As property transactions continue to rise across Tamil Nadu, Chennai-based proptech platform LandLens has positioned itself as a due diligence tool aimed at identifying land and property risks before purchase decisions are finalised. Developed by Verified.RealEstate, the platform integrates land records, zoning regulations, environmental indicators and infrastructure constraints into a single digital interface. Industry experts note that many real estate disputes arise not from lack of data but from fragmented information spread across departments, making holistic assessment difficult for buyers. Recent cases involving temple land claims, coastal regulation restrictions and environmental compliance issues have reinforced the need for early verification. LandLens seeks to address this gap by structuring public data into actionable insights, supporting buyers, investors and developers in making informed property decisions before financial commitments are made.Read more
