The Right Materials

Are you considering creating some land divisons?

28 January 2020 by Frank Lynch

Do you have a piece of land which you are no longer using? Perhaps you inherited the land, or maybe you have decided that your farm or industrial site is now too big for your needs? If you own a piece of land that you don't use, then you have several choices. For example, you could sell on the land to someone else. Selling the land is the least complex option, but that may not be the best way to maximize the value of the land.

Subdivisions can help

A better alternative is to take your one piece of land and to create multiple land divisions from it. You could then decide whether to sell off the individual plots of land or whether it would be better to build properties on each of the plots and to sell off the individual land divisions with the properties completed and ready for use. The most profitable option is often to sell the completed homes, but this takes the longest to accomplish and requires quite a bit of work to accomplish. Whichever route you take, it is helpful to work with a company that has considerable experience creating land divisions.

Why working with professionals makes sense

If you want to go ahead and create your own land divisions, then you can do so. Most people prefer to get professional help because of the legal complexities that can be involved. Before you can start creating land divisions, you must be able to divide up the land between the various properties, and that isn't always easy. You will need to decide how many land divisions you want and how they will be placed. You will probably want each division to have access to the public highway. You must also think about how the utilities such as electricity and water will reach each of your land divisions and who will install those lines. Finally, once your plans are complete, they will need to be submitted to the local planning authorities for approval. By choosing a company with experience in land divisions, you can have confidence that they have faced all of these problems in the past and that they have solutions to every difficulty you might encounter. If you pick a local company, they have probably worked with your local planning department in the past and will have a good idea of exactly what type of proposals they will accept, saving you time and money on the approvals process.
