Why "Plinth"
A plinth is the stone base a column stands on. A clean title is the base a property stands on.
Most disputes trace back to something skipped at the start — an unpaid loan, a break in the chain of title, a missing approval. We do that groundwork first, in writing, so the deal above it holds.
What we handle
Buying, selling, leasing — from first draft to registration
One practice for the whole transaction. No handoffs to a broker for the "paperwork", no surprises at the sub-registrar's office.

Title due-diligence
The search we run before you sign
A property can look perfect and still carry a hidden loan, a broken chain of ownership, or a layout that was never approved. This is where we spend our time.
- Encumbrance Certificate & loan checkEC pulled from the sub-registrar to confirm no unpaid mortgage or lien sits on the property.
- Chain of title & mother deedOwnership traced back through prior deeds so there is no missing link in how it reached the seller.
- Mutation & municipal recordsGHMC property tax, mutation and khata cross-checked against the deed and the seller's identity.
- RERA, HMDA & DTCP approvalsLayout, building permission and RERA registration confirmed for plots and under-construction units.
- Litigation, lien & GPA scrutinyPending suits, family claims and General Power of Attorney sales examined before we clear the file.
The process
Five steps, built like a wall — each one on the last
You always know which course we are laying and what comes next. Nothing is registered until the ground under it is clear.
-
Instruction & scope
We map the property, the parties and the timeline, tell you plainly what the matter needs, and agree the scope up front.
-
Title due-diligence
Encumbrance search, chain of title, approvals and record checks — delivered as a written title report you can act on.
-
Drafting & negotiation
Agreement to sell, sale deed or lease drafted in language you can read, then negotiated with the other side's counsel.
-
Stamp duty & registration
Stamp duty computed, franking arranged and your appointment at the sub-registrar's office handled from start to finish.
-
Handover & records
Possession, mutation and a complete closing file — every document, indexed and yours to keep for the day you sell.

Good questions
Property answers, in plain language
The questions buyers and sellers in Hyderabad ask us most. Have one that isn't here? Send it over.
What is an Encumbrance Certificate and why does it matter?
An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) is the sub-registrar's record of every registered transaction on a property — sales, mortgages and liens. We pull it to confirm the property is free of unpaid loans or charges before you commit. A clean EC is the single most important document in a Hyderabad conveyance.
Do you handle the registration at the sub-registrar's office?
Yes. We compute stamp duty, arrange franking, book the appointment and accompany you through registration at the relevant sub-registrar's office, then follow up on mutation so the municipal records reflect your ownership.
Can you review a property being sold on a General Power of Attorney?
We can, and we look at GPA sales especially closely. We verify that the power of attorney is valid, registered where required, still in force, and actually authorises the sale. Many title problems in Hyderabad start with a GPA that was never properly executed.
How long does a conveyance usually take?
A straightforward resale with clean documents typically moves from title report to registration in a few weeks; the title read itself begins within about 48 hours of receiving papers. Under-construction purchases and files needing regularisation take longer. We give you a realistic timeline after the initial review, not an optimistic one.
Do you work with NRIs buying or selling remotely?
Regularly. We handle due-diligence, drafting, TDS and registration coordination for clients abroad, working through a registered power of attorney where needed and keeping everything documented so you are never guessing about what has happened.
What does an initial consultation cost?
The first consultation is free. We will look at your situation, tell you whether you even need us, and give you a clear, scope-based estimate before any work begins — never an open meter.
