Title search and due diligence
A lawyer traces the ownership chain, looks for gaps, reviews registered charges and considers the seller’s authority to transfer. The scope and search period depend on the property and its history.
Find property legal advisers in Indian cities. Learn about title checks, sale deeds, registration, mutation, RERA matters and property documents.
Property deals involve ownership, approvals, family rights, lender interests and local records. Tell an adviser what you are trying to do, not just which document you need.

Have the property description, payment terms, possession arrangements, warranties and remedies reviewed before you sign. A standard template may miss risks specific to your deal.
An adviser can help with the deed, execution requirements and papers for the relevant sub-registrar. Confirm what the engagement includes; government charges and legal fees are separate.
Update the appropriate municipal or revenue records after a transfer or inheritance. Mutation and tax entries are not proof of ownership and do not replace a sound title chain.
Discuss project disclosures, delayed possession, agreement terms or other promoter issues. An adviser can assess the relevant forum, evidence, remedies and maintainability.
Plan how an overseas owner can authorise someone in India, execute documents and manage a property matter. Attestation, stamping, registration and tax questions need case-specific advice.
Understand co-owner rights, inherited property, releases and division arrangements. Ask which family, court and registered records are needed before anyone promises a sale.
Get help reconciling lender requests with title and approval papers. A lender’s legal review supports its lending decision; it need not cover every interest you have as a buyer.
You don’t have to work out the next step alone.
Discuss the scope and applicable fees before you engage an adviser. You decide whom to appoint.
Explain the property type, locality, people involved and stage of your transaction. Ask whether the adviser handles that kind of work, who will review your file, what a written engagement includes and how fees and expenses are agreed.
Use these free tools to organise what you know and identify what still needs a lawyer’s attention. A checklist is not legal clearance.
Yes. Searching and contacting advisers through PropyMart is free. The adviser’s professional work is separately chargeable. Confirm the scope, fees, taxes and expenses before engaging them.
You decide whom to appoint. If you enquire through PropyMart, our team calls you back and helps suggest the right adviser for your matter. Discuss suitability directly with the adviser.
Ideally before signing or making a significant commitment. You can also seek advice about an existing dispute, inheritance, mutation or an overseas-owned property. Explain any approaching date immediately.
Ask whether they can handle the relevant local records, authorities and any required appearances. The property’s location and the nature of the work may matter more than where you currently live.
Registration alone does not resolve every issue with ownership, authority, approvals or competing claims. Have your adviser review the chain of documents and the circumstances of the transaction.
Yes. Explain where you are based, where the property is and whether someone in India is authorised to act. Ask about remote consultations and power-of-attorney requirements.
