land zoning

Understanding Acreage and Zoning

When you see raw land for sale, two terms frequently arise: acreage and zoning. Acreage refers to the size of the land, with one acre equaling 43,560 square feet. Zoning, on the other hand, dictates how the land can be used (e.g., residential, agricultural, commercial). We always advise our clients at Bubsland to thoroughly check these details.

home deeds

Deeds and Title Searches Explained

A deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of property from one party to another. Before finalizing your purchase, a title search is crucial. This process ensures there are no existing liens or encumbrances on the property. We at Bubsland ensure transparency in every transaction, making your experience smooth.

land surveys

The Importance of Surveys and Easements

A property survey precisely defines the boundaries of the land, helping you understand exactly what you’re buying. Easements grant someone the right to use a portion of another person’s land for a specific purpose, like utility access. We always recommend understanding these thoroughly before investing in any land for sale.

floodplain

Floodplains and Utilities Access

Understanding if a property is in a floodplain is vital for future development and insurance. Similarly, knowing the availability and accessibility of utilities like water, electricity, and sewer can significantly impact your plans. At Bubsland, we provide comprehensive information to help you assess every aspect of your desired land.
