How it works from Qatar
Send the seller's or developer's documents. We collect certified copies and search the Sub-Registrar, revenue, municipal, court and RERA records. For building on family land we confirm that the land is in the right names and classified for construction.
The report gives a clear conclusion and a list of conditions. Where you are buying jointly with a spouse, we also advise on how to hold title and fund the purchase so that later sale and repatriation are simple.
What is different for NRIs in Qatar
- No agricultural land or farmhouses for NRIs.
- Check occupancy certificate for ready flats.
- Pay only through banking channels.
Step by step from Qatar
Free review call
Calls are held in Doha office hours, two and a half hours behind India. We read your papers on a title check first, so the call is about your options and not a repeat of the facts.
Authority from Qatar
Where a representative must act for you in India on a title check, you sign before the consular officer at the Embassy of India in Doha on an appointment. We draft the document and send signing instructions.
Work in India
In India, we inspect the registry and revenue records, read the chain of deeds and check approvals, litigation and dues. Updates for clients in Qatar go by email and WhatsApp with scans of whatever is filed.
Result and handover
At the end you receive a written title report with a plain recommendation: proceed, proceed on conditions, or walk away. Originals are couriered to your address in Qatar if you need them.
