The practical answer
Request available survey, site plan, permit information, utility details, and relevant recorded restrictions. Identify missing items and their significance.
Your next step
Review the complete site file with appropriate professionals.
How this fits your SWFL home search
A floor plan must fit the actual parcel, its boundaries, easements, setbacks, access, and ground conditions. Land questions deserve attention before treating an attractive plan as buildable at an advertised price.
Use surveys, local permitting information, and qualified site professionals for questions that marketing maps cannot answer.
Turn the answer into a decision
- Identify the exact home, homesite, and stage of the purchase. Bring the current written information into your comparison.
- Review the complete site file with appropriate professionals.
- Record the response, the person responsible, and any deadline. If an answer changes the purchase cost, schedule, or scope, ask where that change is documented.
- Keep unresolved items visible when comparing alternatives. Ask the appropriate qualified professional to assess questions outside a consultant’s scope.
