Many Chennai flat builders misuse the ignorance of buyers for their benefit. People should be advised and educated against the same. There are certain things to be done before buying a property. These precautions need to be taken as there are many properties in the city which have undergone legal litigations after the completion also. Record of the Property must be carefully verified in case one is interested in purchasing the same. This is nothing but the original signing over document of the property from the previous over to the builder/current owner with proper ownership rights. The originals deed should be further supported by tax-paid receipts, and other taxes or payments made on the property. Further selling or allotment right should also be explicitly mentioned in the deed. In the case of an already existing constructed building, the approved plan, completion/occupancy certificate etc., from competent authority should be verified.
