Key elements of property location include;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Availability of essential amenities like health care facilities, malls, schools, transport stations, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infrastructural development; areas with essential industrial facilities, business buildings, connecting highways, etc have great market value.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural environment; including greenery, eco-friendly features, security, well maintained road, solar energy, clean drainage system, community park, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landmark and zoning regulation; the property usage permit in that location can also influence its market value.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Property Type<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This determinant can be categorized into two (2), they are residential and residential properties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The price of a residential property is determined by the building type, whether it is an apartment, condo, duplex, etc. The number of rooms and available facilities including outdoor spaces, parking spaces, etc are also taken into consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commercial property values are influenced by factors such as office outlets with their number of rooms, single retail outlets, industrial business spaces, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Title Document<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Property titles clearly state the ownership right to the property. It proves that the seller has the legal right to transfer ownership to the buyer without any consequence. A valid <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sterlinghomesltd.com\/obtaining-the-right-documents-during-property-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">property title<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> confirms that the property is legally valid and that the buyer is protected from any legal issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essential property title document include;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Certificate of Occupancy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; which gives the buyer an ownership right over the property for 99 years after which renewal is required.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Governor&#8217;s Consent<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; this document validates the legal transfer of property from the previous owner to the new owner. It serves as a proof of legal transfer in the transaction process.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Registered Survey<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; it is simply a survey record of the property that is registered with the government authority. It recognizes the last registered owner as the one with the legal right to transfer the property ownership to another.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Property Condition and Features<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This refers to the physical state of the property that is usually assessed during inspection. A new or well maintained property would be valued more than an old property in the market.

For instance, some properties are marked as commercial zones (business districts) while some are marked for residential zones (living spaces). Real estate properties with flexible or mixed use permits have more value than ones with single use permits. These usage permit and zoning regulations have great influence on the property market value. Most buyers prefer to acquire properties located at mixed-use zones because it gives room for free development.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the various factors that determine property value gives you the confidence to negotiate when acquiring property.
