Before you buy a property, you must look into the legality of the actions you are about to take. Take time to study the demarcations made by the authorities at the department of development. Make sure that you are not breaking any laws or regulations if you decide to build or add parts to the existing structures. Once you have truly understood all the government policies and the other legal actions, you can make an informed choice and buy the property.
Appoint a lawyer or a solicitor to check the original title document of the property that you are about to purchase. It will be his job to check that the document is authentic and that you are not being duped. If you do get cheated, there will be numerous complications. Banks will not want to issue you a loan against your property as the title was unclear. Also, selling the property would be a huge problem. Owners with fake documents would rather sell off the property quickly and are a lower price that had been listed earlier. If this happens, do not secure the property immediately. Instead, take some time to look into the legality of the documents. You can also issue a public notice in the newspaper that you are purchasing the property. If there is any dispute, it might just come to your notice in time for you to deal with the issue before buying the property.
If you are truly worried about the legality of the title document, you can hire an investigator to look into the history of the property.
Once all the legal issues have been dealt with, you can proceed to the next step of buying the property.
