Buying land
Dunums, land registration, and what to check before you commit to a plot.
- Checks to make before buying a parcel
What to confirm yourself before committing to a parcel: title, boundaries, access, classification, costs, and the one question worth asking the seller last.
- Area C and building permits: what it means for a land buyer
The West Bank is divided into Areas A, B and C, and the classification decides which authority issues a building permit for a parcel — which is why it decides much of the price.
- The dunum: how land is measured, priced, and compared
One dunum is 1,000 square metres. What that means for prices, where per-dunum comparisons stop being useful, and why we publish a size range.
- Is this land registered? Tabu, unregistered land, and what sits between
The first question about any parcel is not the price — it is what documentation proves who owns it.
