The authority's list names this society as illegal, as of the date read. The list does not say what happens to plots already sold, and neither do we. Before you pay or sign anything for a plot here, have a lawyer see the papers.
This is about the society, not your plot. A plot needs its own check.
What to do next
Before you buy a plot in Zarghoon Abad
The society’s status says nothing about one plot. Ask for these, from these offices. Tick each as you get it. Ticks stay in this browser only.
This list cannot tell you a plot is clear. No open data supports that. It tells you what to ask for, and where.
