Here's How To Buy A Plot Of Land

Buying a plot of land is a complicated process and varies across states. But the overall process is the same, and typically starts with verifying the legal ownership of the land, preparing the sale deed, paying the sale value and getting the land registered at the sub registrar’s office after the purchase.

To ensure there are no complications in ownership, the buyer should scrutinise the title deed, parent deed and other supporting documents. Here’s how to go about it.

Title Deed: This will verify the ownership details of the land. Use the services of a lawyer to verify the title deed, including the property’s location, area, boundaries, survey number, and registration details.

Parent Deed: This document describes how the seller originally got the property from the previous seller. You need to check for any discrepancies between details in the title and the parent deed to avoid any future complications.

Supporting Documents: These could include the Will, legal heir certificate and death certificate of the previous owner.
