Property Title Check / Verification — Why it's your first must-do before buying property
Buying property is exciting — but one small paperwork miss can turn it into a long, expensive headache. A property title check examines the chain of ownership and public records to confirm the seller actually has the right to sell and that the property is free of hidden claims like mortgages, liens, or pending mutations.
Why Professional Verification Matters
Professional verification saves you from fraud, delayed registration, and unexpected liabilities. It's your first line of defense against property-related legal complications.
What We Check, Simply:
- Title deeds and chain of ownership (sale deeds, earlier transfers)
- Encumbrance Certificate (records of registered transactions, mortgages)
- Mutation and land-revenue/khata records (who's recorded as owner in municipal/revenue books)
- Physical verification and survey to match documents with reality
Quick Local Tools You Should Use:
- Delhi e-Search / registration portal for deed lookups and e-mutation reports
- Municipal / revenue land record portals and the sub-registrar for official ECs and archival checks
Case Study: The Cost of Skipping Title Check
A young buyer in Delhi signed a token agreement and paid part of the price without a full title check. Months later she discovered a prior unregistered sale and a forged document. Reversing the transaction cost her time, legal fees, and significant stress — a pattern seen repeatedly in local reports of title fraud.
