Why this matters
Buying property in Bengaluru is complicated.
Most buyers don't know what to look for.
Title risk
"Is this seller actually the legal owner?"
Disputed ownership, benami transfers, and forged documents are common in Karnataka land records. A 30-year title trace catches what a quick check misses.
Encumbrances
"What if there's an old loan I don't know about?"
Undisclosed mortgages and pending litigation can transfer to the buyer. We cross-check encumbrance history and court records before you sign.
Approvals
"Is the building even legal?"
Many properties in Bengaluru lack proper BBMP or RERA approvals. We verify layout sanctions, building plans, and occupancy certificates as part of every analysis.

About us →Common questions
Things buyers usually ask
Both involve the same expert analysis of your documents. Findings gives you a structured summary — risks identified, documents missing, and what to do next — without a formal legal report. It is the right starting point if you have not yet committed to the property and want to know the risks before negotiating. The Full Report is a complete legal due diligence document, formally signed by a senior advocate, that you can rely on to make your final purchase decision.
Plot and Findings analyses are delivered within 48 hours. The Full Report for layouts and apartments is delivered within 72 hours. You will receive an email update.
At minimum: the sale deed, encumbrance certificate, and khata. The more you provide — mother deed, previous sale deeds, tax receipts — the more thorough the analysis.
Scrutin 360 analyses documents you already have. DocGet retrieves documents you are missing — from Karnataka government records — and verifies they are authentic.
No — and we are transparent about this. LegalByte surfaces risks and validates findings, but does not replace personalised legal advice. For registration, disputes, or complex transactions, engage your own advocate.
Yes. Documents are stored on encrypted cloud servers in accordance with India's data protection laws. We do not use your documents to train AI models.
Every Scrutin 360 analysis includes a review by a qualified property lawyer before your report is delivered. This is not an optional add-on — it is part of the service.
Property due diligence
done right, before you commit.
Know what you're buying — title risks, encumbrances, and approval gaps — before you sign anything. Most reports ready within 48–72 hours.
