Plot Purchase Simplified: Know the Process Before You Buy
Buying a plot or land is a big decision—whether it’s for building your dream home or making a smart investment. But for many, the process can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created this simple guide to take you through every step—from your first site visit to the final registration of your sale deed.
Step 1. Do Your Research
Start by identifying the right location in Pune. Areas like Bhor, Kamshet, and Mulshi are promising with good road networks, schools, hospitals, and future development prospects.
💡 Don’t forget to factor in hidden costs like stamp duty, registration charges, and legal fees while planning your budget.
Step 2. Visit the Site
After shortlisting a few options, visit the plots personally. Check road connectivity, neighborhood quality, and confirm that on-ground boundaries match the layout plan.
📸 Take photos or videos for better comparison later.
Step 3. Perform Legal Checks
This is a crucial step to avoid future disputes. Ensure:
The seller is the rightful owner
There are no existing loans or disputes
The land use classification is appropriate (residential, commercial, etc.)
Ask for:Encumbrance Certificate
Clear title documents
Step 4. Sign the Agreement to Sell
Once satisfied, sign the Agreement to Sell, which mentions:
Agreed price
Payment schedule
Terms & conditions
You’ll typically pay a token amount as an advance.
Step 5. Register the Sale Deed
This is the final, legally binding step. You’ll need:
Signed Sale Deed
Identity Proof (PAN, Aadhaar)
Passport-size photos
Latest property tax receipts
Encumbrance Certificate
💰 Pay the applicable stamp duty and registration charges at the sub-registrar's office.
Step 6. Post-Registration Formalities
