Land subdivision is the process of splitting a piece of land or an area of land into two or more sections. It usually occurs when a developer purchases a larger piece of land and modifies it for future use. The developers subdivide the larger piece of property so that it can be used for both residential and commercial purposes.
In the same way, housing societies and commercial areas are separated into various sizes and shapes. Similarly, we occasionally come across larger plots and occasionally smaller plots. The developers keep in mind what buyers are seeking for when creating their projects. As a result, they subdivide the land according to the buyer’s preferences and requirements.
