10 Steps and 10 Tips

Step 2: Consider Legal Access

Legal access to any property can have a significant impact on the property's value and its usability. Further investigation into legal access is merited if the property you are considering for purchase is not adjacent to a public road. If the parcel does not already have it, securing legal access is possible but can be costly and time consuming.

• Tip 2: Always ask the seller about legal access or obtain a legal description of the access from your realtor. Seek legal advice if you are considering the purchase of a parcel that does not have
  legal access.
