One thing many land buyers overlook is Estate Service Charge.
Before acquiring land in an estate, always ask about the service charge and what it covers.
Service charges are usually used for....
✅ Estate security
✅ Road maintenance
✅ Drainage systems
✅ Street lighting
✅ Waste management
✅ General estate management.
A low purchase price may look attractive today, but if the service charge is too high or unclear, it can become a burden later.
As a buyer, don't just ask...."How much is the land?"
Also ask...📌 What is the annual service charge?
📌 Is it fixed or subject to increase?
📌 What facilities does it cover?
📌 Who manages the estate?
An informed buyer makes better investment decisions.
Always understand the total cost of owning property, not just the cost of acquiring it.
This type of question positions you as an intentional and Smart buyer.
