Banks check both the land (the title and the approved layout) and the building (an approved plan that matches what was actually built) before they sanction a loan. Our house document checklist lists every paper you'll need.
What to check
- Compare the approved building plan with the house as built: floors, setbacks and extensions.
- Confirm the plot is in a DTCP/LPA-approved layout, or that a regularisation order exists.
- Pull a 30-year Encumbrance Certificate on TNREGINET and trace the parent documents.
