When investing in land, you as a buyer, should conduct proper research to avoid potential risks and fraud. You should ensure the property is registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA).
You should also check the land survey number with the local municipal authorities. You should confirm the property's legitimacy, ownership, and other related details by checking the land records.
Consult legal professionals to go through the relevant documents and perform title searches. Visit the site to verify if it matches the given description. You must also stay vigilant against fraudulent activities.
Apart from these points, you should be suspicious of offers with unusually low prices or incomplete documentation. Ensure the seller has obtained all necessary No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from relevant authorities.
Ensure the property is encroached upon to avoid legal disputes and alter the property's value. Finally, you must clarify all payment terms and vet the sale agreement before signing to avoid any confusion later.
