Boundary & Neighbours — Overlap Check

We lay this parcel over every neighbouring lot in the cadastre to catch a traslape— where two titles claim the same ground. It's invisible on a title study and one of the costliest problems to inherit.

No overlaps

Boundary checked against 19 neighbouring parcels — no conflicts found.

AI Due-Diligence Checklist

Terrain buildability

Slope of 6% at 27 m elevation — gentle enough for standard construction without major earthworks.

Seismic risk

risk

VERY HIGH — 311 recorded quakes within 200 km, largest magnitude 7.6, nearest epicentre 5.4 km away. Any structure must be engineered to Costa Rica's seismic code (CSCR-10). This is not optional here.

Rainfall & drainage

warning

2,401 mm of rain a year. That's high — drainage and site grading need to be designed in, not added later.

Solar potential

PVGIS estimates 1,534 kWh per kWp per year — strong for off-grid or grid-tied solar.

Soil

pH 6.3, clay loam texture. Suitable for agriculture — this is what pushes the parcel's agricultural score to 90.4.

Land cover — no data

warning

OpenStreetMap has no land-cover tagging for this area, so we cannot tell you what's currently growing on it. Verify on site or with recent imagery. We'd rather tell you this than guess.

Infrastructure access

warning

Scores 38/100 — the weakest signal on this parcel. It's rural: confirm road access, power and water before committing.

Title is NOT checked

risk

LandIQ reads the cadastre — the parcel's boundary, area, plano and finca number. It does not read the title registry. Liens, encumbrances, ownership and court annotations are not covered here. Have a lawyer run the registry search before you transfer any money.

AI Q&A — Ask Anything

Can I build a house on this parcel?

The terrain isn't the obstacle — 6% slope at 27 m elevation is gentle enough to build on without major earthworks. The seismic picture is the one to take seriously: VERY HIGH, with 311 recorded quakes within 200 km and one at magnitude 7.6. You can build, but it has to be engineered to Costa Rica's CSCR-10 seismic code. Infrastructure scores 38/100 here — the weakest signal on the parcel — so confirm road access, power and water before committing. And note I don't check title: you still need a lawyer to run the registry search.

Is it any good for solar?

Yes. PVGIS puts it at 1,534 kWh per kWp per year, with 5.25 kWh/m²/day of irradiance — that's what lifts the solar sector score to 72.1. Honestly though, the stronger story here is agriculture: it scores 90.4 (EXCELLENT), helped by the soil and 2,401 mm of annual rainfall.
