Protecting Your Investment with Legal Due Diligence
Investing in real estate—whether a commercial plot, residential apartment, or industrial warehousing parcel—demands rigorous scrutiny of ownership documents and local development authority approvals.
1. Critical Legal Documents to Inspect
**Title Deed & 30-Year Search Report:** Confirms that the seller has clear, marketable ownership without undisclosed co-heirs.**Encumbrance Certificate (EC):** Verifies that the property is free from unpaid mortgages, bank hypothecations, or court litigations.**RERA Registration Number:** Always cross-check the project registration on the state RERA portal for sanctioned layout plans and escrow bank accounts.**Mutation Certificate (Khatauni / Dakhil Kharij):** Ensures the seller's name is registered in government revenue records.**Development Authority Approval:** Check BDA / MDA / NOIDA / GDA master plan zoning to ensure the plot is not under agricultural green belt or government acquisition notifications.
2. Checklist for Plot & Land Purchase
Physical boundary demarcation with GPS coordinates.Road width verification (minimum 30-40 ft for smooth commercial and residential access).Availability of electricity grid, sewerage trunk lines, and municipal potable water.
