For first-time buyers: how to buy one plot well
Most first buyers ask which village. The better first question is which unit, and the best is what paper the seller can show today.

A simple plan
- Set the total budget, then subtract about 7.5% for stamp duty, transfer duty and registration, plus lawyer and document fees.
- Pick a village for a reason you can say aloud: a campus, a court, a road, a town. Read its village page.
- Ask for the unit, plot number, final allotment certificate and registered deed before visiting.
- Visit with the GIS layout; look at the street, not the plot.
- Get an EC and a written title opinion.
- Register at the sub-registrar; then apply for mutation.
Five mistakes
- Paying a token before seeing the final certificate.
- Buying by GPA.
- Believing "near the airport".
- Assuming a commercial plot can be used as residential.
- Borrowing against expected appreciation.
