{"_editor_airtable_record_id":"recUnCvQT4Pq4cNq1","ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Ask for documents that prove the sellers authority to sell and the land status. Start with the title deed and the latest land office certificate showing ownership. Also request the current title search or encumbrance certificate listing any mortgages or liens. If the seller is a company, obtain corporate documents showing directors and signing authority. For resale, verify that the seller matches the name on the title and check any marital or power of attorney issues. For off plan projects, confirm who owns the land, who will build, who receives payments and which entity promises completion. Ask for any rights of way, easements or restrictions that affect the property. Compare the sellers listed rights with the title plan and the survey plan. Do not rely solely on brand names or marketing documents. The aim is to identify who owns what, what is permitted, who must perform and what remedy exists.
