• Can we improvise boundaries of a land in new sale deed?

I am going to buy a house which was constructed on an open land with east, north and south boundaries marked as ‘Open land of XYZ’ and west facing boundary marked as road. This land is originally an agricultural land and current owner converted into non-agriculture land and constructed a house very recently. In the north direction the open land is brought by someone else and now it’s constructed as house and they have a house number too, it’s no longer an open land. Now my question is can we update the north boundary with house number by removing ‘Open land of XYZ’ since it gives more accurate boundiaries in the new sale deed which will be registered in favour of me. Please advise

Yes, it can be added, you can inform your vendor about it and ask him add bounded on the northern side by a vacant land now with a house property in door number or belonging to the new buyer. 

Even otherwise it is not going to create any problem to your purchase of properties nor its boundaries as mentioned in the mother deed of the property

You need to do for rectification deed in the said case. If you improvise it in fresh deed the earlier deed may have the discrepancy continued

It is always better to mark the boundaries with survey numbers, including sub-division nos., if any, instead of stating them as properties belonging to x, y or z. Survey nos. are permanent landmarks for easy identification. In your case, the plot no. can be given, as the agricultural lands have already been converted into house sites.

Dear client,

When agricultural land is converted for non-agricultural purposes, there are specific legal procedures that need to be followed. This conversion usually involves obtaining permission from the relevant authorities or government departments. If the status of the land has changed, such as the northern boundary being converted into a house with a designated number, it's possible to update the boundaries in the new sale deed to reflect the accurate and current status of the property. To update the boundaries in the new sale deed, you'll need to provide evidence or documentation supporting the current status of the land. This might include updated survey reports, clearance certificates from local authorities, and any other relevant paperwork showing the change in status. It's crucial to verify the title deeds and ownership documents of the property to ensure there are no disputes or legal issues associated with the changes in boundaries. This verification helps safeguard against future complications or disputes. You an reach out to us for further assistance
