Simply contact one of our experience Sales Representatives in assisting you in purchasing or providing your own lot.

* IMPORTANT: There are a number of things to consider when buying or providing your own lot such as "hidden costs" that are included in a Patterson Homes lot/home purchase package price. If you don't, it's then your perceived "good lot deal" often becomes a bad deal of unexpected cost! Therefore you must consider such costs and things as:

• Is the lot level, will it need fill hauled in or out
• Is there an existing drive approach or will it need to be cut and poured
• Are all the improvements there - such as sidewalks, curb/gutter, asphalt, etc
• Is there any broken or cracked concrete walks that will need replacement
• Are all the utilities stubbed into the property or will the road have to be cut to get to them.
• Do you know all utility locations and depths … i.e. sewer depth in order to set the home at the proper elevation/height
• Does it come with an engineered "soils report" to know if engineered fill needs to be brought in and compacted (this is expensive!)
• Is there a water table problem and what is the water table in that location. Is there a flood pain
• Is there a survey and are corners clearly marked with survey pins
• What CC&R's (covenants, conditions, and restrictions come with the property) and are there HOA fees
• Has a preliminary title report been provided and will the seller pay for premium Title Insurance (link to AL Title Insurance)

These are just a few of the things to consider when providing or buying your own lot so that Patterson Homes can effectively build you your new home! And not too worry, at Patterson Homes we build on buyer's own lots all the time!
