Legal clarity matters more than price

A property with an attractive price but unclear legal status can become the biggest risk for a buyer.
For an average buyer, it is extremely difficult to avoid all the risks that sellers or brokers may intentionally conceal in order to close a deal.

Is zoning always a bad thing?

Not necessarily. However, buyers must clearly understand:

• What percentage of the land is affected

• The expected implementation timeline

• Whether it impacts livability or resale potential

? A proper understanding of legal and zoning issues helps you buy safely and avoid disputes in the future.
