How to Check a Plot Worth for Buying in Hyderabad?

by

As we know, buying a plot is a big dream for many people in Hyderabad. But if you buy the wrong plot, you may lose money or face legal problems.

This guide will help you check whether a plot is worth buying in Hyderabad.

I will also give real-life examples, so you can easily remember.

1. What Does “Plot Worth” Mean?

A plot is worth buying if:

  • It is legal
  • It has clear documents
  • It is in a good location
  • Its price is fair
  • It can give good value in the future

If any one of these is missing, the plot may become a problem plot.

This is the most important step.

What to check:

  • Plot should be in an approved layout
  • Approval should be from HMDA or GHMC
  • The plot should have a clear title

Simple example:

Ramesh saw a cheap plot near Hyderabad. The price was very low.

Later, he found out it was not HMDA-approved.

He could not get permission to build a house. His money got stuck.

👉 Lesson: A cheap plot is not always a good plot.

3. Check the Mother Deed and Ownership History

A Mother Deed shows who owned the land from the beginning till today.

Why is it important:

  • Shows full ownership history
  • Confirms land is not stolen or illegal
  • Helps avoid future court cases

Simple example:

Suresh bought a plot without checking the mother deed.

After 2 years, another person came and said the land belonged to his grandfather.

The court case started.

👉 Lesson: You should always ask for the mother deed.

Read: You can read complete information about Mother Deed.

4. Check Location Carefully (Not Just Google Maps)

I must say that this is a very important step. Location decides the future value of your plot.

Good location means:

  • Near the main road
  • Schools and hospitals nearby
  • Future development chances

Check distance from:

  • ORR
  • Metro (current or future)
  • IT areas

As we know, Hyderabad has fast-growing areas on many sides of Hyderabad, so you can choose wisely.

Simple example:

Two plots cost ₹20 lakh each.

One is near a planned road, and another is far inside the village.

After 5 years, the first plot value became ₹40 lakh. The second stayed at ₹22 lakh.

👉 Lesson: Location = future money.

5. Visit the Plot Personally (Site Visit is a Must)

I must say that, never buy a plot without visiting it.

What to check during site visit:

  • Is the plot really empty?
  • Are roads properly laid?
  • Any waterlogging?
  • Is electricity nearby?

Read – Site visit mandatory?

Simple example:

Online photos showed good roads.

But after visiting, the buyer saw no proper road.

👉 Lesson: Photos can lie, site visits never lie.

6. Check Plot Dimensions and Shape

Plot should be:

  • Proper rectangular shape
  • Correct size as per documents
  • Not too narrow

Why shape matters:

  • Bad shape = hard to build a house
  • Banks may reject the loan

Simple example:

One plot was triangular in shape.

The builder said the house design is difficult.

The buyer faced an extra cost.

👉 Lesson: Simple shape = easy house.

7. Compare Plot Price with Nearby Area

You should not believe the seller’s price directly.

What to do:

  • Check 3–5 nearby plots
  • Ask local people
  • Check recent sale prices

Simple example:

The seller asked for ₹30,000 per sq yard.

You can see that the nearby plots are selling at ₹22,000.

The buyer can save money. 

👉 Lesson: You should always compare prices.

8. Check Road Access and Facing

You should know that good road access increases value.

Preferred plots:

  • 30 ft or 40 ft road
  • East or North facing (many people prefer)

Not compulsory, but the resale value is better.

9. Check Water, Drainage & Soil

You should check:

  • Borewell possibility
  • No water stagnation

Simple example:

In the rainy season, the plot became full of water.

And Construction became costly.

👉 Lesson: You should visit during the rain if possible.

10. Ask About Future Development Plans

You should ask:

  • Any road widening
  • Government projects nearby
  • Metro or flyover plans

You know that approved layouts near future projects usually give good returns.

11. Verify Encumbrance Certificate (EC)

EC shows:

  • Any loans on land?
  • Any court cases?

Check – Encumbrance Certificate (EC)

You should always check the minimum last 15–20 years.

  • A small fee can save lakhs

13. Red Flags – Say NO Immediately If You See These

  • No approvals
  • Very cheap price
  • Seller rushing you
  • Cash-only deals
  • Missing documents

14. Final Simple Checklist (Easy to Remember)

Before buying, you should always check:

  • HMDA/GHMC approval
  • Clear mother deed
  • Site visit done
  • Fair price
  • Lawyer verified
  • Check LP number

If any NO, stop and rethink.
