Chain of title
Ownership traced through every transfer, with sale deeds and parent documents reviewed.

Registry searches documented in a report you can rely on.
Encumbrance verification
Mortgages, liens and charges checked through the EC.
Revenue records
ROR-1B, Pahani and land records matched against the deeds.
