Key factors for evaluating this land parcel
Land Due Diligence Checklist
· Confirm zoning designation and all permitted uses
· Verify servicing (water, sewer, hydro) at lot line
· Order a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
· Obtain an up-to-date survey (boundaries, easements)
· Review development charges and levies with the municipality
· Consult a land use planner on development feasibility
Commercial Financing Note
Land financing typically requires 35–50% down with specialized lenders. Carrying costs (taxes, interest) accumulate during any approval or development process — factor these into your feasibility.
Commercial and land transactions are significantly more complex than residential. Joe recommends assembling a team — commercial real estate lawyer, accountant, and (for land) a land use planner — before making an offer.
Joe's Thoughts
Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Zoning & Permitted Use
Before anything else, I'd confirm the current zoning designation and what's permitted on this land. Zoning dictates everything: residential subdivision, commercial development, agricultural use, or mixed. The Erin planning department can also tell you what, if any, Official Plan amendments are in progress that could affect the permitted uses.
Just Listed — Land Takes Time
This parcel just came to market. Unlike homes, land transactions rarely have the same urgency — buyers need time for due diligence: surveys, environmental reports, and planning consultations. Don't let "just listed" pressure you into skipping proper diligence.
Servicing & Infrastructure
A key question for any land purchase: is it serviced (municipal water, sewer, gas, hydro at the lot line) or unserviced? Bringing services to an unserviced parcel can cost $50,000–$500,000+ depending on proximity and Erin's development charges. This can make or break a project's feasibility.
Environmental & Survey
I always recommend a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment for land purchases — it checks for historical contamination from prior uses. If the Phase 1 flags anything, a Phase 2 (soil sampling) follows. Also budget for an up-to-date survey, which confirms boundaries, easements, and encroachments.
Development Approval Timeline
If you're buying with development in mind, factor in the approval timeline. Minor variance: 3–6 months. Site plan approval: 6–18 months. Official Plan amendment or rezoning: 1–3+ years. These timelines directly affect your carrying costs — property taxes and financing accumulate the entire time. Having an experienced planner and real estate lawyer on your team from day one matters.
Let's Walk Through It Together
Evaluating land requires a different lens than buying a home. I'll walk the site with you, help you ask the right questions of the listing agent, and connect you with the right professionals — planners, environmental consultants, commercial lawyers — to make sure you know exactly what you're buying before you commit.
