1. Documents
Ask for the registry or fard, check the seller's name on the record, and make sure there is no dispute or loan on the land. Do this through a lawyer or the revenue office.
2. The real size
Measure the plot yourself (four sides and a diagonal — our plot area calculator does the maths). Check whether the deed uses a 225 or 272.25 sq ft marla — the difference on a 10 marla plot is 470 sq ft.
3. The ground
Filled ground, old ponds and steep slopes need deeper foundations and cost more. Ask neighbours about rain water and flooding. A soil test before you buy costs far less than a wrong foundation.
4. Access and services
Road width, sewer, water, electricity and gas connections. A narrow street can make construction slower and dearer.
5. Rules
Check that the area allows the building you want (house, shops, number of floors) and that the society or scheme is approved.
