Learn why property verification is important before buying land, flat or commercial property in India. Check title, loan, tax, approval and legal risks.
Buying property is not always synonymous with celebration. After the euphoria of buying a flat/apartment/plotted lands subsides down, one must see how Indian courts are choked with disputes regarding property. This not only applies to residential property buyers but also commercial properties as well as lands. There’s a simple yet efficient solution to prevent property disputes called “property verification“.
Here’s why property verification is extremely important before buying any property –
Many-a-times you may find that a buyer purchased property only to learn later that the land he bought was already mortgaged to some bank or there is some discrepancy in the title deed. Imagine investing money into your dream property only to spend sleepless nights thinking if you will ever get your money back. Property verification helps you avoid all such problems.
? Title deed verification – Verifying whether the seller is the rightful owner of the property.
? Encumbrance certificate check – To verify that there are no loans taken on the property and there are no legal cases against the property.
? Checking approvals from regulators like BMC/Brihanmumbai/GDA/MCD corporation/municipal corporation etc. – Building should have the necessary approval from respective authorities.
? Tax receipt check – Checking if there are any pending taxes dues on the property.
? Checking the physical property – Checking if the property is as described on paper.
Property is an asset that shelters you and your loved ones. It is important because people live in it and conduct their businesses from there. Property verification ensures that the property you buy is free from legal disputes/title issues in future so that you don’t have to face any legal battles.

The buyer enjoyed his hard earned money and was about to celebrate Holi with his family when he received a legal notice from bank stating that the plot of land was under mortgage from builder to the bank.
