Schedule Your ConsultationBased on 19+ years of litigation experience, Advocate Mohammad Hammad identifies these non-negotiable red flags that should halt any property transaction until resolved:
Potential impersonation or fraudulent transfer. Halt transaction. Conduct biometric verification and root title analysis.
Unregistered transfer, inheritance dispute, or adverse possession claim. Trace the missing link through Sub-Registrar records and revenue records.
Property may be subject to injunction, attachment, or execution. Obtain certified copies of pending suits and assess risk.
Unauthorized construction, potential demolition risk, and RERA non-compliance. Verify Bihar RERA registration and municipal approval.
Financial liability may transfer to buyer; property may be acquired by government. Obtain tax clearance certificate and check acquisition lists.
Voidable transaction; risk of principal's revocation or death. Verify POA registration, scope, and principal's survival.
Violation of Bihar Land Reforms Act; transaction may be void. Obtain conversion order from Collector/DM office before purchase.
Our property verification lawyer Patna team will review your documents and identify potential issues before they become fatal to your transaction.
Get Your Documents ReviewedHere are anonymized examples of real property verification and due diligence cases handled by Advocate Mohammad Hammad:
Issue: A client was purchasing a residential plot in Patna City for ₹50 lakhs. The seller provided a sale deed and Jamabandi entry. Initial verification appeared clean.
Our Approach: We conducted a 30-year Title Search Report. We discovered a missing link in the chain — a gift deed from 15 years ago that was never registered. The seller's title was defective.
Outcome: The client halted the transaction and saved ₹50 lakhs. The seller later admitted to the defect. We helped the client find an alternative property with clear title.
Issue: A client had booked a flat in a RERA-registered project in Patna. The builder had delayed possession by 3 years. The client wanted to know if the builder had complied with RERA norms.
Our Approach: We conducted builder due diligence — verified RERA registration, reviewed quarterly progress reports, checked for pending RERA complaints, and assessed financial health.
Outcome: We found that the builder had multiple pending RERA complaints and had not filed quarterly progress reports for 2 years. We filed a RERA complaint for refund with interest. The client received ₹65 lakhs (principal + interest).
Issue: An NRI client based in the UK wanted to verify a property in Patna before purchasing it. The client could not travel to India.
Our Approach: We conducted remote due diligence — reviewed documents electronically, conducted physical site inspection with video documentation, verified revenue records, and obtained Encumbrance Certificate.
Outcome: We identified an encroachment on the property boundary. The seller removed the encroachment before registration. The client purchased the property with clear title. We continue to manage the property on their behalf.
Issue: A client inherited property from their father. The mutation was in the father's name, but the client wanted to verify if any other legal heirs had claims.
Our Approach: We conducted mutation verification at the Circle Office, checked Form XIII enquiry reports, and verified Khata Pustika entries. We also searched for pending litigation in the family.
Outcome: We discovered that the client's sibling had filed a title suit that was not disclosed. We advised the client to settle the dispute amicably. A settlement was reached, and the property was partitioned.
Every property is unique. We will apply the same dedication and expertise to your property verification.

Property verification is the legal due diligence process of examining all documents, revenue records, and court records related to a property to confirm that the seller has clear, marketable title. In Bihar, where 80% of Jamabandi records are outdated, verification by a qualified property verification lawyer is not optional—it is essential.
A standard Title Search Report covering 13 years takes 7-10 working days. A comprehensive 30-year report takes 15-20 working days. Advocate Mohammad Hammad provides expedited services for urgent transactions.
Yes. Following the Supreme Court's Samiullah v. State of Bihar (2025) judgment, mutation proof is no longer mandatory for registration of sale deeds. However, this makes independent due diligence even more critical.
A Title Search Report is a comprehensive legal opinion examining the entire chain of ownership, revenue records, court records, and physical possession. An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) is a government-issued document listing all registered transactions on the property for a specified period.
Under Section 18 of the RERA Act, if a builder fails to deliver possession by the agreed date, the homebuyer has an absolute right to withdraw with full refund plus interest at MCLR + 1%, or continue and claim compensation for delay. Advocate Mohammad Hammad files and prosecutes RERA complaints before Bihar RERA.
Immediately halt the transaction. Forgery of property documents is a cognizable and non-bailable offence. The civil remedy is primary: file a declaration suit under Section 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, along with an injunction. A property verification lawyer will guide you through both criminal and civil remedies.
Absolutely. All nationalized banks and private banks require a legally binding Title Search Report and Non-Encumbrance Certificate before sanctioning home loans. Advocate Mohammad Hammad's Title Search Reports are accepted by all major banks for home loan processing in Bihar.
Yes. Advocate Mohammad Hammad provides specialized NRI property management services including remote document review, Power of Attorney drafting and execution, physical property verification with video documentation, tenant eviction, encroachment removal, and sale oversight.
In Samiullah v. State of Bihar (2025), the Supreme Court urged the Law Commission to examine blockchain technology for land registration, noting that blockchain offers immutability, transparency, and traceability. Advocate Mohammad Hammad stays ahead of these reforms to protect client interests.
Costs vary based on property value, complexity, and required depth of investigation. A basic Title Search Report starts from ₹5,000. Comprehensive due diligence for high-value properties is quoted separately. Contact for a personalized quote.
Essential documents include: Sale deeds, Mutation orders (Dakhil-Kharij), Property tax receipts, Khata Pustika, Khesra Register extracts, Encumbrance Certificate, approved building plan, Occupancy Certificate, and any prior legal notices.
A sale deed transfers property for consideration (money). A gift deed transfers property without consideration, out of love and affection. Both must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908. Gift deeds are subject to stamp duty (which is lower than sale deeds in some cases).
Partial verification can be done online through the Bihar Land Records portal. However, physical verification at the Sub-Registrar's office, Circle Office, and site inspection is essential. Advocate Mohammad Hammad provides both online and physical verification services.
The process includes: (1) Filing application before the Circle Officer, (2) Publication of notice, (3) Objections from other parties, (4) Inquiry and hearing, (5) Mutation order by the Circle Officer. Advocate Mohammad Hammad handles end-to-end mutation proceedings.

Our property verification lawyer Patna team offers free initial consultations to discuss your property and guide you on the best course of action.
Ask Your Question NowProperty verification in Bihar is not a formality — it is a legal necessity. With the Supreme Court's Samiullah judgment removing mutation as a registration barrier, the responsibility for due diligence has shifted entirely to the buyer. Advocate Mohammad Hammad combines 19+ years of Patna High Court litigation expertise with institutional knowledge of Bihar's revenue system, RERA framework, and criminal property fraud jurisprudence.
Do not let a property problem fester. Early verification saves years of litigation and crores of rupees.
