Property verification in Bangalore
The seller has shared the papers. The next task is to understand how they fit together: the ownership history, the property being sold and any records still missing.
ABOUT THIS TOPIC
What needs checking before you buy?
For a flat, the review needs to consider the apartment as well as the land and the share described in the deed. A plot can raise different questions about survey references, layout records and access. The document list should follow the property, rather than a checklist used without context.
Keep your proposed payment date with the file. If a record is missing, ask which conclusion depends on it and whether it affects the decision in front of you. The guides below explain these questions in more detail.
