Land for sale

Plots by permitted use

• Residential land. A plot for building a home. Check whether electricity, water, sewerage and gas networks are nearby; you can also filter listings by these utilities.
• Forest for sale. Forests differ in tree age and species, which also affect the price. Forestry land appeals to investors and people seeking a place to relax in nature. Ask whether a forest management plan exists and what felling it allows. Owners of adjoining forest plots and the state may have pre-emption rights, so the seller must notify them of the transaction.
• Agricultural land. Additional purchase requirements apply, so check them with the National Land Service before the transaction.
• Garden association plots. Usually smaller and cheaper, but ask about association fees and winter road maintenance.

Where should you look for land?

Land is listed throughout Lithuania, in cities and rural areas. For plots within city limits, browse land in Vilnius, Šiauliai or coastal Palanga. If you do not want to build, compare the offers with houses for sale.

What should you check before buying a plot?

• Permitted use, boundaries and area in the Centre of Registers' REGIA mapping system: whether the plot has been formally established and cadastral surveys completed.
• Special land-use conditions, such as electricity line or water body protection zones, which limit where you can build.
• Access: whether the road is public or crosses a neighbour's land, and whether an easement is registered.
• The municipal master plan, which shows proposed development in the surrounding area.
• Price: plots of different sizes are easiest to compare by price per are; one hectare equals 100 ares.

A plot is transferred under a notarised sale and purchase agreement, and ownership is registered with the Centre of Registers.
