Verifying title documents is an important step before purchasing a property to ensure that the seller has clear ownership and there are no legal disputes or encumbrances on the property. Here are some common steps to verify title documents:

Sale Deed/Conveyance Deed: Obtain a copy of the sale deed or conveyance deed, which is the primary document establishing the ownership of the property. Verify the details such as the names of the parties involved, property description, sale consideration, and signatures. Cross-check the information mentioned in the sale deed with the property's current status and physical boundaries.

Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Request an EC from the Sub-Registrar's Office for the past 15-30 years (varies by state). The EC provides information about any registered transactions, mortgages, or encumbrances on the property during the specified period. Ensure that the EC is up to date and does not show any pending dues or legal claims.

Property Tax Receipts: Review the property tax receipts for the property to verify that the current owner has paid all property taxes. Non-payment of property taxes can lead to legal issues and financial liabilities.

Chain of Documents: Trace the chain of documents from the previous owners to the current owner to establish a clear and unbroken title. Ensure that all the documents, such as sale deeds, gift deeds, partition deeds, etc., are legally valid, properly executed, and registered.

Survey and Land Records: Verify the property's boundaries and dimensions by referring to the survey records and land documents available with the revenue department or land registry office. This will help confirm that the property description matches the actual physical boundaries.

NOC and Approvals: Check if the property has obtained the necessary No Objection Certificates (NOCs) and approvals from relevant authorities, such as the local municipality, development authority, environmental agencies, etc., for construction, land use, and other applicable regulations.

Litigation Search: Conduct a thorough search in the local courts to identify if any litigation or legal disputes are pending concerning the property. This can be done by engaging a lawyer or searching through online court records, if available.
