Also if the south and west part of the plot is higher than north or east, it brings good luck. Also, keep in mind the Vital Five Elements of Vastu Shastra to be included in the construction of the house.
   
3. Roads around the plot: An ideal plot should be surrounded by road on all four sides and best fit as per Vastu. Any plot at the dead-end of the road is not appropriate for construction. Though, if the road connects with the width of the plot then it is suitable.
   
4. Tips for buying land-: A plot should be of square or rectangular shape, as they bring good luck for the residents. As per the Vastu square shape is considered the best. The four sides of the plot should be toward four main directions. It is advised not to buy irregularly shaped plots as they are inauspicious. T, Y, and L shaped plot are considered unsuitable.
