapest materials for construction read here).But we must not forget that the land is constantly growing in price, and investments in it are considered the most profitable.
What to check
Place is found, and it does not matter how - alone, with the help of an agency, an intermediary, acquaintances. After acquaintance with the territory it becomes clear - I like it. Convenient, near the city, the countryside is beautiful and so on. In addition, it is quite suitable for building your own home. But these are all the details, and starting immediately to plan the erection of housing is meaningless. It is necessary to thoroughly study the legal side of the issue.
- Was the land survey conducted, defined and documented? Is he listed in the cadastral register? What number is assigned to him?
- Does the site have any disputes between subjects( eg administration and former owners)?
- Restrictions on the use of land. For example, by the number of storeys of buildings in this place.
- Are all taxes paid for this site paid, to what extent?
- Intensity of development of the territory. It's about a new cottage village. It is advisable to find out how many houses it is designed for, how many years it is building, how the plots are bought up. A simple example - the territory is large, and the owners are not more than a dozen. The answer to the question of who will pay for utilities, the security company and so forth arises by itself. The costs are borne by the owners of these houses( in shares), and if there is no prospect that their ranks will soon be replenished, another additional mandatory item will be added to the family budget of the new owner, and very impressive.
Useful tips
The savings on the site itself are often illusory. The low price of land for a house in a good neighborhood should be alarming. Only segments of the territory that have a number of shortcomings can be cheaply sold, the elimination or minimization of which will require additional financial investments.
For example, if the soil is of little use for gardening, you will have to import chernozem( humus).Strong distortion of the relief can be partially compensated by choosing the appropriate type of foundation of the house( pile, columnar).But to break beds in such a land plot, to equip households / buildings, it will be difficult to build communication, and all this will cost quite a lot. It would be nice to conduct geological surveys before building a house.
Different agencies, firms engaged in the sale of real estate, not only will offer several options for building a house, but will also lead to a lot of arguments in favor of what exactly they are worth buying. Do not hurry. The right decision is to gather as much information as possible.
First of all, walk around the area, talk to the locals. They will not hide anything and will tell you what difficulties they had to face in the construction process and what exactly they were hiding from the sellers. At the same time "enlighten" and in terms of criminogenic situation. Live in a place where everything literally needs to be "fastened" to locks - it's not much fun.
