Your criteria for finding the ideal plot of land for sale will most probably include location and price range, among other things. When looking for land for sale, identifying your planned land use will immediately narrow down your selections. If you are searching for a place for your new residence the factors that are most important are typically: proximity to amenities, road access, access to services, the residentially-zoned neighbourhood, as well as an ideal topography for your new home's building site. An important note for those that wish to finance their land is that most banks and financial institutions will only lend for the house/structures and up to 5 acres of land. If you are looking at a large plot of land, the rest would need to be paid outright.
