Today, land investment is more accessible than ever. The industry is moving towards more structured, transparent dealings, with clearer documentation and reduced ambiguity. Digitisation is further making the process faster and easier.
Why Do Many Buyers Prefer Buying Without A Site Visit?
Today’s buyers are okay with buying a property without visiting it, particularly in the case of plots. Sometimes it's a choice, but often it's driven by practical constraints. Plots in Dholera Smart City project especially are offering this comfort of buying to many. Here are the top 4 reasons Dholera buyers prefer buying land without visiting -
- Distance from Delhi - Dholera Smart City is over a 1000 km away from Delhi. Traveling there is a really long journey. Hence, many people skip visiting the site before buying.
- Busy business schedules - In today’s world, work schedules have become increasingly hectic. Travel time has increased and so have work commitments. Visiting far away sites is becoming difficult day by day.
- NRI buyers - Many of the investors in Dholera are NRIs. Considering Dholera’s potential, it’s a popular investment spot amongst NRIs. They also generally buy without visiting.
- Early stage development area - Dholera is in its early stage of development. Hence, being still in the making, there is more vision than infrastructure here currently. With not much to see, people make investments with a studied bet.
Today, serious buyers depend more on documents and clarity than physical visits.
The Biggest Risk Of Buying Without Site Visit
Buying without visiting poses a high risk. The most common risks are as follows:
- Fake projects - It has become a common practice to develop marketing of projects and plots that are non-existent. To avoid fake projects, visit the site or check the RERA registration number on the government website.
- No clear ownership - Ambiguity in ownership is an alarm sign for buyers. Unclear titles result in complex procedures and disputes later, causing unanticipated costs.
- Agricultural land sold as NA - Construction is forbidden on agricultural land. If one invests in such land, it could only be used for agriculture, making it a tricky investment. Converting agricultural lands to NA is also a time-consuming and costly legal process.
- Wrong location claims - Location is a big factor when buying land. Many sellers misrepresent their project location in such a way that buyers believe that their plots are extremely close to major infrastructure. In reality, they are not that close or a longer route needs to be taken to reach the plot.
- No real development - Dholera plot prices rise as development progresses. Many times developers claim that their project and nearby public infrastructure are complete to a certain level and charge accordingly, but in reality the promises of completion remain unfulfilled.
Dholera has a lot of opportunities, but there is also considerable confusion causing unanticipated costs to the buyer.
7 Things You Must Verify Before Buying
The main question is: how to verify land in Dholera? Buying land without visiting is risky but there are some steps you can take to avoid being caught in a trap. Here are 7 things you can do before buying to safeguard your investment -
1. Clear title - While buying land, check with government records for the title clearance of the land. A clear owner must be defined for smooth transfer after sale. Also, check for any legal disputes registered on the land. Avoid lands with legal disputes.
2. NA status - While buying a plot in Dholera for development purposes, check that the land has an NA status i.e. a non-agricultural status, that allows further development on the plot. Agricultural land has developmental restrictions hence they must be avoided.
3. TP scheme - Any plot in Dholera must lie in one of Dholera town planning schemes. These are approved concentrated development zones. While purchasing a plot in Dholera, ensure that it falls under approved planning.
4. Exact location - Whenever any developer claims a project’s location, make sure to verify its location and proximity to nearby infrastructure on Google Maps. Always cross-verify brochure claims regarding location and nearby amenities of any Dholera plot.
5. Government connectivity - A plot’s value fluctuates based on its connectivity. Check for the plot’s connecting roads, proximity to the Ahmedabad Dholera Expressway and the Dholera International Airport. Good connectivity increases the possibility of it being a legitimate project.
6. On-ground development - Indicators of a legitimate plot in Dholera are roads leading to it, markings surrounding it, and boundaries around it. Check for these three to confirm the plot’s location and configurations.
7. Registry ready - It is suggested to buy plots which have all documents required for Dholera plot purchase in place and are registry ready. If, due to whatever reason, registry is not possible, do not proceed with the purchase.
