Land classification matters.
Nanjai land depends on irrigation and carries higher registration and land ceiling rules. Punjai and dry land suit rain fed crops or long term holding. Ask what the land has historically grown before you buy it.
Water and approach roads.
Canal access is not the same as borewell access. Walk to the source, measure the depth and ask neighbours what happens in summer. The approach road should take a tractor or water tanker in any season.
Boundaries and encroachment.
Farm land boundaries are often marked only by old trees or irrigation cuts. A survey is small money compared to the dispute it prevents. Commission it before registration, not after.
Income reality.
Coconut and palm plots give steady income but high maintenance. Paddy land is labour intensive. Dry land suits long hold. Match the land to what you will actually do, not what you wish to do.
Buying from Chennai or abroad.
Share the target use and we will do the ground walk, photo and video documentation and send honest updates. Remote buyers should also engage an advocate for a title opinion.
