At Juris Quorum, we assist buyers, investors, and developers in ensuring the land they’re buying is legally clean.


📝 Legal Checklist Before Buying Land

  1. Verify Title Documents

    • Ask for the latest Sale Deed / Conveyance Deed

    • Ensure the seller has legal title and ownership

    • Cross-check with Mutation Records & Revenue Records

  2. Check for Encumbrances

    • Obtain an Encumbrance Certificate (EC) from the Sub-Registrar

    • This will show if the land is mortgaged or under dispute

    • Ensure land is approved for your intended use (residential/commercial)

    • Check Master Plan Zoning, CLU approvals, and Conversion Certificates

  4. Examine Waqf, Temple, or Government Claims

    • Cross-check with Waqf Board, Gram Panchayat, or government records

    • Many lands have religious trust or government claims unknown to buyers

    • Visit local court websites for ongoing or past cases

    • Inspect if any Section 144, 145 CrPC orders or municipal notifications exist

  6. Physical Site Verification

    • Speak to local residents or landowners nearby for history

  7. Get a Legal Opinion, Property Dispute ??
