How to Investigate the Title of Land in Simple Steps

Read Time:-2 Min

Before you buy a piece of land in Maharashtra, it is pretty important that you ensure its title is clear. This process keeps away the legal issues. Here's how you can investigate a land title in simple steps.

Title Search

Go to the land registry in that area to obtain information about its history. Find the records that state the previous owners and loans or claims on the property by showing the 7/12 extract.

Abstract of Title

An abstract of the title would give you a summary of the legal history, reflecting the change in ownership and the issues relating to the property.

Property Deeds

Check the property deeds to ensure who owns the land today. Also, these records will outline any restrictions, such as who may use the land.

Measure the Land

Hire a surveyor to survey the land. This will help one to know what actually is the boundary of that land and where the neighbors are using parts of the land.

Search Court Records

Look up court records to see if the property is involved in any lawsuits. For example, there could be a question over who owns the land.


Tax Records

Verify property taxes and that there are not other issues, like unpaid taxes or tax liens that have not been discharged.

Local Laws

Look into local zoning laws that may be able to keep you from doing certain things on the land. Some areas will not allow building or any kind of development.

Talk to Neighbors

Talk to people living nearby to know the history of the land. They might be aware of problems like boundary disputes.

Hire Legal Help

Always take the services of an attorney or a land expert like Genuine Plots, who will guide you appropriately as you analyze this land.

By taking these measures, you will have all the information concerning the title of this property and will not have any issues concerning the title in the future.
