One hears wild stories about people being taken for a ride by unscrupulous developers and/or land disputes with previous owners. How much of it is true and how can one safeguard against such dealings?
Unfortunately, some of it is true but a lot of it is exaggerated as well. India is no different from other countries and you’ll find the over-zealous “smarty” waiting to take advantage of your initial gullibility like anywhere else. If you research your project thoroughly and follow basic precautions you should have no trouble. Your best bet is to set yourself up with a renowned commercial bank and ask them for references to reputable lawyers and real estate agents.
