Am I right in saying that
1) We need to have it surveyed first so we may know the exact location of that piece of land? Is there a technical description in a tax declaration?
2) We go to the assessor's office to check whether or not there are others who are paying tax for the same property and see to it that the tax dec is updated?
3) We go the register of deeds to to check whether or not this piece of land is titled already (worse with owner other than stated in the tax dec.)
Do we need to also check DENR to make sure that it's alienable and disposable? What does alienable and disposable mean?
What else do we need to check?
How much is the average cost for having a 3,400 sq meters titled and for how many years does it take to have it titled?
We need your guidance and thanks in advance for your help.
