Start with identifiers
- Write down the plot number and survey-related details used in the transaction.
- Review the dimensions on the approved layout and relevant documents.
- Do not assume a nearby vacant area is the selected plot.

On-Ground Verification
Verify the Plot Boundary Before You Buy
A buyer should be able to answer a simple question: “Which exact piece of land am I buying?” Boundary and measurement verification connects the document file to the physical plot.
Practical Checklist
What to review
Check on the ground
- Ask for the plot corners/boundaries to be identified.
- Compare frontage and depth with the plan.
- Observe road position and neighboring plots.
Use professional measurement when needed
- For high-value or unclear boundaries, consider a qualified surveyor or relevant professional.
- Keep any measurement sketch/report with your due-diligence file.
- Resolve discrepancies before final payment or registration.
Buyer Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can a site visit alone be insufficient?
Visual inspection is useful, but exact dimensions and legal identity should also be matched to the plan and documents.
What if the measurement differs from the plan?
Do not ignore the difference. Ask for clarification and professional verification before proceeding.
Use this guide as a starting point—not a substitute for plot-specific verification.
Ask for current documents, inspect the exact plot and use qualified legal, survey, tax or registration professionals where your transaction requires them.
