posted on 5 MayRemote title verification for Bengaluru properties is a huge gamble.
₹1.8 crore for a 3BHK at Prestige City, Whitefield, is a big commitment. Being based in Dubai, physically verifying documents like title deeds for builders like Keya Homes is tough. How do you ensure clear titles and builder legal track records remotely? Is relying on local lawyers enough, or are there specific steps we can't skip?

This '0 projects' thing is really disturbing. So, what's the actual process for someone like the OP in Dubai? Beyond RERA checks, what specific legal steps do you take to verify titles and builder reputation when you can't be there physically? Is appointing a local lawyer with a power of attorney sufficient, or are there specific government portals that can be accessed remotely for title chain verification?
U4, from my experience (I'm an NRI who bought in Akshayanagar), a local lawyer with a good reputation is crucial, but *you* need to instruct them very clearly. Ask for scanned copies of *every single document* – sale deed, parent deeds, encumbrance certificate (EC), khata extract, tax receipts. Don't just rely on their 'everything is fine' report. Also, some
Guys, I need to drop some hard truth here. I did some digging on Keya Homes because a friend was interested. Their RERA profile, from what I could find, shows 'Total Projects: 0'. Zero! How can a builder with zero registered projects be selling a 3BHK for ₹1.8 crore? This is a massive red flag. This isn't just about remote verification; this is about basic due diligence. Please, please be extra careful. This is why local lawyers aren't enough – you need to check official portals yourself or through a trusted contact.
Exactly what I was afraid of. Some of these smaller builders just pop up. How do we even confirm if they're registered with RERA at all if they show 0 projects? Is there a central database for all builders, not just RERA registered ones?
U3, thanks for this info. This changes everything. My agent was pushing a Keya Homes property in Adigara Kallahalli. I'm going to pull back immediately. This is exactly the kind of info we need!
WHAT?! Zero projects? That's insane!
Prestige City toh theek hai, but Keya Homes ka naam sunke thoda darr lag raha hai. My cousin almost invested in one of their projects a few years back, but then backed out last minute. Remote ya local, builder ka track record is paramount. Is there any official way to check their past projects' completion status?
Yaar, this post hit home so hard. I'm also a first-time buyer looking at Bangalore, and the thought of remote verification gives me sleepless nights. ₹1.8 crore is a massive amount, and trusting someone else with title deeds, especially from abroad, feels like a monumental risk. How do you even begin to cross-check everything? I'm currently looking at a property near Aavalahalli, and even for that, I'm already feeling overwhelmed by the paperwork.
Haan bhai, same pinch! It's a huge commitment.
Totally relate! I'm in the US, and my parents are doing the groundwork in Bangalore. Every time they send me a document, I wonder if it's 100% legit. The fear of getting scammed is real. Legal advice from local lawyers sounds good, but what if they miss something or are not thorough enough?
