- • Stage of the transaction — negotiation, contract, payment, registration or post-completion dispute
- • What each party represented about rights, boundaries, use or payment
- • Which land-administration or court authority is competent
Evidence to organise
- • Contract and amendments
- • Land-use or registration records and official documents
- • Payment and financing records
- • Correspondence, inspection material and a dated transaction chronology
Move the issue forward carefully
- 1Identify the exact document or transaction stage causing the problem
- 2Verify current land records through the competent authority
- 3Keep land-registration administration separate from a civil contract dispute
- 4Confirm the competent provincial authority or court before formal action
