Records search
Check at the land office that the owner matches and whether mortgages, sale-with-redemption, attachments or registered leases exist.
Servitudes and access
Confirm public road access or a registered right of way; landlocked plots are hard to use.
Boundaries
Compare the deed map with the site; request a boundary survey if they differ.
Zoning
Check town plans and special laws such as forest or coastal zones restricting construction.
Foreigners
Foreigners generally cannot own land, but a title search is still essential before leases or real rights.
