Land utilities: a nearby network is not enough

A network running near a plot does not prove a suitable connection is available. Ask the provider about capacity, requirements and cost. Include connection lead times and necessary equipment in the project plan before committing to an operating date.

Practical steps

1. Define power, water and drainage needs with the project engineer
2. Request a documented provider assessment instead of a seller's estimate
3. Clarify responsibility for connections, off-site works and required permissions

General guidance. Consult qualified professionals on legal, financial and technical matters specific to your transaction.
