Though the apartment culture has captured Bangalore, the original Bangalorean still prefers an independent house.
In present days, as the cost of land has sky rocketed, independent houses on smaller plots are preferred.
Title of property is required to be traced for at least 43 years to the origin, with successive deeds of transfer, wills, partition deeds, family trees, encumbrance certificates, and revenue records such as Khatha endorsement, Khatha Certificate, Khatha extract, tax paid receipts.
Apart, from the above check it is necessary to check whether the land is converted for residential purpose, and the layouts are approved by BDA or BMRDA.
Legally, BDA sites and Housing Co-operative Society sites are best, provided all the documents are correctly scrutinised.
