RESIST THE PRESSURE TO FAST-TRACK BUYING LAND OR BUILDING
It is advisable that you don not let a land or building seller, his representatives or agents mount pressure on you to hasten up when buying land or house.
Sometimes sellers who pressure you as a land/building buyer to fasten up, are not genuine. Consider being pressured to pay, a red flag and proceed with caution.
When such pressure comes, resist it. Downplay it and do not be moved. Try not to be in a rush to pay (even if it’s initial deposit) or do away with any part of the land buying process, including investigating the land/building and it’s ownership.
The major aim of mounting pressure on you as the buyer is usually to make you ignore what you should give proper attention. Land or house buying should not be an emergency transaction.
There should be no urgency in it. With the help of a Property and Real Estate Lawyer, take calculated steps to be double sure.
Take your time and make your findings. Insist on getting all the information needed to help you make an informed buying decision.
Be immune to pressure from the seller and his agents. It is in your best interest that you do not rush into making mistakes when buying land or building.
Note that some mistakes, once made, can hardly be reversed or corrected.
Do not be too quick to part with your money.
Speed kills, even in property and real estate transactions.
