Before You Go for a Legal Opinion on a Land Purchase, Check This First
One of the most common mistakes land buyers make is relying only on the marketing sheet or sales brochure.
A layout advertisement usually comes with:
✅ A layout plan
✅ A plot list showing the area in square feet
You may see a plot listed as 10,000 sq. ft. and immediately start planning your investment, arranging funds, or even dreaming about building your future home.
But here's the catch.
When you carefully examine the approved layout, you may discover that the actual plot area shown is nowhere close to 10,000 sq. ft.—sometimes not even 7,000 sq. ft.
Before approaching an advocate for a legal opinion, take a few minutes to:
• Verify the plot dimensions shown in the layout.
• Calculate the actual area based on the measurements provided.
• Check whether roads, common areas, OSR land, or other deductions have been incorrectly included in the advertised extent.
• Compare the approved layout with the sales brochure and plot schedule.
A legal opinion is essential, but basic verification by the buyer can prevent disappointment and help identify issues early in the transaction process.
The numbers in the brochure should match the numbers in the approved layout.
