A farmhouse is a lifestyle purchase and an investment. Because many farmhouses sit on agricultural land outside society limits, a little extra checking protects you.
Before you pay a token
- Land record: check the fard and the registry/intiqal so the seller's name and area match.
- Demarcation: get the boundary measured by the patwari so the wall matches the record.
- Access: confirm a legal, metalled road to the gate.
- Water: check the bore depth and water quality.
- Electricity: confirm the connection and its load.
- Society rules: inside a gated farmhouse scheme, check the transfer process and any bylaws.
Running costs
Budget for a caretaker, lawn and pool maintenance, security and electricity.
We handle these checks for every farmhouse we sell. See farmhouses for sale.
