The documents behind every plot
Before a plot appears on this page, its title is searched at the land registry, the seller's right to sell is confirmed, and the register is checked for charges, cautions or disputes. A licensed surveyor fixes the boundaries, sets a beacon at each corner and prepares the survey plan, and every subdivision carries the approval the local authority requires.
The names and the rules change from country to country: a title deed, a certificate of title or a lease from the state; a deed plan, a mutation or a cadastral survey. Whatever the local form, you see every document before paying a deposit, and we ask every buyer to have an independent lawyer check them.
- Title search no older than 30 days when you reserve
- Survey plan and a record of each beacon
- Subdivision approval and rates clearance where they apply
Paying in one sum or by instalments
A worked example for a $12,000 plot. Your own agreement carries your own figures, and nothing is added to them beyond what is shown here.
| Plan | Deposit | Then | Total paid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full payment | $1,200 to reserve | $10,800 within 30 days | $12,000 |
| 12 month plan | $3,600 | 12 payments of $725 | $12,300 |
| 24 month plan | $3,600 | 24 payments of $385 | $12,840 |
The instalment totals include a fixed charge for the time taken to pay, and no interest is added later. The title passes to you when the last payment clears; until then the plot is held in your name in the sale agreement and cannot be sold to anyone else. Some countries treat instalment sales as credit, and our agreements follow the rules where the land is.
What to check before buying any plot, ours or anyone's
The list we hand every buyer. A lawyer checks some of it; only your own eyes can check the rest.
- The name on the title matches the seller
- No charge, caution or dispute on the register
- Beacons on the ground match the survey plan
- A legal access road, not just a footpath
- Zoning that allows what you plan to build
- Water: mains, borehole or none
- Distance to power and the cost to connect
- Flooding, slope and soil
- Wayleaves or easements across the plot
- Land rates paid up to date
Titles, surveys and planning rules differ by country, and often by region. Take independent legal advice before you sign anything or pay more than a reservation deposit, from a lawyer instructed by you alone, never the seller's.
From a site visit to a title in your name
The usual order of a purchase. Your lawyer may add steps that the law requires where the land is.
Site visit
A guided Saturday visit, or a weekday by arrangement. Walk the boundaries and find the beacons yourself.
Reserve
A $1,200 deposit holds the plot for 30 days and is returned in full if your lawyer finds a problem with the title.
Searches
Your lawyer searches the title and checks the survey and the approvals independently.
Agreement
A written sale agreement sets out the price, the payment plan and how the transfer happens.
Payments
In one sum or by instalments, with a receipt for each payment and a statement every month.
Transfer
The title is transferred and registered in your name, and the original documents are handed to you.
From people who walked the plots first (example reviews)
Walked every corner on the Saturday visit and found the beacons exactly where the plan put them. Our own lawyer's search matched theirs line for line.
Buying from abroad, every document arrived before any deposit was asked for, and the monthly statement made two years of instalments easy to follow.
Asked about the stream on the farm block and was told plainly that it runs dry in the hot months. That honesty is what made the decision.

Questions buyers ask on the walk round
Can a house go up as soon as the plot is bought?
Only within the zoning, and with the permits your local planning office requires, which differ by country and district. We show the zoning of each plot, but plans for a house or a farm building are approved by the authority, never by us.
Who holds the title while the instalments are paid?
The title stays in the seller's name until the last payment clears, and the sale agreement records that the plot is reserved for you alone. Ask your lawyer how that protection works under the law where the land is.
What if an instalment is missed?
Call us first, because a short delay can usually be agreed in writing. If payments stop for 90 days, the agreement sets out what happens next, including what is refunded; read that clause with your lawyer before you sign.
Can buyers from abroad purchase?
In many countries yes, but some limit land ownership by foreign citizens or allow only a lease. Check the rules for your nationality before reserving; we can introduce lawyers who regularly act for buyers living abroad.
Who pays the transfer costs?
The buyer usually pays transfer tax or stamp duty, registration fees and their own lawyer, while the seller pays for the survey and the title search. The amounts depend on the country and the price, and we set them out in writing before you reserve.
Are the plots really surveyed?
Yes. A licensed surveyor surveys each one, with a beacon at every corner and a survey plan you can compare on the ground. You are welcome to bring your own surveyor to check it.
