A Lot

A lot is a defined piece of land which is registered at the Land Registry. The documents describe how the lot is defined, which is often through iron pipes or large stones. The percentage on which you can build and other building restrictions are included in the zoning. Sometimes there are lots for sale in conjunction with a home design and a granted planning permission.

In a lot of the destination is fixed but the house can be realized within the requirements of its own design. It is important to investigate whether the wishes of the purchaser may be realized on the relevant lot.
