After you have [[How do I find land to buy|found the land]] you want, it's time to buy it. Buying land in Second Life is easy:
 
 
# Right-click the parcel you want to purchase.
# Choose '''About Land'''.
# Click the '''Buy Land''' button.
# Review the purchase information.
# Click '''OK'''.
 
 
Of course, it's best to know what you're getting into, so take note of the following tips:
 
 
{{KBnote|1= Parcel-level maturity settings govern where they appear in Search window results. Region-level maturity settings govern actual maturity-based access to land.
}}
 
 
* Hit '''Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P''' on your keyboard to see parcel boundary lines. Make sure you know what you're purchasing.
* Take note of the About Land listings for the land's area in square meters.
* From the About Land window's '''General''' tab, check to see if objects are included in the sale.
* Read the '''Primitives Parcel Supports''' entry in the About Land window's '''Objects''' tab. This indicates how many primitives you can place on this land.
 
 
{{KBcaution|1= The '''Simulator Object Usage''' entry is '''NOT''' a measure of the object usage you will receive if you don't own the land yet!
}}
 
 
* If you have the [[How do I open the Advanced menu (Formerly known as the Client menu.)|Advanced menu]] active, try hiding objects by hitting '''Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1''' on your keyboard to make sure there isn't a hidden "hole" within the property that you're not actually purchasing with the rest of the land.
* Make sure you're happy with the overall shape of the land. Most land in Second Life can only be raised 4m above or below its original position, and the previous owner may have reached that limit already (i.e., the land you wish to raise may have already been raised 4m).
 
 
Most of all, before you buy land, make sure you're familiar with how Second Life bills for land. Read up on the [[Frequently Asked Questions from Beginning Landowners|Frequently Asked Questions from Beginning Land Owners]] before making a purchase.
