Property Law and Registration
About this area of practice
Property work divides into three stages, and problems usually arise because one of them was skipped. Before the transaction there is verification: whose property it is, how they came to own it, and whether anything encumbers it. At the transaction there is documentation and registration. After it there is mutation and the correction of revenue and municipal records so that the change of ownership is reflected where it matters.
Two points are worth stating plainly at the outset, because they are the source of a great deal of avoidable litigation. An agreement to sell does not by itself transfer ownership. And mutation of a revenue record does not confer title — it records a change for fiscal purposes. Both are important steps, but neither does the job people frequently assume they do.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Verifying title before any substantial payment is made. Once money has moved, the negotiating position changes completely, and defects that could have been priced or cured become disputes instead. Verification is examined on the documents and the public records, not on assurances.
Stamp duty and registration fees are fixed by the State and are revised from time to time, and the amount payable also depends on the nature of the document, the valuation of the property and the circle rate applicable to its location. No figure is stated on this website because it would not be reliable. The current position is confirmed for the specific document before execution.
No. Mutation updates the revenue or municipal record for purposes such as tax, and it is important, but it does not by itself establish ownership. Title comes from the instrument of transfer and the chain behind it.
Powers of attorney have legitimate uses, but a transaction structured to substitute for a registered conveyance is a different matter and carries real risk for a buyer. Any such structure should be examined closely before it is relied on.
