I've inherited a property. Let me find out exactly what I've got.

Before you transfer, sell or manage it, you need to know what the records say. We search, verify and report, so you can act with confidence.

What we look for, and how we find it

NRIs often inherit property without knowing its full legal history. Most records are kept in manual government systems with no convenient online access, and many are in vernacular languages.

We search, retrieve and analyse every relevant public record, then deliver a clear report so you can make decisions from certainty rather than guesswork.

  1. 1

    We retrieve the records

    We obtain certified copies of the latest title documents from the relevant authorities to confirm the current legal ownership status.

  2. 2

    We visit the property

    Our local team physically inspects the property to establish who is in possession and in what capacity.

  3. 3

    We photograph the site

    Photographs are included in your report so you have an accurate picture of its current on-ground condition.

  4. 4

    We check for disputes and liabilities

    We identify any mortgage, pending litigation or encumbrance that might affect the property's value or your ability to act on it.

  5. 5

    We translate the documents

    Most records are in vernacular languages. We translate everything so the full report is clear and usable wherever you are.

  6. 6

    We flag any problems

    If any illegal transfer or suspicious transaction is identified, we advise you on what steps to take and how quickly.

What your report will contain

  • Current owner on official government record

  • History of all previous owners

  • Physical size and full description of the property

  • Current occupant and the capacity in which they hold the property

  • Photographs taken during our site visit

  • Any outstanding mortgage, loan or pending court case

  • Commercial market value assessed by a certified evaluator

  • Any illegal or suspicious transactions, flagged with recommended action

The report is delivered to you wherever you are. No travel is required to commission or receive it.

When a title search is the right first step

  • You have inherited property from a parent or relative and have never seen the official title records.

  • You want to sell or transfer the property but are not certain what name it is currently recorded in.

  • You have heard from family that something may have happened to the property but do not have the paperwork to confirm it.

  • You are about to appoint someone under a Power of Attorney and want to know the full picture first.

A title search is also the most important check before any property transfer, sale or partition. What you find determines what you do next.

Your title search questions, answered

Do I need to travel to India for a title search?
No. There is no requirement for you to be present. We conduct the full search and physical inspection on your behalf, and deliver the complete report to you at home.
Can a title search be done on ancestral property?
Yes. We conduct title searches for all types of property, including ancestral, agricultural, residential and commercial.
What if the records are in a language I do not understand?
We translate all documents from their original vernacular language into English as part of the report.
What if the report reveals an illegal transfer or disputed ownership?
We flag it clearly and give you specific legal advice on what action to take. In those cases, the title search becomes the starting point for a legal remedy.
Does the report include the commercial value of the property?
Yes. We include a valuation by a certified evaluator as part of the standard report.
