Identify the parcel accurately
An address may not fully identify a vacant parcel. An assessor’s parcel number, location information and any available survey or map help establish what is being discussed. Explain whether the proposed sale includes one parcel or several and whether any structures are present.
Do not assume a marketing map establishes a surveyed boundary. A buyer may need professional review of boundaries, title matters and access before reaching conclusions.
Describe access, utilities and known limits
Provide what you know about legal and physical access, utility connections, existing improvements and any reports you already have. Identify the source of the information and which points still require verification.
A nearby house, large lot or preliminary concept does not guarantee subdivision, another dwelling or a particular use. Planning jurisdiction, the parcel’s facts and applicable requirements must be reviewed.
Discuss development potential responsibly
805 is interested in land and larger opportunities within its Central Coast service area. A conversation can assess whether a parcel merits further review, without committing to purchase or asserting a development outcome.
If you have an application or approval, describe its actual stage and provide the relevant documents through the agreed process. An idea, a submitted application and an approved project have different implications for a buyer.

Questions worth asking
Will 805 buy land without an approved project?
The team can discuss the parcel and determine whether further review makes sense. No purchase or development outcome is guaranteed.
Is an online map enough to establish the boundary?
Do not rely on a marketing map as a substitute for appropriate survey and title review.
