Gift Deed and Stamp Duty

What you get

A signed report from a government approved valuer, based on a real inspection, with the workings shown so the person reading it can follow how the figure was reached. Our registration number is printed on it. If anyone questions it later, the evidence is already in the file.

• An inspection that actually happened. Our engineer stands at the property. Every photograph carries the date, the time and the exact position.
• Comparable evidence, named. Real sales from the relevant area and the relevant period, identified so anyone can check them.
• Method stated openly. Which approach we used and why, with the adjustments set out rather than buried.
• The right date. A valuation is always as at a date. Get the date wrong and the number is useless even if the work is perfect.
• Currency where you need it. Rupees for the Indian side, converted for your side, with the exchange rate and its source stated.

How long it takes

Normally 48 to 72 hours from the site visit, once we have the basic papers. If it is urgent, tell us and we will treat it that way. For anything tied to a sale, start before you sign the agreement rather than after, because some of the biggest savings are only available in advance.

What it costs

It depends on the property type, its size and how far our engineer has to travel. Message us with the basic details and you get a firm figure before any work starts. No surprises later, and five percent off your first report.

What if the papers are missing

Very common, and usually not a problem. A deed from 1974 may simply not exist in the family any more. Records at the sub registrar office, property tax records and the notified rates for the area can normally fill the gap. Tell us what you do have and we will tell you straight away whether it is workable.
