Investigate commercial property risks before you buy or lease
SNV Consultancy Services assists businesses, investors, lenders and NRIs with structured investigation of offices, shops, warehouses, factories, industrial land and income-generating property across Chennai and Tamil Nadu.
We coordinate document, approval, occupancy and transaction checks to identify material gaps before you commit capital, enter a long lease or offer property as security.
Commercial checks aligned with the proposed transaction
A commercial asset must support the buyer’s or tenant’s intended activity—not merely possess a title document. The investigation scope is therefore adapted to the property type, business use and transaction structure.
Ownership and Authority
Review of title continuity and the seller’s or lessor’s authority, including company, partnership, trust or power-of-attorney documents.
Land Use and Approvals
Review of available planning permission, sanctioned plans, classification, layout approval and permitted commercial or industrial use.
Encumbrances and Litigation Signals
Review of available registered transaction history, mortgages, charges and disclosed disputes requiring further legal enquiry.
Occupancy and Tenancy
Review of disclosed leases, occupants, rental arrangements, deposits and possession-related information relevant to the deal.
Taxes and Statutory Records
Review of available property-tax records and material statutory documents applicable to the premises and its usage.
Access and Physical Observations
Basic review of access, boundary information, occupation and visible issues, subject to surveyor and technical verification.

Questions the investigation helps you address
Can the premises support the intended use?
Available approvals, classification and use-related records are reviewed to identify matters requiring authority confirmation.
Does the contracting party have authority?
Ownership and representative documents are compared with the proposed sale or lease arrangement.
Are there occupancy or financial obligations?
Disclosed tenancy, deposits, taxes, charges and other property-linked obligations are documented for further review.
What needs clarification before commitment?
The findings identify missing records, inconsistencies and specialist opinions required before completion.
