Short answer: Before buying land, verify legal status, land use, restrictions, access, utilities, environmental conditions and technical feasibility. The purchase price is only one part of the real development cost.
Legal and cadastral status
Title, ownership, boundaries, regime and obligations should be reviewed by qualified professionals. A sales brochure is not a substitute for due diligence.
Land use and restrictions
Confirm height, density, site coverage, setbacks and other conditions. Coastal or environmentally sensitive areas may require additional review.
Subsurface and water
The Yucatán Peninsula karst geology makes site conditions important. Where required, technical studies should precede final foundation design.
Access, power, water and drainage
A desirable lot can require major infrastructure investment. Check construction access, power, water, sanitation and development restrictions.
