Check the property before committing your money
Property documents can appear complete while still containing gaps in ownership history, survey particulars, approvals or statutory records. SNV Consultancy Services conducts structured document verification and coordinates relevant checks so buyers, investors, NRIs and businesses can proceed with greater clarity.
Important records examined during property verification
The exact scope depends on whether the property is land, a plot, an apartment, an independent house, a commercial asset or an industrial property. Based on the documents available, our review may include:
Ownership and Title Chain
Review of the current sale deed, parent deeds, settlement or partition documents and continuity of ownership.
Encumbrance Records
Review of available encumbrance information and registered transactions affecting the property during the relevant period.
Revenue and Survey Details
Comparison of patta, chitta, adangal, survey number, subdivision, extent and boundary particulars where applicable.
Planning and Building Approvals
Review of available layout approval, planning permission, sanctioned plan and completion-related records.
Taxes and Statutory Dues
Property-tax receipts and other available records are checked for consistency and disclosed arrears.
Seller Authority
Verification of seller identity and authority, including company, partnership, legal-heir or power-of-attorney documentation.
Warning signs we help identify
- Breaks or unexplained gaps in the ownership chain
- Mismatch in owner name, extent, boundary or survey details
- Missing approval or unclear land-use information
- Unreleased mortgage, charge or adverse registered entry
- Power-of-attorney or legal-heir documentation requiring clarification
- Tax, access, possession or document inconsistencies
- Information requiring review by a property advocate or surveyor
A transparent three-stage process
1. Initial Assessment
Share the property location, proposed transaction and available documents. We define the appropriate scope and checklist.
2. Document Review
Material particulars are compared across title, revenue, approval, tax and transaction records.
3. Findings Report
You receive clear observations, missing items, risk flags and recommended enquiries before proceeding.
Verification suited to different transactions
- First-time home and plot buyers
- NRIs purchasing or managing property in Tamil Nadu
- Investors acquiring land or income-generating assets
- Companies purchasing commercial or industrial property
- Promoters and lenders requiring preliminary due diligence
- Families reviewing inherited or jointly owned property
Documents to share initially
Start with the latest title deed, available parent documents, encumbrance certificate, patta or revenue record, approval copies, tax receipt and seller identification. If a document is unavailable, we will record the gap and advise the next enquiry.
Early verification—before paying a large advance or signing an irreversible commitment—provides the best opportunity to resolve issues.
