What is Title Search?
Planning to buy a property? Or Already paid the advance for it. Congratulations and all the best for your asset buying decision. Now get ready for a lot of paperwork because the property buying process requires you to collect and provide a lot of past and present paperwork which may be required by the Authorities and the Bank (in case you are taking any loan).
Title Search is the first and the most important step before you buy a property. Title search involves examination of the Government records, available property paper to determine and confirm a property's legal ownership, and to find out whether there are any claims on the property. It reveals any mortgages, liens, judgments, or unpaid taxes that will have to be cleared before the property can be sold; and details of any existing easements, restrictions, or leases affecting the property.

Q. Can you let me know which are the key documents I should need for my property?
For every property there are so many documents that the list always remain tentative because it depends on the State, type of property, nature of property etc.but we can still have some key documents for our reference:
- Khata certificate – This document is known by different names in different states and it provides proof that the property has an entry in the local municipal records.
- Receipt of property tax – The receipts of property tax hold that the previous owner or occupier had paid all the taxes and none have been left as due. They also establish the legal status of the property and therefore serve as an important document of evidence.
- Encumbrance certificate – An encumbrance certificate states that the property is free from all encumbrances or loans. It is a key document for procuring a loan against property from banks. It has all the details about transactions relating to the property.
- Occupancy certificate– Occupancy certificate or completion certificate is given by the municipal corporation after the construction of a building to establish that it was constructed according to a sanctioned plan and that it is ready to be occupied.
- Statement from bank if loan outstanding – If any loan is outstanding on the property that is being purchased, it is safe to procure the statements relating to the loan so that there is full disclosure in that regard.
- Non-objection certificates – It is important to ask the developer to produce copies of various NOCs that must be procured from various departments such as the Sewage Board, Pollution Board, Environment Department, Traffic and Coordination Department, etc. This forms the ‘intimation of disapproval’ for the construction of the building
- Sanctioned building plan by statutory authority – This is to ensure that the buyers are cautious about any deviations from the sanctioned plan made by the developer.
- Power of Attorney/s, if any – A Power of Attorney is required in original if any person is acting on the authorization of the owner of the property. It could be general or specific.
