The legal, topographical and urban conditions of a piece of land can be the difference between ensuring a good investment or putting your assets at risk. Here are the requirements you must meet.

If you intend to buy a piece of land to start building your house, it is important that you pay attention to the legal and physical conditions of the lot in question, since not all of them are suitable for construction.

Here we indicate the requirements that a land must have to be considered suitable for build a house, according to information provided by the National Housing Commission.

Building a house requires an investment that can mean spending a lifetime's savings of work. For this reason, before laying the foundations, it is better to make sure that the land meets the legal requirements, such as having the documentation that indicates ownership or possession of the land or space and that it is not in any legal process.

It is also essential that you have residential land use or that you are in some urban development program, this would be one of the requirements that Infonavit asks for to grant a loan to build on your own land.

In turn, certain physical conditions of the land are required to build, among which the adjoining area, its topography, the type of soil and the services stand out.

Each house that adjoins the land where your house will be located must have its own walls in order to avoid damage to third parties.

As for the topography, you should check if there are slopes on the land, because sometimes steep slopes increase the cost of construction and there is also the possibility that this represents a risk such as landslides.

The type of soil must be anticipated in order to know what type of foundation and structure is best for the work, identifying whether it is hard, soft or semi-soft soil.

The land must have basic services such as water, drainage and electricity, this being another requirement when going to financing programs such as Infonavit, which requires that it have all public services.

If the land they offer you has cracks or fissures greater than one centimeter, an inclination greater than 20% or is in an area of medium-high seismicity and high seismicity, be alert because it could cause difficulties when building and your heritage would be at risk. .
