Are you the proud owner of a plot of land that cannot be built on? Do you want to sell it? Are you wondering how to go about selling a plot of land that cannot be built on? Don’t worry: we will explain the solutions to consider.
Determine the buildability of the land
Before selling a non-constructible plot of land, you must determine whether the land is non-constructible. To do this, you must check the town planning documents of your municipality. The town planning documents are available from the Town Hall. These documents contain information on the area in which your land is located and in particular whether the land is constructible or not. The municipality is responsible for town planning and can modify the town planning documents at any time.
Request a modification to the Local Urban Planning Plan
If the Local Urban Planning Plan (PLU) of your municipality indicates that your land is not buildable, you can request a modification. To do this, you must send a letter to the Town Hall and submit a coherent real estate project for the land. The Town Hall will study your request and decide on the viability of your project and in particular whether your land can be built on.
Make the land viable
Your land is not buildable and the Town Hall has not accepted your request for modification. You can then proceed to the development of the land. To do this, you must submit a request for a town planning certificate to the Town Hall. Once the certificate has been obtained, you will have to carry out the development work on the land. To do this, you will have to make the connections to the networks and electricity and wastewater.
Find a buyer for the land
Once the land is serviced, you can sell it. You can find buyers for your land by contacting real estate developers or individuals. You can also place an advertisement in local newspapers or on the internet.
The consequences of unbuildable land
When your land is not buildable, this can have negative consequences on its value and resale. Indeed, buying a non-buildable land is risky, because the owner does not know in advance whether the land can be built on or not. In addition, if your land is non-buildable, you will not be able to build a house or sell the land to a company specializing in house construction.
The risks of building land
However, building land is not without risk. Indeed, even if the land is buildable, it may be difficult to sell, because some real estate developers do not invest in real estate projects when the land is too small or if the sale price is too high. In addition, urban planning can change at any time and your land can become non-buildable overnight. It is therefore important to ensure that the land is buildable before investing in a real estate project.
The advantages of building land
Despite the risks, building land can also have advantages. Building land is easier to sell than non-building land. In addition, if the land is buildable, you can build a house and make a profit from the sale of the house. Building land is also easier to service and connect to the network. Finally, building land is likely to have a higher value than non-building land.
Documents to consult for building land
When you buy a building plot, it is important to consult the town planning documents of the municipality. These documents indicate the area in which the land is located, its buildability and the town planning rules to be respected during construction. It is also important to check the Local Urban Planning Plan (PLU), which can be modified at any time by the municipality. Finally, it is advisable to request a town planning certificate before purchasing the land.
Steps to take to sell building land
Before selling a building plot, it is important to make sure that the land is buildable and that you have the right to sell it. To do this, you must check the town planning documents of the municipality and request a town planning certificate. Once you are sure that the land is buildable, you can sell it by contacting property developers or individuals. You can also place an advertisement in local newspapers or on the internet.
