What this covers
Chain of title review, encumbrance certificate and revenue record searches, litigation and land acquisition checks, verification of the seller's authority and capacity, and a written title report identifying defects together with what can and cannot be cured before completion.
How the Work Is Sequenced
The stages Real Estate cases move through. Timelines depend on the case.
Preliminary title check
A short-form review of the core documents and encumbrance position before you commit to diligence costs or pay an advance. Often the point at which a parcel is ruled out.
Full title investigation
Chain of title over the statutory period, revenue and litigation searches, physical and record verification, and a title report with defects classified as curable or not.
Structuring and documentation
Acquisition or development structure chosen with stamp duty, registration and tax consequences priced in, followed by the transaction documents and the payment and possession milestones.
Approvals and registration
Layout and plan approvals, conversion and NOCs, RERA registration where applicable, stamp duty payment and registration before the Sub-Registrar, and mutation of records.
Project phase and handover
Construction contracts, ongoing RERA disclosures, occupancy and completion certificates, allottee conveyances, and formation and handover to the owners' association.
