Buying a (p)lot of land? Where to start?

[pennybarry]

Hi folks

I want to help my partner to buy a plot / lot of land so her family can build a house. Right now they are at risk of being asked to leave their home. Can anyone help clarify the process? My partners family do not know how to go about it. The land will be in my partners name.

Walesrob - I'm sure I read somewhere that you live outside Tacloban somewhere? If so, what process did you have to follow. Did you need a Filipino lawyer to do this?

Thanks for any help

First, you need to choose place which you think better to live for you. Not floody area, not polluted, no squatters around and really nice place.

You only need lawyer if you are buying second hand properties. The lawyer will make DEED OF ABSOLUTE SALE for you and payment can be done infront of the lawyer.

But if you will buy newly developed house/plot in a subdivisions or village, and you will be the first owner, then you will directly transact with the developer and agent. Developers have their own lawyer.

If you'll love to live close to Tagaytay, Laguna and Cavite, I have some properties owned by friends that is for sale. There are installment basis too if you want first owner for new villages. PM me if you want to see photos


I have chosen mine in Sta Rosa, Laguna and Tagaytay as I love this place for reasons
