Make your first land enquiry a useful one.

Bring the listing into the conversation

Start with the listing’s public reference, location and the question that matters most to you. Read the asking price, area and offering type first. If the parcel is for lease, check whether the price is stated per month, per year, for the whole term or without a period.

An enquiry is a request for information. It is not a reservation, an agreement to buy, or confirmation that the advertiser has authority to sell. Orbitty helps connect discovery and enquiries; it does not complete the land transaction or hold purchase funds.

Ask a small number of concrete questions

Avoid sending a long generic questionnaire as your first message. Choose the questions that would determine whether you investigate further. If the listing already answers one, ask for clarification rather than repeating it.

• Is the land still available, and is the advertised price basis correct?
• In what capacity are you advertising this parcel: owner, representative or professional?
• What is known about practical access and the services currently connected?
• Which official parcel identifiers or records can be checked through the relevant authority?
• What would be the next step for arranging a visit or an independent review?

Keep sensitive information out of the first message

You do not need to put identity documents, banking credentials or financial records into an initial enquiry. Ask how any necessary documents should be exchanged and independently verify who you are dealing with before sharing them.

Be cautious about urgency, changes to payment instructions and requests to skip independent checks. If you have a concern about a listing, use Report a concern or contact support. An identity check on an account does not verify title, boundaries, professional licences or the quality of the land.

Understand the people and labels

An individual can discover land and manage their own account and listings. Orbitty Network gives professionals and businesses a public profile and a place to describe their services, subject to its membership and publication controls. A business can have team relationships within Network; a public profile alone does not prove professional credentials or authority over a particular parcel.

Orbitty Active describes listing access. It is separate from identity verification, ownership and approval of a transaction. Look at the scope of each label instead of treating several labels as a general guarantee.

Keep a clear next step

Save the listing if you want to return to it and keep your own notes about unanswered questions. For a serious decision, use the buying-land Field Guide as a starting point for the independent checks to discuss with qualified local advisers.

Some places or listings may not support publication, enquiries or payments yet. Help shows the current publication status; the listing journey checks the location before publication. A visible place on the map does not establish permission to operate in that jurisdiction or your eligibility to buy there.
