Investment land

This usually describes the purchase objective and project stage; by itself, it is not a legal classification or a guarantee of appreciation. Infrastructure may be future, limited or still in the authorization process.

  • Review the delivery horizon and what is actually included.
  • Separate commercial projections from contractual commitments.
  • Estimate future access, construction, service and maintenance costs.

Semi-serviced land

The term usually suggests partial infrastructure, but the word alone is not enough. Request a specific list of what exists, what is contractually promised and what depends on a third party or later phase.

  • Access and roads: surface, width and legal status.
  • Electricity: feasibility, installed network and actual connection point.
  • Water and sanitation: planned solution and installation responsibility.
  • Stormwater, lighting, security and waste collection.

Serviced or urbanized land

Evaluate completed or authorized infrastructure, not renders alone. A service “nearby” is not necessarily a service “at the lot”, and feasibility does not always mean the individual connection is installed or paid.

  • Request infrastructure and urbanization authorization.
  • Confirm which services reach each lot and which require separate contracts.
  • Verify who will receive, operate and maintain the infrastructure.
  • Review delivery dates and delay provisions in the contract.
