Checklist before buying a land

Dear Mr.Hussain, 

1. Get a due diligence by a seasoned property lawyer in your area to ensure there are no faulty chains in the chain of title i.e the property has been cleanly passed on sucessively. 

2. Revenue/MCD Records have to be examined. 

3. Deed Examination. 

4. Meticulous drafting of Sale Deed etc.

Feel free to talk !
