We are trying to purchase a plot with Super Structure at Subhas Nagar area. The owners say they are converting the land from doba to vastu. How can we get a deep search conducted that the land is not registered under multiple owners and is legally tenable to build our own house? We would like to engage for consultation and searching.

Searching is the job done by an advocate through its  contacts at the right places. For a layman like you it would be a difficult task to do this on you own.

Hence it is advisable that you contact an advocate and get this done for better results .

When purchasing a plot with a superstructure in Subhas Nagar and ensuring that the land is legally tenable, you can Conduct a title search. Review the chain of title for at least the past 30 years to ensure continuous ownership without disputes. check the title documents with the records at the Sub-Registrar's office to confirm authenticity. Ensure the land is free from any legal encumbrances such as mortgages, liens, or legal disputes.

Verify with the local municipal corporation or urban development authority to ensure the land is designated for residential purposes. You can consult a lawyer if you need help in verifying title documents, encumbrances, and legal compliances. Should you require any further explanation, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Get the Encumbrance Certificate from the jurisdictional Sub Registrar's Office for the past thirty years in respect of the land you would like to buy.  From the EC you will come to know the entire history of the property, including the land registered under multiple owners.
