What Is a Fake Plot Agent?

A fake plot agent is a person who:

  • Is not the real owner
  • Does not have the legal authority to sell the land
  • Shows fake documents
  • Gives false promises, such as “price will double in 6 months.”

Their main aim is to take advance money and disappear or sell illegal land.

Why Fake Agents Are Common in Hyderabad?

10 Smart Ways to Avoid Plot Fake Agents in Hyderabad

1. Never Trust Only WhatsApp & Phone Calls

We can see that fake agents mostly work only on:

  • WhatsApp
  • Phone calls
  • Telegram

They avoid meeting in the office.

Real example:

Ramesh from Kukatpally paid ₹50,000 in advance after seeing WhatsApp photos. The agent blocked him the next day.

Rule: 👉 Meet face to face. No meeting = No deal.

2. Ask for the Office Address

A genuine agent will always have:

  • Visiting card
  • Office address
  • Registered business name

You should visit the office once.

Red Flag 🚩

  • “Office renovation is going on.”
  • “I work from home only.”

3. Meet the Actual Land Owner

Always ask:

“Can I meet the land owner directly?”

If the agent says:

  • The owner is abroad
  • The owner is busy
  • The owner will come after the advance

❌ You should STOP immediately

4. Verify Documents Before Paying Even ₹1

You must check important documents:

Get documents verified by:

  • A good property lawyer
  • Sub-Registrar Office
  • Never trust photocopies only.

You should read the documents you need to check while buying a plot.

5. Check HMDA / GHMC Approval

I think you are seeing in Hyderabad lots of agents say “approved layout, verify it.

You can check with:

Fake agents often say: “Approval is in process.”

This is very risky.

6. Don’t Believe Very Cheap Prices

If market price is ₹30,000 per sq. yard and agent offers ₹15,000…

🚩 Big danger sign

You know that cheap plots are usually:

  • Government land
  • Disputed land
  • Lake buffer zone
  • Road-affected land

7. Always Do a Site Visit (Day Time)

You must visit the plot:

  • In daylight
  • With nearby locals

You can ask locals:

  • Who is the owner?
  • Any disputes?
  • Any government issues?

You know that fake agents avoid site visits or push night visits.

8. Never Pay the Full Amount Without Registration

Correct payment method:

  • Token amount (small)
  • Agreement
  • Registration at the Sub-Registrar Office
  • Then full payment

You should not pay full cash before registration. You can read the Plot Registration Process.

9. Avoid Emotional Pressure & Urgency

Fake agents say:

  • “Only today’s offer”
  • “Another buyer is waiting.”
  • “Last plot left.”

Real property deals don’t force you. Take your time.

10. Take Help From Trusted Local Experts

If you are new to Hyderabad or an NRI:

  • Take help from experienced consultants
  • Choose someone with a local reputation
  • Check Google reviews
