The Essential 7-Point Legal Checklist When Buying Plots in Tamil Nadu

Ensure 100% Peace of Mind Before You Register

Buying land is one of the most rewarding financial milestones for any family. However, thorough legal due diligence is non-negotiable. At Sree Hari Realty Promoters, every single layout undergoes rigorous scrutiny by senior legal counsels before launch.

1. DTCP & Local Authority Layout Approval

Verify that the layout layout has a formal DTCP approval number with clear demarcation of roads, open space reservation (OSR) park areas, and corner plots.

2. TNRERA Registration

All modern plotted developments must comply with Real Estate Regulatory Authority standards, protecting buyers from developmental delays and unfulfilled promises.

3. 30-Year Encumbrance Certificate (EC)

An updated EC (Villangam) ensures there are no existing mortgages, court stays, or prior claims on the property.

4. Clear Title & Parent Deed Chain

The uninterrupted chain of title ownership dating back at least 30 years must establish clear legal lineage from original patta holders to the promoter.
