If an agent, heir, co-owner, company or power-of-attorney holder acts, examine the authority and all required participation

6. Check classification and government-land risk

Investigate classification, prohibited interests and public-land risk.

Investigate poramboke, waterbody, pathway, temple, assigned land, acquisition or other government interest
Do not rely on possession, tax receipts or a listing description to resolve classification

7. Verify layout, building and RERA status

Identify the competent authority and verify each claimed approval.

Classify each claim as unverified, submitted, or officially checked against an official record
For plots, check layout approval or regularisation and whether the specific plot appears in the plan
For buildings or projects, check plan, completion or occupancy documents and RERA applicability where relevant

Collect current records, but do not treat receipts as proof of title.

Check property tax, water, electricity and other applicable dues and account details
For apartments or managed developments, obtain association statements, rules and pending assessments
Record deposits, arrears, disconnected services, shared meters or transfer requirements

Inspect the property and research risks that records alone may not show.

Research flood, coastal, slope, erosion, environmental, nuisance and infrastructure risks relevant to the locality
Use qualified engineers or specialists for structural, soil, well, septic or environmental concerns

Confirm official records directly with the competent authority and lender where applicable
