Why Title Search Is Non-Negotiable Before Any Property Purchase

A clear title is the foundation of every safe property transaction. Here is what a proper title search covers and why skipping it costs buyers dearly.

Before purchasing any immovable property in Maharashtra, a thorough title search of at least 30 years is strongly advised. It verifies the chain of ownership, reveals encumbrances such as mortgages or litigation, and confirms that the seller has a clear, marketable title.

A proper search covers Index II extracts, 7/12 extracts or property cards, mutation entries, encumbrance certificates and pending litigation checks. Our firm conducts searches at the Sub-Registrar offices and revenue records and issues a detailed Title Report with actionable recommendations.
