The number one barrier to land ownership is a lack of financing options. With Hitchcock Land Company it's simple:
As soon as you pay the downpayment and the contracts are signed, start using it!
Typically this is something the buyer has to cover at closing. We just like our customers to know what they are buying, that’s why if your go through the land ownership program we will do a title search within the first year of your term and share that with you. This will save money at closing, even more money if you use our lawyer!
Four simple steps from choosing your land to owning it outright.
Once you've chosen your land, your term length can be 12, 24, 48, or 60 months.
Depending on the term you select, a one-time Land Ownership Program fee is added to the purchase price — this fee covers all the benefits you receive from the program and the fact that Hitchcock Land Company is financing the land for you.
If you pay off any term length within 12 months, the Program fee is refunded.
Pay off any term within 12 months and the Program fee is fully refunded.
All we need to draft the contracts is: a photo of your driver's licence or government-issued I.D., which land you've chosen, and your term length with the date you can have your down payment paid by.
That date becomes the start date of the contract and when you can start using your land.
We send the contracts through DocuSign via email — then on to the next step!
Within 12 hours of signing, a $500 deposit is due.
The remainder of your down payment (full amount minus the $500 deposit) is then due before the start date of the contract.
With your down payment fully paid, you can start enjoying the use of your land.
Other than paying your monthly payment, the only other thing you have to manage is what you're going to do with your land!
30 days prior to your last payment, we schedule a closing date with the lawyer(s), and title is transferred to you on that date!
We've covered the flexible payment options, the ability to use your land right away, and the fact that we get a title search done on your land, but there is so much more we do to help remove those common barriers that make land ownership feel complicated, expensive, or out of reach.
When your term is up, we must transfer the deed into your name. This would usually result in legal fees of over $1000 on your end. With Hitchcock Land Company we make sure you save 10-20% on your bill if you use our lawyer, this savings is in addition to the savings on the title search and land titles application, which are added on top of the legal fees.
A culvert to get to your land and a place to park your vehicle is the first step in using your land. We offer heavily discounted installations to clients in the program, because we do them ourselves to avoid the crazy prices out there for culvert installation. Another great perk, we also give you the ability to add the majority of the price into your monthly payment plan.
Navigating zoning and permit applications to develop and/or use the land as you choose can be difficult the first time around. Hitchcock Land Company will help you navigate this system. Just let us know what you are planning, even if you are unsure whether a permit or variance is required, and we will assist.
In New Brunswick the new registration system is called Land Titles. Any time land is sold that is not in Land Titles, it is at the expense of the buyer to pay to have it put into the system at closing. We aren't down with that for our Land Ownership Program customers, so we do it for you before the end of your term. Another benefit to a property being in the Land Titles system is that it is quicker and more straight forward when transferring title at closing.
Most of the land we sell does not have a civic address, usually because it is vacant land. If you desire a civic address to be assigned to your land, so you can receive mail and/or other services to your land, or just to assist in directing friends and family to it, that is something we will get done for you, again, as a courtesy for being part of the Land Ownership Program. You also get one of those sharp looking blue civic number signs you see all over the place.
There is a certain amount of administration required in owning land, from zoning and permits, to organizing the payment of annual property taxes. While the term is active we will be your administrative support for all things land related.
