Before you commit, understand what you’re buying.

At a minimum: the parent documents and current sale deed, Patta and Chitta, an encumbrance certificate for at least the last 13 to 30 years, the approved layout and building plan, and property tax and EB receipts. For a flat, also check the mother deed and the undivided share of land. We verify each of these against the revenue records before you commit.

We recommend at least a preliminary document check before any advance changes hands. An advance paid before verification limits your options if a problem turns up afterward, so where possible have the records reviewed first, or make the advance conditional on verification.

A mismatch, such as the seller's name, survey number or extent not lining up with the Patta, needs to be understood before you proceed. Depending on the cause, it may need correction with the Revenue Department or clarification from the seller. We review the ownership trail and identify the correction path.

Often, yes. It usually means coordinating loan closure and the release documentation with the seller's bank, either before registration or as part of the same transaction, so the property is transferred free of that charge.

The sanctioned building plan and undivided share of land, the mother deed and the chain of previous sale deeds, occupancy or completion status where applicable, encumbrance history, and any pending society or maintenance dues, in addition to the usual title and Patta checks.

The survey number, FMB extent and subdivision, whether the layout is approved, the Patta and Chitta classification, and boundary and access details, since these are the areas most likely to throw up a mismatch on a plot.

We identify which approval applies to the property, such as a layout approval, building plan or CMDA / DTCP sanction, and check the documents presented against it. Where a formal legal opinion is needed, our panel advocates provide it.

There is no single fixed timeline; it depends on the transaction and on the workload at the local Taluk or SRO. As a practical rule, it is best coordinated soon after registration rather than left indefinitely, since records still in the previous owner's name can complicate a future sale or loan.

Yes. We work alongside your own advocate and bank, or our panel advocates and chartered accountants if you need one, and coordinate the paperwork between them so you deal with a single point of contact.

We help you understand what was found and how significant it is, and identify who needs to act on it, whether that is the seller, an authority, the bank or a survey professional, so you can decide whether to seek correction, clarification, renegotiation, or not to proceed.

For a purchase from a resident seller of ₹50 lakh or more, the buyer deducts 1% TDS, currently under Section 393(1) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (the erstwhile Section 194-IA), and files Form 141 (the erstwhile Form 26QB). If the seller is an NRI, TDS is deducted under Section 393(2) at a different rate. We calculate and coordinate this, but confirm your specific position with a chartered accountant.

The registration appointment itself is usually completed in a day once documents, stamp duty and registration fees are ready. Getting to that point, due diligence, drafting and booking a slot, typically takes one to three weeks depending on how quickly records and approvals are available.
