Three things to check before purchasing landlocked land:
- Road access disputes. Land without a clearly established access route creates boundary and easement conflicts later. Prioritize plots with existing road frontage.
- Water drainage condition. Deteriorated drainage pipes with debris and odors significantly impact future resale value, regardless of price at purchase.
- Zoning restrictions. In areas like Lâm Đồng, non-road-adjacent parcels may be ineligible for use certificates due to access and construction dispute concerns. Even with a certificate, development approval depends on zoning classification.
Verify zoning plans through the One-Stop Shop administrative office before committing. Due diligence here is not optional.
