One of the first questions buyers ask us is: "How much does property verification cost?" It is the right question , but the answer requires context. Here is a transparent breakdown of what property due diligence costs in Bangalore in 2026, and what you actually get for that fee.
What Does "Property Due Diligence" Include?
A thorough property due diligence in Bangalore includes:
- 30-year title search at the Sub-Registrar office
- Encumbrance Certificate analysis (Form 15/16)
- RTC verification (for plots and agricultural land)
- DC Conversion verification (for plots)
- Khata verification (A or B, BBMP or Panchayat)
- RERA status check (for under-construction apartments)
- Litigation search at the relevant civil court
- Building plan and OC/CC verification (for apartments)
- Survey sketch and physical boundary confirmation
- Written legal opinion on the property
Each of these steps requires access to government records, physical visits to offices, and legal analysis by a qualified lawyer. Not all services in the market cover all steps.
Typical Cost Range in Bangalore (2026)
| Service Type | Typical Fee Range |
|---|---|
| Basic document check (surface review) | ₹2,000 – ₹5,000 |
| Standard due diligence (EC, title, Khata, RERA) | ₹8,000 – ₹15,000 |
| Comprehensive due diligence (30-yr title + litigation) | ₹15,000 – ₹25,000 |
| Agricultural/plot land with RTC + ceiling check | ₹20,000 – ₹35,000 |
| NRI property advisory (full coordination) | ₹25,000 – ₹50,000+ |
Why There is Such a Wide Range
The cost depends on:
- Property type: An apartment is simpler to verify than agricultural land with hissas across multiple survey numbers
- Age of the property: Older properties with longer title chains require more research
- Number of government offices to be visited: Some verifications require visits to the Sub-Registrar, Taluk, BBMP, and RERA , all separately
- Litigation search depth: A thorough court search requires more time and access
What You Are NOT Paying For
The due diligence fee does not include stamp duty, registration charges, or any government fees for obtaining official copies of documents. These are paid separately.
