Bengaluru Property Due Diligence

Before you commit,
know what needs checking.

An old mortgage. A missing deed. An approval the seller cannot produce. Understand the risks in your property documents—and what to ask for next. Technology connects the records. A property lawyer reviews the findings.

Why this matters

What could become your problem after you buy?

Start with the documents you have. Understand the issues and gaps before your next commitment.

Title risk
"Is this seller actually the legal owner?"
Trace transfers through available deeds and records. Identify gaps, conflicting details and documents needed to complete the picture.
Encumbrances
"What if there's an old loan I don't know about?"
Review mortgage and encumbrance entries, discharge records and references to disputes in the available documents.
Approvals
"Is the building even legal?"
Review applicable khata, layout, building and RERA records. Distinguish documents received from checks still outstanding.

A risk check now. A signed opinion when you need one.

Both options include lawyer review. Choose based on your buying stage and the output you need.

The seller's copy is one source.
The portal copy is another.

For supported records, we retrieve the copy available on the government portal and compare it with the document you provided.

You see the details checked, differences found and checks that could not be completed—so you know what needs clarification.
