Real Estate Advisory
Property transactions, title verification, RERA compliance, and real estate disputes.
Securing Value in Every Square Foot
Buying or developing property in India comes with risks that are not always visible on the surface. An ownership record that looks clean may carry a decades-old encumbrance. A developer may have mortgaged project land to a bank without disclosing it to buyers. A sale agreement may be missing the protections you need if the other party does not perform. These are not rare situations; they are among the most common causes of property disputes in India, and they are entirely avoidable with the right legal advice at the start. At HRU Legal, every property transaction our clients enter into is thoroughly investigated, correctly documented, and legally secure before any money changes hands.
We provide legal services to developers, individual buyers, commercial tenants, institutional investors, and non-resident Indians across the full range of real estate matters: title verification, RERA registration and compliance, sale deeds and development agreements, NA permission applications, land conversion, conveyancing, and revenue record management. Our team has extensive hands-on experience with Gujarat's revenue system, including the 7/12 Extract, mutation procedures, NA sanad records, and the revenue hierarchy from Mamlatdar to Revenue Tribunal. When property disputes arise, whether a builder has failed to deliver, a landlord-tenant conflict has escalated, or a title is being challenged, our litigation team provides focused and effective representation in civil courts and before the Gujarat RERA Authority.

01Investigation
The most important step in any property purchase is establishing whether the seller actually has a clean, unencumbered, and transferable title to what they are selling. We trace ownership back at least thirty years through Gujarat's layered revenue record system, covering the 7/12 Extract (Satbara Utara), the 8-A account of rights, Village Form VI (Hakkpatra), and the mutation registers at the taluka level. We cross-reference these records with the sub-registrar's registered document index to identify every instrument that has affected the property within the search period, including sale deeds, gift deeds, mortgages, court decrees, and family settlements.
We also search District Court and High Court records for attachment orders, injunctions, and lis pendens notices that could restrict the property's transfer. We search CERSAI for registered mortgage charges. For properties within a housing project, we verify RERA registration and examine whether the developer has mortgaged the project land to a lender, because such a mortgage, without adequate RERA disclosure, creates a title risk for every allottee in the project.
You receive a Title Report that clearly states whether the title is marketable, identifies every issue found, and tells you specifically what must be resolved before the transaction can safely go ahead.
Domain Mastery
Title Verification
We produce detailed Title Verification Reports tracing the complete ownership history of a property, identifying every encumbrance and legal issue, and delivering a clear opinion on whether the title is marketable. For large land parcels with multiple survey numbers and ownership chains, we produce consolidated reports suitable for submission to banks and institutional investors.
RERA Compliance
We provide complete RERA compliance services to developers: project registration, escrow account management, quarterly progress reporting to the Authority, and responses to RERA notices. For allottees, we file and argue complaints for builder delays, specification defects, and misrepresentation before the Gujarat RERA Authority and the Appellate Tribunal.
Conveyancing
Every property document we prepare is tailored to the specific transaction, the property, the parties, the commercial arrangement, and the applicable stamp duty. We manage the complete process from drafting through to registration, including stamp duty assessment and sub-registrar coordination, and we deliver a full set of executed documents and receipts at completion.
