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.

Common questions

Things buyers usually ask

Most reports are delivered within 24–48 hours. Large or complex document sets may take up to 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.
Credits are a single wallet usable across both Scrutin 360 and DocGet. 1 credit = 1 page of Scrutin analysis. DocGet applications are charged per retrieval. Credits never expire.
Credits do not expire and can be used anytime.
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.
