Before evaluating price

Confirm what the parcel can physically and legally support

A parcel is not necessarily buildable because it is vacant, recorded, assessed, or marketed as a lot. Verify the intended use using current evidence and the professionals and authorities appropriate to the project.

Land FAQ

Buying land in New Hampshire

How can I determine whether land is buildable?

Start with deed and title review, a current survey, legal access and frontage, zoning, wetlands and flood information, soils and septic feasibility, water supply, utilities, topography, driveway feasibility, and the approvals required for the intended use.

What is current use taxation?

New Hampshire's current-use program may assess qualifying land based on its current use rather than highest potential use. Enrollment, boundaries, stewardship provisions, changes, and land-use change tax consequences should be verified with the municipality and qualified tax or legal advisers.

Should I make a land offer contingent on due diligence?

Land investigations can require surveys, testing, engineering, agency review, design work, and time. Discuss an appropriate contingency structure, access rights, deadlines, costs, and risk allocation with your agent and attorney before signing.
