About Property & Real Estate Law
Navigating Bengaluru's Property Law
Buying or selling property in Bengaluru is tricky. Local rules change fast and one small mistake can mean big trouble down the line. I’m here to break down the complicated stuff and make sure you’re protected, especially with all the Karnataka-specific paperwork.
What I Actually Do
- Deep-dive property title verification (not just the basic bank check)
- Document review: Mother Deed, Sale Deed, DC Conversion, Khata, RTC, Tippani, EC - I’ll explain what each means for your deal
- Draft and register Sale Agreements, Sale Deeds, and Power of Attorney docs (especially for NRI clients)
- Help with BBMP Khata transfer and switching from B-Khata to A-Khata. E-Khata? I know the digital system too.
- Get you Occupancy Certificate (OC) - no OC, no power or water, simple as that
- Keep you updated on new property tax rules and illegal construction crackdowns
When Stuff Gets Messy
Property disputes happen. I handle title and ownership fights, inheritance messes, landlord-tenant problems. I’ll try negotiation first, but if we need to go to court, I’ve got you.
Why I Do This
My work’s guided by a simple principle: fairness wins. I want you to have clarity and peace of mind, not just paperwork. If you want someone who’ll actually look out for you, that’s me.
