Buyer decision before money moves
Last reviewed: 3 October 2026
Published by Kanyakumari Properties
Pause until the exact property, person receiving money, title path, official records, site and written conditions have been checked. Urgency is not evidence.
Primary task
Complete the checks as one connected review. A correct seller name cannot repair a wrong survey number, and a clean EC cannot establish the physical boundary.
Match the current deed and site using district, taluk, village or town, survey and subdivision, stated extent and boundaries. For a plot, house or apartment, also match the plot, door or unit and the applicable plan.
Open the related check →Match seller identity to the title record. If an agent, attorney, heir, company, co-owner or representative is involved, establish the written authority and transaction capacity before money moves.
Open the related check →Have an independent property advocate review the parent and current deeds, partitions, settlements, releases, inheritance or court records that form the chain. Do not rely only on the most recent deed.
Open the related check →Search the correct TNREGINET jurisdiction, identifiers and a period suitable for the title chain. Read each returned EC entry and resolve a missing, inconsistent or unreleased item.
Open the related check →Compare available Patta, A-Register, FMB, TSLR or related records with the deeds and physical parcel. A revenue or survey record is not a substitute for a complete title opinion.
Open the related check →Establish the legal basis and physical condition of access. Check land classification, surrounding use, planning context and the approvals claimed for the exact plot, building or project.
Open the related check →Walk the boundaries and approach. Note occupation, encroachment indicators, road width, level, drainage, water, utilities, structures and nearby conditions. Use a licensed surveyor when identity or measurement is uncertain.
Open the related check →Record the exact property, parties, total consideration, advance amount, payment mode, document obligations, due-diligence conditions, target dates and the circumstances governing refund, adjustment or forfeiture. Obtain independent legal review.

The advance decision should be based on current, matching evidence for this property, not on a future correction or an unrelated nearby record.
Written advance terms
The appropriate document and wording depend on the transaction. Have an independent property advocate draft or review the terms before payment.
Identify every party, their capacity, the exact property and the person legally entitled to receive the payment.
Record total consideration, advance, payment mode, date, balance schedule and what each amount includes or excludes.
List the originals, copies, official records, approvals, tax or utility evidence and clarifications the seller must provide.
State how title review, survey, access, classification, approval, finance or other unresolved checks affect the transaction.
Record the target for review, balance payment, registration, possession, handover and any agreed extension process.
State the agreed refund, adjustment or forfeiture circumstances and the consequences of a party failing a stated obligation.
Property-type differences
The same advance template should not be used blindly for vacant land, an approved plot, a constructed house or an apartment.
Focus on the exact survey parcel, subdivision, extent, classification, cultivation or use context, water and drainage, legal access and boundary survey.
Match the claimed layout approval, survey details, road and open-space plan, plot number, dimensions, access and applicable local-body records.
Verify the underlying land and also the building plan, constructed footprint, setbacks, tax or utility accounts, condition and occupancy or completion evidence where applicable.
Match promoter and project, phase, approvals, exact unit, area basis, undivided share, parking, common rights, completion status and association or maintenance records.
Payment evidence
A bank entry proves that money moved. It does not repair missing authority, unclear terms or defective property evidence.
Official government routes
Portal interfaces and deep service links can change. Start from the official homepage, use the exact property identifiers and save the date and basis of the check.

Do not let one document stand in for title, survey, access, classification, approval or physical inspection.
Common questions
Answers about token receipts, seller authority, EC, survey, agreement terms and payment evidence.
Confirm the exact property, seller and recipient authority, title chain, EC, land and survey records, legal access, classification, approvals, site condition and written transaction terms. Keep every mismatch unresolved until current evidence and suitable independent review address it.
A short receipt may omit the property identity, document obligations, verification conditions, dates and refund or forfeiture circumstances that matter if the transaction does not proceed. Use a written document suited to the transaction and have it independently reviewed.
Do not assume that a broker, relative or other intermediary has authority to receive money. Verify written authority, the receiving account, the agreement wording and the legal effect with an independent property advocate before transferring funds.
No. An EC is registration-record evidence for the identifiers and period searched. It does not by itself prove complete title, physical boundaries, legal access, land classification, planning approval or the absence of every unregistered claim.
If the property identity, measurement, occupation or boundary is uncertain, keep it unresolved. A licensed survey and comparison with deeds and applicable survey records may be necessary before deciding whether to pay.
It should accurately identify the parties and property and record the advance, payment mode, total consideration, document and verification obligations, target dates, registration and possession arrangements, and the agreed consequences if stated conditions are not met. Obtain property-specific legal drafting or review.
Use a traceable channel only after the recipient and authority are verified. Make the payer, payee, amount, date, purpose and property reference consistent across the bank record, written agreement and signed acknowledgement. Retain copies securely.
