A title search is a search that answers the question of whether the owner is really the legal owner of the property and if there are any outstanding claims on the property. This can be done by going through records of the property at the sub-registrar’s office.

If a property has an encumbrance on it, like a mortgage deed or other claim on the property, then it is known as a title defect.

When a property is sold and ownership passes from one owner to another on more than one occasion, the title of the property creates a chain of ownership, which is called a chain of title.

An encumbrance is something that creates difficulty in the transfer of property from one owner to another, for example, outstanding mortgages, liens on real estate, unpaid property taxes, etc.

Sub-registrar’s offices are divided according to regions, and specific jurisdiction is allotted to specific offices to handle property registrations in that area.

Encumbrances:
An encumbrance is something that creates difficulty in the transfer of property registration details from one owner to another, for example, outstanding mortgages, liens on real estate, unpaid property taxes, etc. A buyer must check for any encumbrances on the property before buying and should get the property cleared from any encumbrances. This can be checked at the sub-registrar’s office within whose jurisdiction the property comes.
Chain of Documents:

Any buyer should check for all the chain of documents before buying a property. Chain of documents are the documents that specify when and how the property has been transferred from one owner to another.
Payment of Dues:

Any property should be free from any dues like property taxes, electricity bills, water bills, etc. It is the responsibility of the buyer to check this before registering the property.

Preparation of Deed:
A draft of the deed (Sale Deed, Lease Deed, Correction Deed, etc.) that needs to be executed must be prepared, on which the details of all the parties involved and the property involved, along with terms and conditions, must be mentioned clearly before registering the deed.

Stamp duty calculation:
Stamp duty is the fee charged by the government, and it varies from state to state. Stamp duty is calculated based on the market value of the property involved.

Govt. Payment:
The registration fee and stamp duty, DHC charges must be paid before the time of registration.

Signing of Correction Deed:
Both parties and the recipient must sign the correction deed in the presence of two witnesses.
