IF broker is now providing detail of seller, avoid the deal. Find some local lawyer who will prepare search report from sub registrar office.
Buy a land
I am planning to buy a land which is purchased 40 years back by a land owner, we have checked the EC, there is no encumbrance, the land is registered with the same name which is there in the copy of the orginal land document, the land documents contains only the name and the old address, now they are not living in the same place, Now how to verify land owner details with this only copy of the land document. Brokers are not providing their contact details also, Is that fine i can verify these all the details on registration date. please let me know.

Ask seller to produce original title deeds for inspection
2) further insist on
per meeting with the seller . Enter into agreement for sale and only if title is clear and marketable enter into sale deed
3) check whether property taxes have been paid tilldate
Need not to go for any address verification. Ensure the person selling the land and signing the deed are the same person as appearing in the existing registered deed. You can ask for any Id proof of your seller. If the property is passed on to the legal heirs ask for legal heir certificates. Always ask for ID proof and address proof of seller. The person need to come to sign deed when you can verify his identity.
You can do so. But it's better you find the same before registration
As the sale deed is 40 years old, it will not contain the signature of the buyer, who now is the seller. The sale deed must have been a deed poll, executed only by the seller thereof. Besides the father's name and age, there would not have been anything to establish the buyer's identity, and certainly there would not have been a photograph. It is better to contact the seller before you pay the sale consideration and sign the sale deed, and satisfy yourself about his identify beyond any doubt.
See before registration you should go for search report and further I would advise you to apply for bank loan even if you are capable to pay the bank shall search throughly.
Also ask for chain documents from the said person.
It would be better for you to take proper legal guidelines by showing complete files of your case to an advocate so that you can take a right path to handle your issues
It will be hard for you to verify the proper details of the property that you propose to buy now by yourself or even on the advises received from this forum or any other online forums.
You may better engage the services of an advocate who has an expertise in this field who will properly guide you after scrutinising all the documents and on demand of any other additional documents including ECs for more than 40 years etc.
Any opinion given in this regard without scrutinizing the property documents and all the relevant papers, it would be a misguidance hence you may follow as suggested.
