Verify Land Details Before Buying: A must check which should be done with the help of a good Advcoate
Investing in land or a plot is one of the most significant decisions in a person’s life. In areas like Noida and NCR, where real estate development is booming, verifying land details is not just advisable but essential. Here are some critical factors every buyer should consider before making a purchase:
1. Type of Land: Residential or Agricultural
Land in Noida and NCR is often categorized as either residential or agricultural. Sellers may claim that agricultural land has been converted into residential land. It is crucial to verify this claim with proper documentation and conversion orders issued by the local authorities. Failing to do so could lead to legal disputes or complications in the future.
2. Check Zoning Restrictions
Ensure that the land is not situated in a riverside zone or any area prone to environmental restrictions. Such zones often have stringent regulations, and construction may be prohibited.
3. Verify Land Ownership and Legal Title
Conduct a thorough investigation to confirm the ownership of the land. The land should not have been sold to multiple buyers, and there should be no ongoing legal disputes. Engage a qualified lawyer to check the title deeds and other ownership documents.
4. Ensure the Land Is Not Acquired by Authorities
Local authorities in Noida and NCR often acquire land for development projects. Before buying, verify that the land is not earmarked for acquisition. This can be checked through local government records and notifications.
5. Moderate Risk Assessment
While buying land always carries some risk, it is vital to ensure the risks are moderate and manageable. Extremely risky plots, such as those with unclear ownership or ongoing disputes, should be avoided.
6. Check for Loans or Liabilities
Before purchasing, verify if there are any existing loans or financial liabilities tied to the land. Encumbrance certificates and records from the sub-registrar’s office can help in this regard.
7. Proper Mutation Process
Mutation is the process of transferring ownership of the land in official records after purchase. Ensure that this process is completed correctly to avoid future disputes.
8. When Buying a Flat or House
While this article focuses on land and plots, similar principles apply to buying flats or houses. Additional factors such as occupancy certificates, builder licenses, and maintenance records should also be scrutinized.
