INTRODUCTION

Purchasing a property or owning a house is an important thing in one’s life. However, one needs to be careful while buying a property to avoid falling into legal hassles. Before buying a property a number of checks need to be done to confirm that the land has a clear and marketable title. The legal status of the property is one of the first issues that should be addressed. The documents required for scrutiny of the title will vary in each case.
