As towns and cities grow, there is always a mad rush for land in anticipation for future development challenges but should this mad rush force you to buy land anywhere, possibly no. In acquiring land there are certain checks that you have to bear in mind if this acquisition is to turn into your comfortable and ideal future investment. And among these checks to look out is, if your site has developmental potential.
For a land to be development potential you have to look out if that area has room for expansion. A congested site location has planning challenges and is highly susceptible to become a slum, the noise and air quality becomes a challenge but also the disease burden is high because maintaining good sanitation and hygiene is not all that easy in such an environment.
In Mbarara city for example if you are to invest in buying land why not look at places like Katojo, Igongo in Biharwe division and Kakoma in Kakika division. These remain ideal because they still have vast lands for expansion. The good point is that Amity Realtors has estates in all these places with several plots up for you to invest in for a home or commercial house/building.
Another check you have to look for is the environment of the area. Is the area flood risk or not .A flood risk area will not easily attract investment and development simply because it will be costly but also a health hazard.
Drainage also remains important in the development of an area, in most cases areas where drainage has been a challenge these have turned into slums because it can’t attract serious investment besides the cost of living here being expensive especially in mitigating drainage challenges.
Neighbourhood is also key in determining whether an area has a development potential. Whereas neighbourhood appeal largely matters on one’s choice, they are factors that remain common and these include accessibility, appearance and amenities. A neighbourhood that is easily connected to roads and public transport will be potential for development.
Also the appearance of an area like landscaping, community spaces also depict a development potential. The availability of amenities like shops, stores, and restaurants in the neighbourhood also shows a development potential of an area. Schools, health services ,water within reach also is a check that you have to look for to know if that area you are buying land or plot is development potential.
A neighborhood that has less crime is also key. When a neighbourhood is prone to criminality, the chances are less that development is likely to trickle fast in that area if you are buying land or plot.
Working through all these details is very expensive and at times requires someone with special knowledge and skills .This is one of the reasons that for example you need to work with a real estate company to help you through this. At Amity Realtors we will help you go through this detail, we are always committed to share basic information relating to the value, opportunities of the land you are buying.
