Vellayani lake properties advice

Everyone who has been to Kerala, has seen the beautifull backwater properties. Here in Kovalam we have backwater properties and land plots for sale, at Vellayani Lake behind Kovalam Junction. If you can imagine purchasing as a vacation property or an investment. It is a good idea to read the following tips

1/. Have a good look at Google earth/Map or a local map for the geography of the area, roads and lake crossings.

2/ Find out with the local and state authorities, if any projects are planned, geological surveys monitoring water depths, watershed runoff ect,ect...

3/.Check out the property, lake shore, and lake. Find out exactly where the boundry line is. Look for erosion on the beach and any water lines on shore, or trees, it can give you an idea of how much the lake rises in the monsoon season.

4/.Talk to the locals to find out about your land and the lake. When the lake rises, if any restrictions and covenants exist? What species of snakes are in the area. If you own a boat make sure the shore line and lake is deep enough to launch your boat from the property.

5/.Know what you want. Telling a Realtor what it is you want will ensure that you get just that. If you are looking for a secluded vacation home or something close to the fishing hot spots, a real estate agent will be familiar with the lake, area, and neighborhood. The chances are they will know exactly where to find what you are looking for.
