When you find your dream property, check the title at Lands and Surveys to ensure you know who actually owns it and if the property has road access. Also hire a surveyer to survey the property boundaries and road access. What looks like a road may just be a track through private property. Be certain to read all terms in the Alien Land Holders License carefully before authorizing payment.
