A.Firstly, before considering any real estate deal, it's crucial to conduct thorough due diligence to ensure that the property is free from any encumbrances, legal disputes, or any other issues that may affect the transaction.

Regarding the conversion of agricultural land to residential land, it's essential to understand the relevant laws and regulations in Karnataka. The process of converting agricultural land to residential land involves obtaining a change of land use (CLU) certificate from the relevant authorities. The process can be complex, and it's crucial to ensure that all the necessary documents and permits are in place before proceeding.

In Karnataka, the process of obtaining a CLU involves submitting an application to the Deputy Commissioner of the concerned district. The application must include the land survey number, location, area, and other relevant details of the property. The authorities may also require an NOC from the local panchayat or municipality, as well as other documents such as a revenue map, land records, and tax receipts.

Regarding the buyer's accountability post-sale, it's essential to have a clear understanding of the terms and conditions of the sale deed. The buyer should ensure that the sale deed contains a clear clause specifying that the seller will provide all necessary documents and permits required for the conversion of agricultural land to residential land. The buyer may also consider adding a clause that specifies that the sale deed will be null and void if the conversion does not take place within a specified time frame.

In conclusion, before considering any real estate deal involving the conversion of agricultural land to residential land, it's essential to conduct thorough due diligence and seek legal advice to ensure that all the necessary documents and permits are in place and that the transaction is legally sound.
