Private buyer work record

Check a property before you buy

Use this 12-step checklist to organise title documents, EC, Patta, survey, boundaries, access, approvals, dues, site condition and professional review for a property in Kanyakumari district.

Important: This tool does not provide legal clearance, clear title, an automated decision or a safe-to-buy label.
Privacy: The record is stored only in this browser on this device and is not sent to our server.

No public badge: Your progress is private, is independent of the seller and never changes the property's public information or verification status.

Recording progress. This is not a safety score. Counts items you marked as evidence reviewed, concern found, or not applicable.
1. Identify property and seller

Confirm the exact property and the person claiming authority to sell.

Record a private reference, property type and locality without personal IDs
Compare seller identity with the name and capacity shown in the title documents
If an agent, heir, co-owner, company or power-of-attorney holder acts, examine the authority and all required participation
Owner identity and authority guide Power-of-attorney property guide
2. Match deed and parent chain

Trace how the claimed owner obtained the property and check continuity.

Obtain readable copies of the current deed and relevant parent documents
Match names, survey details, extent, boundaries and shares across the chain
Record every gap, correction deed, unregistered claim, inheritance or partition question
Parent documents and title-chain guide Inherited property guide
3. Check EC and mortgage release

Use the Encumbrance Certificate as one record search, not as a title certificate.

Search the appropriate period and exact property identifiers on the official service
Compare EC entries with the deed chain and investigate missing or inconsistent entries
Obtain and independently verify release or satisfaction evidence for loans and charges
TNREGINET and EC guide EC and mortgage-release limits
4. Match Patta and land records

Compare revenue records with title papers while recognising their limits.

Check current Patta or applicable urban land record on the official portal
Compare owner entries, survey or sub-division number, extent and classification
Record mutations, joint Patta, pending transfer or mismatch for professional review
Patta, Chitta, FMB, A-Register and TSLR guide
5. Check survey, boundaries and access

Match records to the land on the ground and establish lawful access.

Compare deed schedule, FMB or survey record, stones, measurements and occupied boundary
Ask a licensed surveyor to identify encroachment, shortage, overlap or subdivision issues
Verify that road or pathway access is legally supported, usable and adequate for the intended use
Boundary, access road, FMB and survey guide Road width, setback and access overview
6. Check classification and government-land risk

Investigate classification, prohibited interests and public-land risk.

Review A-Register or applicable records for classification and land description
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
Government land and poramboke guide Land use and reclassification guide
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
DTCP and local-body approval guide RERA verification guide Completion and occupancy documents
8. Check taxes, utilities, association and dues

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
Property tax and utility-dues guide Apartment due-diligence checklist
9. Inspect condition and locality risks

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

Inspect structure, drainage, water source, access, occupation and visible encroachment
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
Coastal and environmental research Kanyakumari locality guides
10. Obtain independent professional review

Use appropriate independent professionals before commitment.

Give the complete document set and unresolved list to an independent property advocate
Use a licensed surveyor and engineer where boundary, extent, access or condition requires them
Confirm official records directly with the competent authority and lender where applicable
Buyer document centre Official verification hub
11. Record advance and agreement safeguards

Do not let an advance remove the need for unresolved checks.

Record property identity, parties, price, document obligations, deadlines and possession terms in writing
Make refund, forfeiture, finance, title, measurement and approval conditions explicit and professionally reviewed
Use traceable payments and obtain signed receipts; do not upload payment or identity details here
Complete pre-advance checklist Sale registration process
12. Complete registration and post-registration changes

Verify the final document and complete record changes after registration.

Compare the final deed and schedules with the reviewed draft before signing
Confirm registration details and securely retain official copies and payment records
Apply for Patta or record mutation, tax and utility changes, association update and safe document storage
Post-registration checklist Sub-Registrar Office finder

What the workflow covers

One record for the checks that answer different questions

No single deed, receipt, EC, Patta, approval or portal result proves everything. Compare records with one another and with the physical property.

Title and authority

Seller, deed chain and EC

Record who claims authority to sell, how title is traced and whether registration-record searches raise questions.

Land identity

Patta, survey and boundaries

Match village, survey, subdivision, extent, classification, boundary and access details to the property on the ground.

Planning and condition

Approvals, use and inspection

Check each claimed approval with the competent authority and inspect site, building, services and locality conditions.

Decision safeguards

Professional review and agreement

Carry unresolved concerns to the appropriate advocate, surveyor, engineer, lender or government office before commitment.

Official verification

Use the exact property identifiers on government sites

Match the correct street, village, survey number, subdivision and jurisdiction. A nearby record or seller-provided screenshot is not a substitute for the exact current record.

Common questions

Property checklist FAQs

Understand what the record does, where it is stored, how progress works and which official routes support verification.

Does this checklist prove that a property is safe to buy?

No. It is a private work record that helps you organise checks and unresolved concerns. It does not provide legal clearance, confirm title, approve a property or guarantee a transaction.

Where is my checklist information stored?

The work record is stored in this browser on this device using local storage. It is not sent to the Kanyakumari Properties server. Do not enter personal identity numbers, deed numbers, bank details or payment information.

What does Evidence reviewed mean?

Use Evidence reviewed only when you have examined relevant evidence for that item. It does not mean the evidence is legally sufficient or that an independent professional has approved it.

Why is checklist progress not a safety score?

Progress counts items marked as evidence reviewed, concern found or not applicable. A completed percentage says only that statuses were recorded. It does not measure legal or technical risk.

Which official sites should I use for property checks in Tamil Nadu?

Use TNREGINET for applicable registration services and EC routes, the Tamil Nadu land-records portal for available revenue and survey services, DTCP for planning information and TNRERA when a project falls within its scope. Match the exact property and jurisdiction.

Can I download or print my work record?

Yes. The tool can download a plain-text summary or open the browser print dialog so you can print or save a PDF. Review the unresolved-items section before relying on your notes.
