I am staying at my workplace, 250 km away from my native place/home town. I visit there once in one or two month. I want to buy a land property at my native place/home town. After purchasing, there may be any chance of illegal possession of land in my absence. My question is: 1) what should I do before and after purchase of land to avoid encroachment in my absence??

- After purchasing the said land, you must have some evidence/proof to show your physical possession of the land.
- So, if it is open land then you should put a fence around the plot, and build a at least a temporary shade room there.
After purchasing the property you can secure the property by fencing the boundaries either by barbed wire fencing or a concrete compound wall.
You get property revenue records transferred to your name and also the property taxes.
Additionally you can deploy a security staff
There is fool proof mechanism to avoid crime.
There are preventive measures only which include fencing your property and keeping watch on it by visiting it from time to time.
Hello,
BEFORE THE PURCHASE:
Title Verification: Conduct a thorough title search to verify the ownership history and ensure there are no disputes or pending litigation related to the property.
Physical Inspection: Visit the property personally or appoint a trusted representative to inspect the land physically. Take note of the boundaries and any existing structures.
Documentation Review: Verify all legal documents related to the property, including ownership documents, previous sale deeds, and tax receipts.
Local Regulations: Familiarize yourself with local land laws and regulations to understand your rights as a landowner and the procedures for registering the property.
Neighborhood Inquiry: Talk to neighbors or local residents to gather information about the area, any potential disputes, or instances of encroachment
AFTER THE PURCHASE:
Secure the Property: Install boundary markers or fences to clearly demarcate your property boundaries.
Regular Monitoring: Visit the property periodically, if possible, or appoint someone trustworthy to visit and inspect the property in your absence. This helps in detecting any unauthorized occupation early.
Installing CCTV cameras: In case of any encroachment or unauthorized occupation, CCTV footage can serve as crucial evidence to support legal action.
Legal Notices: If you suspect any unauthorized occupation or encroachment, immediately issue legal notices through a lawyer to assert your ownership rights and demand vacation of the property.
Local Authorities: Keep local authorities informed about your ownership and visitation patterns. They can assist in monitoring the property and taking legal action against encroachers if necessary.
Lease or Rental Agreements: If not using the property immediately, consider leasing or renting it out under a legally binding agreement to ensure regular monitoring and use.
You have to protect it from encroachment by building an all-round compound wall or a barbed-wire fence. Additionally, you may erect a notice board saying that you are the legal owner of the land and trespassers will be prosecuted.
Dear Client,
Before purchasing the land, conduct thorough due diligence by verifying the property's title and ownership history through official land records and engaging a reliable local lawyer to draft a comprehensive sale agreement. After purchasing, erect clear boundary markers or fencing, regularly visit or appoint a trusted local caretaker to monitor the property, and establish good relations with neighbours to stay informed about any suspicious activities. Ensure all necessary documents, such as the sale deed and updated land records, are securely stored, and consider registering the land under your name in local government records to maintain legal clarity.
Proper title check from purchase and after purchase, wire fencing pr wall with gate and board with owner name.
