You must request the City Council of the municipality where you want to build your house the Certificate of Urban Development , to know reliably if you are going to buy a building land.

Factors to consider for the construction of the house if we are going to buy building land
1 · Orientation and views
Depending on the tastes of each one, the desired orientation options should be well considered.
If the plot is open on all sides, or if it is attached to some type of construction, you should know that the South, Southeast or Southwest orientations will receive more light solar that if the orientation is to the North.
If it is open this doubt will be with the dependencies, where I orient the lounge, the rooms … the location of the pool. If it is a complex location, you will always have the option of the new thermopools , a real marvel.
2 · Slope and shape of the land
Usually the more flat a terrain is, the easier it will be to build on it . In fact, if the land is very arisco, surely it is very depreciated, if you have an easy and economical way to smooth the land on your own, you can save a lot of money.
Through a topographic study the slopes and characteristics of the plot are assessed, this is done before starting the project.
3 · Type of ground
Through a geotechnical study, the foundation and possible construction problems that can make the construction of a house difficult are analyzed.
This is necessary because only with a visual exploration it is not possible to appreciate at what depth the firm layer on which it is to be built is located.

It is a fact to consider both for the realization of the construction works of the house and for the development of daily life in it.

Before buying a land, knowing the type of urbanization helps us to know if we will have to face possible expenses alone or, without the farm is integrated into an urbanization and we will have to face maintenance costs of common spaces.
In private urbanizations there may be additional costs of urbanization and maintenance of common spaces.
6 · Services (electricity, gas, water, telecommunications, sewerage ...)
It is always a good idea to check if these services exist and if the connections reach the plot. In particular, it would be necessary to check if such services exist and if the connections arrive at the foot of the plot , because if not, we must talk to all the companies involved and assume the costs that this entails.
7 · Special limitations on land purchase
It is becoming more frequent than we think, in some cases, the vegetation may be protected , so it requires a special adaptation or limitation to when planning your home.
Contact the competent authorities before proceeding with the felling of a single tree.
