⚠️ Important Considerations for Land Buyers in Telangana
⚠️ WARNING: Many property disputes in Hyderabad outskirts arise from measurement confusion. Verify everything before purchase!
📄 Check Legal Documents
- Verify Patta / Title Deed mentions correct measurements
- Cross-check with TS ROR (Record of Rights)
- Ensure Survey Numbers match government records
- Check for Encumbrance Certificate for last 30 years
📏 Verify Physical Boundaries
- Hire licensed surveyor for actual measurement
- Check boundary stones / markings
- Verify FMB (Field Measurement Book) with Tahsildar office
- Watch for discrepancy between gunta and sq. yard measurements
🏗️ Infrastructure Impact
- Check road widening proposals (HMDA/GHMC)
- Verify setback requirements for future construction
- Inquire about utility corridors (electricity, drainage)
- Research master plan for area development
💰 Financial Verification
- Bank valuation uses square yards/feet, not guntas
- Verify guideline value vs actual price
- Check property tax assessment records
- Calculate registration charges based on correct area
📍 Common Problem Areas: Many sellers in areas like Shamirpet, Moinabad, Hayathnagar, Ibrahimpatnam still use "gunta" measurement, while banks and registration offices use square yards. Always convert and verify!
