There are a number of traps you need to be aware of when buying a farm or lifestyle block.
Examples of these are:
- Climate, contour, topography, aspect
- Soil type and fertility status
- Water supply
- Contaminants and residues
- Weeds (noxious) and Pests (ticks, worms, rats)
- Drainage
- Subdivision potential
- Carrying capacity
- Potential for adding improvements and value
Don't be fooled by a fast talker and end up with a property that doesn't suit you.
