1. "What is the exact legal status of this land?"

This is question number one for a reason. You need to know:

• Is this agricultural land, residential land, or industrial land?
• Does it have proper conversion certificates if needed?
• Are there any legal disputes or encumbrances on the property?

Why it matters: You can't build a house on agricultural land without proper conversion. Always verify the land use classification and get it in writing.

2. "Can I see all the original documents?"

Don't just take anyone's word for it. Ask to see:

• Original sale deed
• Encumbrance certificate (EC) for the last 13-30 years
• Property tax receipts
• Approved layout plans (if it's a plotted development)

Pro tip: Get a lawyer to verify these documents. Yes, it costs money, but it's nothing compared to losing your entire investment.

3. "Who are the previous owners, and why are they selling?"

Understanding the property's history can reveal a lot:

• Has the land changed hands multiple times quickly? (Red flag!)
• Is the seller the original owner or a reseller?
• What's the real reason for selling?

Real talk: If someone bought land six months ago and is already selling, ask yourself why. Sometimes there's a legitimate reason, but sometimes there are hidden problems.

4. "What's the actual cost breakdown?"

Don't just look at the plot price. Ask about:

• Registration charges
• Stamp duty
• Legal fees
• Development charges (if applicable)
• Any hidden costs or future fees

Reality check: The "final price" is usually 8-12% more than the quoted price once you add all the government fees and charges.

5. "What infrastructure exists now, and what's planned for the future?"

This question impacts both your quality of life and property value:

• Is there proper road connectivity?
• What about water and electricity connections?
• Are there schools, hospitals, and markets nearby?
• What development projects are planned in the area?

Why it matters: A plot might be cheap today, but if there's no road access or water supply, you'll spend a fortune developing basic amenities.

6. "What are the exact dimensions, and have they been surveyed?"

Never assume the dimensions mentioned in documents match reality:

• Ask for a recent survey report
• Check if the physical boundaries match the paper measurements
• Look for boundary stones or markers
• Verify there are no encroachments from neighboring properties

Common mistake: Many buyers discover after purchase that their "1200 sq ft" plot is actually smaller, or that a neighbor has encroached on their land.

7. "What can I legally build here, and what are the restrictions?"

Every area has building regulations:

• What's the maximum building height allowed?
• Are there setback requirements?
• Do you need special permissions from local authorities?
• Are there any environmental restrictions?

Example: Some areas near lakes, forests, or hills have strict construction norms. Know them before you buy.

8. "How has the property value changed in this area over the last 5 years?"

This tells you about the investment potential:

• Ask locals and real estate agents about historical prices
• Look for infrastructure development that drove value
• Check if prices are stable, growing, or declining

Smart move: Compare prices of similar plots sold recently in the same locality to ensure you're getting a fair deal.

9. "What are my payment options, and is there a payment plan?"

Financial flexibility matters:

• Can you pay in installments?
• What's the down payment requirement?
• Are there any penalties for early or late payment?
• Do they offer bank loan assistance?

Practical advice: Even if you can pay in full, sometimes a payment plan helps you keep funds for documentation, legal fees, and initial development.

10. "Can I visit the site multiple times, including talking to neighbors?"

This might sound simple, but it's crucial:

• Visit at different times—morning, afternoon, and evening
• Talk to people who already own plots or live nearby
• Check for issues like waterlogging during monsoon
• Feel the vibe of the neighborhood

Real experience: One buyer I know visited only once on a sunny afternoon. When he returned during monsoon, he found his entire plot was underwater. The neighbors could have warned him.
