Land is often the biggest purchase a family in Theni makes. Choosing the right real estate company is the first – and most important – protection you have. Here are ten checks we’d ask anyone to run, including on us.
The 10 checks
- A real, local office. Can you walk in and meet the people responsible? A physical office in Theni means accountability.
- A verifiable track record. How many properties have they delivered? Can you speak to past buyers?
- Document-first approach. Do they insist on verifying title, patta, EC and approvals before any advance?
- Approval transparency. For plots, do they share the layout approval details openly?
- Honest pricing. Do they explain how the price compares with the area and the guideline value?
- Clear costs. Do they tell you upfront about stamp duty, registration fee and other charges?
- Written terms. Are commissions, payments and timelines put in writing?
- No pressure tactics. Do they give you time to verify and think?
- Registration and name transfer support. Do they stay until records show your name?
- Community reputation. Are they known in local business and community networks?
Red flags
| What you hear | What it may mean |
|---|---|
| “Pay the advance today, documents later” | No chance to verify – high risk |
| “Approval is coming soon” | The layout may not be approved yet |
| “Very cheap – below market rate” | Possible title or practical problem |
| “Don’t worry about patta” | Revenue records may not match the seller |
Questions to ask in the first meeting
- Can I see the full set of documents before paying anything?
- What is the layout approval number and authority?
- What will the total cost be including registration?
- Who will handle the name transfer after registration?
- Can I speak to a family who bought through you?
