MLS® Foreclosure Listings by Property Type

Foreclosure land can sometimes present an opportunity to purchase property at an attractive price, but a court ordered sale is not automatically a bargain. The value of land depends heavily on zoning, location, development potential, access, available services and restrictions affecting the property. Buyers should investigate these factors and compare the property with relevant land sales before deciding whether the price represents good value.

Land requires different due diligence than a house or condominium. Buyers should investigate zoning, permitted uses, minimum lot requirements, access, road frontage, water and sewer availability, drainage, utilities, easements, rights-of-way and other charges or restrictions registered against the property. Depending on the location, additional considerations may include environmental restrictions, floodplain requirements, steep slopes, geotechnical conditions and agricultural regulations.

Not necessarily. A property being marketed as land or a building lot does not guarantee that a house can be constructed on it. Buyers should confirm the property’s zoning, permitted uses, setbacks, lot coverage, servicing requirements and any municipal or regional development restrictions. Where building potential is important to the purchase, buyers should investigate this with the appropriate local authority and qualified professionals before committing to the property.

No. Some properties may have municipal water and sewer available at the lot line, while others may require a well, septic system or significant servicing work. Electricity, natural gas, drainage and telecommunications may also not be readily available. Buyers should determine what services actually exist, whether connections are possible and what the approximate cost of servicing the property may be before purchasing.

Legal and practical access should always be confirmed. A property may appear accessible from a road or neighbouring property without having suitable legal access for the buyer’s intended use. Buyers should review the title, survey information and any registered easements or rights-of-way and determine whether the property has adequate road access. Access requirements can also affect future building permits and development potential.

Yes. Depending on the property, restrictions may involve streams, wetlands, floodplains, environmentally sensitive areas, steep slopes, geotechnical hazards, tree protection, archaeological considerations or other development requirements. These issues can affect where and whether a property can be developed and can substantially increase development costs. Buyers considering foreclosure land for construction or redevelopment should investigate these issues before proceeding.

Yes. Some rural properties may be within British Columbia’s Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Properties within the ALR are subject to additional rules governing land use, subdivision and non-farm activities. Buyers should confirm whether a property is within the ALR and determine whether their intended use is permitted before purchasing.

Financing land can be more difficult than obtaining a conventional residential mortgage. Lenders may require a larger down payment and may consider the property’s zoning, location, servicing and development potential when deciding whether to finance it. Buyers planning to finance a court ordered land purchase should speak with their lender or mortgage professional early in the process and confirm that financing is available for the specific property.
