What a PlotsLand listing must meet
Every listing is reviewed against these standards before it goes live. They exist for one reason: a buyer who opens a PlotsLand listing should be able to trust what they see.
Photos: at least two, and they must be real
Every listing needs a minimum of two genuine photographs of the actual plot being sold. A wide shot of the land plus a shot of the access road or frontage is the combination that works best; boundary stones, corner markers, and a recognisable landmark make a listing even stronger.
Accepted
- Photos taken at the plot, current within the last few months
- Wide shot of the land and one of the approach road
- Boundary markers, fencing, or survey stones in frame
- Honest lighting — the plot as a visitor would see it
Rejected
- Watermarked images or photos lifted from another listing
- Screenshots of maps, brochures, or other websites
- Stock imagery, renders passed off as the plot, heavy filters
- Photos of a different (usually better) plot in the same layout
Price and area: accurate, not aspirational
State the price you actually expect and the plot's correct total area and dimensions, in the right unit. Reviewers compare your per-sqft (or per-acre) figure against the locality; listings priced far outside the plausible band are held for clarification.
Bait pricing — a low headline number “to start the conversation” — is a standards violation, as is quietly padding the area or listing a saleable extent that includes road or civic space. If the price is negotiable, say so on the listing instead of inflating it.
Location: the pin must be the plot
Place the map pin on the plot itself — not on the layout entrance, the nearest main road, or a flattering landmark two kilometres away. Buyers filter and compare by location; a misleading pin wastes their site visit and gets the listing reported.
Include the locality and, wherever possible, the survey number. Listings whose on-ground location contradicts the pin are unpublished until corrected.
Legal documents: strongly recommended
You can publish without uploading documents, but listings backed by paperwork clear review faster, qualify for the Verified badge, and convert far better. Worth having ready:
- Layout plan — the sanctioned plan showing your plot within the approved layout (RERA / DTCP / planning authority).
- Survey map or sketch — the plot's survey number and boundaries as recorded.
- Title deed — your sale deed establishing ownership, with khata/patta and recent tax receipts as supporting documents.
Declare approvals exactly as they stand. “Approval applied for” must not be listed as approved — buyers verify registration numbers with the authority, and so do we.
Prohibited listings
- Disputed land — plots under litigation, with contested ownership, or notified for government acquisition.
- Land you can't sell — plots you neither own nor hold written authority to sell, government or forest land, or land whose transfer is legally restricted.
- Misleading titles — claiming approvals, dimensions, or distances the plot doesn't have (“5 min from Airport” that is forty).
- Duplicate listings — the same plot posted more than once, reposted to look fresh, or copied from another user's listing.
- Anything that isn't a plot — PlotsLand is land-only: no flats, houses, rentals, or commercial buildings.
How moderation works
Every new listing starts In review while a moderator checks it against this page — photos, price and area plausibility, pin placement, duplicates. Most listings are Published within a day; if something needs fixing you're notified with the reason, and editing key details of a live listing sends it briefly back through review.
After publishing, buyers can report a listing. Valid reports — or a failed spot-check — move it to Suspended: it disappears from search while you respond with corrections or documents. Resolved listings are republished; unresolved ones stay down, and repeated or serious violations suspend the account itself. If you believe a suspension is wrong, appeal at support@plotsland.in.
