You need to secure a legal opinion from a good advocate on the title of the property. Further, take a Encumberance certificate for 12 years to check that the vendor title passed on is good no mortgages etc are charged on the property. A paper advertisement in atleast two newspapers in the area where the property is situated. Check the municipal & electricity receipts to check on whose names the connection is held. Although all these precautions are before purchase of the property, hold the original registered sale deed with you which is sufficient.

No Encumbrance Certificate, absolute sale deed, khata or rtc pani, tax paid receipts (upto date). sale deeds of all the previous transactions, as also rtc, tax paid receipts. In case there is a building, then, sanction plan, in case of agricultural land - conversion certificate notifying the land for conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural.
