About Property Document Verification & Due Diligence
A bank’s check only protects their loan, not your ownership. When we verify a property, we trace the full 30-year history through the 'Mother Deed' and all link documents. This 30-year deep dive is how we catch missing links in the family tree or undisclosed encumbrances that a standard bank review often overlooks.
Buying real estate in Bengaluru is a major commitment. With new government surveys revealing millions of properties with conflicting ownership claims, thorough due diligence is your primary defense against future litigation. We focus on uncovering the risks that do not appear on the surface.
Our property audit process covers:
- Title Chain: We meticulously audit the Mother Deed and all link documents to establish an unbroken ownership chain, ensuring the seller has the legal right to sell.
- Land Status: We confirm if agricultural land has been legally converted (DC Conversion) and verify the current land usage status via the RTC (Pahani).
- Encumbrance Check: We scrutinize Encumbrance Certificates (Form 15/16) to ensure the property is free of undisclosed mortgages, stay orders, or lis pendens.
- Compliance: We verify essential municipal documents including BBMP approvals, plan sanctions, Commencement Certificates (CC), and Occupancy Certificates (OC).
We frequently assist clients who are caught in the confusion between B-Khata and A-Khata status, or those dealing with inherited ancestral property. Whether you are verifying the validity of a Power of Attorney or untangling disputes under the Hindu Succession Act, we translate complex legal jargon into clear, actionable steps. If we uncover red flags, we help you negotiate a better price or provide the legal grounds to walk away before you lose money. Our goal is not just to clear paperwork, but to secure your peace of mind so you can focus on building your home, not fighting for it.
