Before paying for land, ask to see and understand the following:
• The title documentation for the parent parcel or the individual plot, and an official search confirming the registered owner.
• The seller's identification and authority to sell.
• The sale agreement, including price, payment schedule and obligations on both sides.
• Survey or subdivision approvals and a clear map showing the plot location.
• Receipts for every payment you make.
If anything is unclear, seek advice from an advocate before proceeding.
