Purchasing a property or owning a house is an important thing in
one’s life. However, one needs to be careful while buying a property to avoid
falling into legal hassles. Before buying a property a number of checks need to
be done to confirm that the land has a clear and marketable title. The legal
status of the property is one of the first issues that should be addressed. The
documents required for scrutiny of the title will vary in each case.
