The basics

What is property due diligence?

In Bengaluru, property due diligence is a pre-purchase investigation that checks for arrears and encumbrances across multiple authorities — GBA (formerly BBMP) for property tax, the Sub-Registrar's encumbrance certificate for loans and charges, utility providers for water and electricity dues, housing societies for maintenance arrears, and the CERSAI register for recorded security interests — and reports the total it finds before you sign.

What a property can owe

Property arrears aren't just unpaid taxes — they can include utility, society and development dues, recorded loans and attachments. Understanding what a property owes is the first step in any serious due diligence for a property purchase. Some properties carry nothing; others carry lakhs in back-taxes, society dues, or an undisclosed loan — which is exactly why you check before you pay.

Due diligence vs. title verification

Due diligence checks the money owed; title verification checks the ownership. Most buyers need both.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is property due diligence in simple words?
Property due diligence is a pre-purchase check of a property's records to uncover hidden debts and legal risks — unpaid taxes, utility and society dues, loans, and court attachments — before you commit your money.
What is the difference between due diligence and title verification?
Due diligence checks the property's financial liabilities — arrears, dues, loans, and attachments — while title verification confirms legal ownership and a clear, marketable title. They answer different questions, and most buyers need both.
What does an arrears due diligence report include?
It includes a property tax arrears statement with penalties, a utility outstanding summary, an encumbrance check with any court attachments found, society dues confirmed with the association, a check for recorded mortgages on the EC and the CERSAI register, a total-liability assessment, and a risk rating with recommendations.
How long does property due diligence take in Bangalore?
A full due diligence report is generally ready within 7 to 10 working days, depending on document retrieval from the concerned government offices and authorities.
How much does property due diligence cost?
Our service fee is ₹13,999 for a comprehensive investigation. Document-retrieval charges from government offices (around ₹500–2,000) are separate and paid at actuals.
What happens if the property has arrears?
You see what the records show before you sign — the total amount found and a risk rating — so you can renegotiate the price, ask the seller to clear the dues, or walk away.
Do I need due diligence if I already have an encumbrance certificate?
An encumbrance certificate mainly shows registered loans and transactions. Due diligence goes wider — property tax and utility arrears, society dues, the CERSAI register, and court attachments that an EC alone does not show.
