TrueBrit Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I would like to buy 40m2 of land from an adjacent lot. It would be the back of a large and seemingly unused lot and have no street frontage - it would be just to fill in the space of our 'L' shaped lot in order to expand our house. Assuming the owner will sell, what would I have to do to make this happen? Anyone know (or guess) land prices in the area behind Farmacia Guadalajara in Ajijic (San Gaspar barrio)?

Intercasa Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Have them sign a contract, get a tax appraisal, SRE permit and do the deed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Having dealt with a similar situation several years ago, Good Luck, ..my issue was the land was left to 5 sons and daughters by their Mother when she passed away..no amount of talking, negotiating, bribing could ever to get all to agree to sell. Usually 3 of the 5 would agree but there were always at least one dissenter who would not budge..even when they were offered way above market value. I finally threw in the towel after a year or 2 of trying..Good Luck and don't be suprise at the price they want when they find out you want to purchase it...also hope it is easy to determine ownership...often very difficult..

Mainecoons Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I would assume both lots would have to be surveyed and the parcel to be transferred clearly platted. What Tomas described seems to be more common around here than not. But you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBrit Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Fortunately, I am not desperate for the land, so if playing the game gets too complicated and tortuous, I am quite happy to take my ball and play elsewhere. How do I find out market value of land in Ajijic? And Spencer, do you do this sort of real estate work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I am quite happy to take my ball and play elsewhere. How do I find out market value of land in Ajijic? I'd recommend that you have a conversation with your self. And ask yourself, "Self….how much is that land worth to me?" Then when you and your self have arrived at a figure, you can walk over to your neighbors with that many pesos in your hand and ask if the amount is sufficient.

TrueBrit Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Thank you Zen-master Travis. You imply that me and my self have to be in agreement. How's that working for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerm Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Lots of advise but you still don't know how much the land value is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intercasa Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Go to the tax office to get the exact size and then see what other lots are selling for. Coldwell Banker has lots in Ajijic on the MLS for $23,500USD and they are 151M2. Century 21 has 222M2 lots for $44,400USD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBrit Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 I was advised this morning that the price will depend on how enthusiastic I appear when asking the owner if he wants to sell the land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdmowers Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Use a combination of Spencer`s and Travis` methods - determine the value of the land by what has sold around it then tell the person how much you will give. If you ask how much the owner will sell for he will look at the sky and that will be the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
