10 Steps and 10 Tips

Step 4: Check the Utilities

The availability of utility services affects the value of your property. If power and telephone lines aren't nearby, it can be costly to bring them to your land. It would also be a good idea to perform a Percolation Test of the soil to determine the suitable septic site for your property.

• Tip 4: Some landowners prefer a more remote experience, while others would like to have these utilities readily available. In any case, understand what you are getting into and take these items into account when considering how much you are willing to pay.
