Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Identifies potential land parcels through brokers, landowner networks, auctions and listings, and screens them against project needs such as size, location, road access and permitted land use.
Verifies ownership and title by checking revenue and land records, encumbrances, ongoing litigation and mutation status, using state portals where records are online.
Coordinates due diligence with lawyers and surveyors on boundaries, approvals, development permissions and any pending government acquisition or notification.
Negotiates price, payment schedules and the sale, lease or joint development agreement with landowners, families and co-owners.
Liaises with government bodies on conversion, approvals and compensation where land is acquired through a public agency; delays in compensation approval can hold up whole projects.
Builds land cost models and feasibility inputs with finance and planning teams, and presents recommended deals to the investment or land committee.
Manages closing: stamp duty, registration, payments, possession and handover to the project team, and keeps a clean record of each deal.
