The land
CONTACT US
Make sure the land is definitely residential, not
agricultural or commercial. Customers have to rely
on a vendor’s word due to Mauritius’ lack of an
established land registry. Here’s what to look out for
- there is little chance that the plot is residential if it
is located in the middle of a sugarcane field. Consult
the zoning plans which are kept in district councils,
for extra help.
The view Never underestimate the transportative
powers of a good view. Even if your home and its
amenities are not all that, a picturesque view can
revive even the blandest of abodes. When buying
land, ensure the view is scenic and promises to
remain unobstructed after you invest in it.
Accessibility
Whether you’re looking to live at your property or
monetize on it, accessibility is key. Building your
creative getaway in the middle of nowhere may
sound like a poetic dream, but it could cost you big
bucks. Contractors could charge a premium rate to
accommodate for travel costs.
Natural elements
If the land is located by the seaside, study its humidity and the tide situation. If it’s on the outskirts of
a bustling city, ensure there are decently constructed roads that lead in and out of town. If you’re an
avid home gardener, make sure the lot gets enough natural light. Save on air-conditioning costs and
invest in land that gets abundant natural breeze. Pause to ponder the shape of the land and its incline.
These factors could affect your the design of your property. Keep your ears peeled for common noise
disturbances – the din of whizzing traffic, potentially erratic sounds of local wildlife and birds, a noisy
nightclub within the vicinity, the list goes on.
