Confirm the parcel and ownership
Check parcel identifiers, title classification, shared ownership and encumbrances against the relevant records. Used boundaries may differ from registered boundaries. Road frontage, rights of access and neighbouring conditions affect feasibility. Base decisions on current documents rather than verbal statements.
Read the planning conditions
Review current information from the competent authority together with land use, development limits, setbacks and special plan notes. A single floor area ratio, height or storey figure does not describe the full development potential. Parking, utilities and other requirements may affect the viable design.
Investigate ground and surroundings
Ground investigation, surface water, slope, neighbouring buildings and site access matter early. A flat plot does not automatically mean a simple foundation. Excavation support and drainage needs require professional assessment. General statements about local geology cannot replace investigation of the specific parcel.
Develop feasibility scenarios
Develop alternative layouts by combining the brief with official conditions. Compare usable area, circulation, outdoor space and indicative cost components for each scenario. Keep uncertain items visible. Joint architectural, engineering and, where necessary, legal review helps inform the purchase decision.
Example: advertised area versus feasible space
A large advertised plot with apparent development potential does not guarantee that a preferred villa layout will fit. Setbacks, slope and access may change the footprint. A preliminary layout should show turning space, level transitions and rainwater routes as well as rooms. Before purchase, the enquiry list should state which documents will resolve uncertain conditions.
Prepare for your project discussion
Current title records; official planning status; plan notes; boundary and access checks; ground investigation needs.
Bring this list with your plot or building documents. Separate verified information from assumptions. At the first discussion, clarify scope, decision-making authority and the next assessment step.
A common question
Can the same solution be used for every project?
No. Plot, use, ground, existing work and official conditions differ. This guide supports preparation; implementation requires assessment by the responsible professionals.
