Consult with Property Experts: How to Resolve Common Land & Document Issues Before Buying or Selling Property

Buying or selling property in India is rarely as simple as matching a survey number and signing a sale deed. Many transactions get delayed—or completely stuck—due to missing documents, incorrect land records, unclear ownership rights, or government restrictions that buyers discover too late.

At mypatta, a large percentage of users approach us before disputes arise, seeking expert guidance to understand and fix documentation issues. This proactive step saves time, money, and legal trouble.

Why “Consult with Expert” Is Critical in Property Transactions

Most property problems start silently in land records, revenue registers, or legacy documents. These issues may not be disputes yet—but if ignored, they often turn into legal conflicts later.

Consulting a property expert helps you:

  • Identify missing or incorrect records
  • Understand ownership and rights clearly
  • Rectify errors before registration
  • Build buyer confidence
  • Avoid future litigation

Common Property Issues That Should Be Consulted with a mypatta Expert

1. Missing Document Issues

Many property owners do not have complete title documents, especially for old or ancestral properties. Missing sale deeds, gift deeds, or partition deeds break the ownership chain and raise red flags during sale.

2. Missing Document Number Issues

Sometimes documents exist, but document numbers are missing or incorrect in EC, registration slips, or revenue records.

Why this matters:

  • Buyers cannot verify ownership
  • Encumbrance Certificate (EC) becomes incomplete
  • Property registration may get rejected

3. Missing Entry in EC / Adangal / ROR-1B

Even after registration, some properties do not reflect correctly in:

  • Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
  • Adangal
  • ROR-1B

This creates confusion around ownership, possession, and land status.

4. Missing Passbook Entry Issues

A property owner may have a passbook, but recent transactions, mutations, or subdivisions are not updated.

5. Missing Passbook Issues

In many rural or semi-urban areas, landowners never received a passbook despite legally owning the land.

6. Dotted Land Issues

Dotted lands are properties marked with restrictions due to:

  • Government claims
  • Assigned land conditions
  • Unclear ownership history

These lands are considered high-risk unless verified carefully by experts.

7. Patta Issues

Incorrect patta details, outdated pattas, or joint pattas are common obstacles during property transactions.

8. Subdivision Issues

Subdivision problems occur when:

  • Land is divided but records are not updated
  • Old survey numbers continue to remain active

9. Right of Way Issues

Access roads are often missing from official records or are informally used, leading to disputes later.

10. NOC Land Issues

Some properties require No Objection Certificates (NOC) due to:

  • Local authority restrictions
  • Specific land use classifications

11. Additional Property Issues

  • Link document identification
  • Property analysis
  • Prohibited land search
  • Property survey issues
  • Title deed rectification

Property Rights Clarification

Many ownership conflicts arise due to lack of clarity on rights. Expert consultation helps explain:

  • Know your property rights
  • Ancestral property rights
  • Self-acquired property rights
  • Husband’s property rights
  • Wife’s property rights
  • Daughter’s property rights
