Buying a plot in Nashik is exciting — but the paperwork can feel overwhelming. This step-by-step guide walks you through exactly what to check, which documents to collect, and what it really costs in 2026.
Step 1: Confirm the plot is NA-sanctioned
Land in Maharashtra must be converted from agricultural to Non-Agricultural (NA) use before it can be legally used for residential building. Always ask for the NA order — buying non-NA land for a home can create serious legal issues.
Step 2: Verify RERA registration
If the plot is part of a registered layout or project, check its RERA registration on the Maharashtra RERA (MahaRERA) portal. RERA registration adds transparency and legal protection for buyers.
Step 3: Essential documents checklist
Ask the seller/developer for:
- 7/12 extract (Satbara) — ownership and land records
- NA sanction order
- Sanctioned layout / plot demarcation
- Title certificate from a lawyer
- Encumbrance certificate (no pending loans/disputes)
- Approved plan and commencement documents (if applicable)
- Property tax receipts
Step 4: Get a legal title check
Have a property lawyer verify a clear and marketable title — ideally tracing ownership back 30 years. This single step prevents most future disputes.
Step 5: Understand the total cost
Beyond the plot price, budget for:
- Stamp duty (varies in Maharashtra — confirm the current rate)
- Registration charges (typically ~1%)
- Legal & documentation fees
- Development / infrastructure charges, if any
Step 6: Registration
The sale deed is executed and registered at the Sub-Registrar’s office. Both parties (or authorised representatives) must be present with ID and the required payments.
Step 7: Mutation (name transfer)
After registration, apply for mutation so the plot is recorded in your name in the revenue records. Don’t skip this — it confirms your legal ownership on government records.
Buying with confidence
The safest path is to buy from a reputable developer with RERA-approved, clear-title plots — it removes most of the risk from this checklist.
