Plot Site Visit Checklist for Samastipur

A site visit tells you things documents cannot. Go in daylight, ideally more than once, and take a family member or a trusted local with you.

Access and location

• Is there a clear, legal road to the plot, and how wide is it?
• How far is it from the main road, market, school and hospital?
• Note the travel time from the railway station or your workplace at busy hours.

Boundaries and size

• Walk all four sides and compare them with the measurements in the papers.
• Check that boundary marks match the neighbouring plots and no one is using part of the land.

Water and ground conditions

• Ask neighbours whether water collects on or near the plot in the monsoon.
• Look at the level of the plot compared with the road and nearby houses.
• If you plan to build, read our guide to soil testing before finalising.

Utilities and surroundings

• Electricity connection nearby, drinking water source and drainage.
• The neighbourhood: existing houses, noise, and any industrial or commercial activity around.

Questions to ask the seller

• Why are you selling, and how long have you owned the plot?
• Are there any pending cases, loans or family claims on it?
• Will you provide all original papers for verification before the agreement?

After the visit, move on to verifying ownership. You can also compare prices by area on our locations page.
