NRI Guide: How to Buy Land in Ooty or Anaikatti from USA/UK? (2025)

👋 Hi Sir/Madam — Planning to Buy Land in Ooty or Anaikatti?

You’re living in USA, UK, Canada or Dubai — but your heart is still in Tamil Nadu hills.
You want to buy 1 acre farm land, villa plot, or DTCP approved land near Ooty — but scared about:

• “Will they cheat me?”
• “How to pay from abroad?”
• “Who will take care of documents?”
• “Can I visit and check land?”

Don’t worry — we’ve helped 50+ NRIs like you. Here’s the FULL step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Choose Location — Ooty vs Anaikatti

👉 Our Suggestion: If you want peace + value + legal safety → Anaikatti is BEST for NRIs.

Step 2: Check These 5 Documents (Must!)

Before paying even 1 rupee — ask for:

1. DTCP Approved Layout Plan (Not just “approved” — see real document)
2. Patta / Chitta (Land ownership proof)
3. Encumbrance Certificate (EC) — last 30 years clean
4. Tax Paid Receipts
5. Site Map with Survey Number

Step 3: Payment from Abroad — Legal Way

You CANNOT send money as “gift” or “family support”. Must use:

✔️ Option 1: NRE Account Transfer

• Open NRE account in Indian bank (SBI, HDFC, ICICI)
• Transfer USD/EUR → INR
• Pay seller directly — keep all receipts

✔️ Option 2: SWIFT Transfer

• Ask developer for bank letter with project details
• Mention purpose: “Payment for residential plot purchase”
• Keep UTR number safe

Step 4: Site Visit — What to Check?

Even if you trust us — please visit once. We’ll arrange free pickup from Coimbatore airport/Ooty bus stand.

Check these during visit:

• Is the road motorable?
• Is water available?
• Are neighbors good?
• Is the view clear (no future building block)?
• Is boundary marked properly?

📸 Take photos + videos — share with family.

Step 5: After Buying — Who Will Take Care?

We offer FREE after-sale service for NRIs:

• Yearly land photos + video update
• Tax payment reminder
• Fence/land maintenance (optional paid service)
• Rental help if you want to rent out farmhouse later
