You have to wait for the conversion.Until and unless the land owner gets a black and white confirmation about the property converted to non agricultural, it is not advisable to venture into this purchase.

As per the notification, the coastal land up to 500m from the High Tide Line (HTL) and a stage of 100m along banks of creeks, lagoons, estuaries, backwater and rivers subject to tidal fluctuations, is called the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ).

Hence it is always better that you wait until the conversion approval is obtained by the landowner and then obtain a legal opinion before purchasing the property.

Dear client,  

The likelihood of the conversion of the property from agricultural to non-agricultural use will depend on various factors, including the specific rules and regulations of the local authorities and the prevailing land use policies. However, if the property is not being used for agricultural purposes and is surrounded by similar properties with houses, there may be a decent chance of it being reclassified as non-agricultural.

To ensure a smooth and successful conversion process, it is advisable to hire a local lawyer who specializes in property law and has experience in handling similar cases. The lawyer can guide you through the application process, review the necessary documents, and represent you before the relevant authorities. The lawyer's fees may vary depending on their experience, reputation, and the complexity of the case, so it is best to discuss this with the lawyer directly.

To get the process started, the seller may need to provide various documents, such as the property deed, survey map, and tax receipts, among others. Your lawyer can advise you on the specific documents required and help you obtain them from the seller.
