Due diligence before developing an investment property in Costa Rica
Developing large plots of land can be tedious in Costa Rica. Types of developments in Costa Rica can include: residential, agricultural, commercial, industrial etc...When developing a plot of land it is essential to investigate the municipality regulations before taking any action. They will be able to verify geographical boundaries, the maximum percentage of development allowed, land use and much more.
Consider hiring essential assets to your new development such as a Topographer that will help you analyse the land and create an accurate representation of what you might expect to happen on said piece of land. An example of this is due to Costa Rica being a precipitation dense country, it is ideal to be at the top of a hill rather than the bottom to avoid drainage issues. Keep an eye out for potential erosion issues and conduct deep due diligence before purchasing/developing plots of land in Costa Rica.
PLAN ACCORDINGLY
Take into account economic resources (all raw material costs), determine and negociate the listed price, visit the land and check the topography/zoning, compare financing plans and check local municipal laws. These are only some key steps that you must take into consideration.
ACCESS TO LEGAL WATER, ELECTRICITY AND ROAD
Plots of land in Costa Rica can be relatively seccluded at times. If you want your future development to be successful make sure it has LEGAL access to these three essential components of any development.
DUE DILIGENCE
