Listing standards

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 Listings whose on-ground location contradicts the pin are unpublished until corrected.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 planthe sanctioned plan showing your plot within the approved layout (RERA / DTCP / planning authority).
  • Survey map or sketchthe plot's survey number and boundaries as recorded.
  • Title deedyour 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 landplots under litigation, with contested ownership, or notified for government acquisition.
  • Land you can't sellplots you neither own nor hold written authority to sell, government or forest land, or land whose transfer is legally restricted.
  • Misleading titlesclaiming approvals, dimensions, or distances the plot doesn't have (“5 min from Airport” that is forty).
  • Duplicate listingsthe same plot posted more than once, reposted to look fresh, or copied from another user's listing.
  • Anything that isn't a plotPlotsLand 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.
