At Servefar, we simplify your property sale with expert documentation and verification services. Whether you're an NRI selling from the USA, UK, UAE, or anywhere abroad — or a local owner in Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Vizag, or Guntur — we ensure legal transparency, buyer verification, and a smooth transaction from offer to registration and beyond. No step is missed. No detail is overlooked.
Phase 01
Pre-Sale
Before listing your property, we conduct thorough groundwork to ensure the sale can proceed smoothly, legally, and at the best possible price.
Ensure the property has all required documents to sell — title deed, encumbrance certificate, approved building plan, and occupancy certificate
Review buyer credentials — verify identity, financial standing, and purchase intent to ensure serious, qualified buyers
Enquire the buyer's source of income and occupation — compliance with FEMA regulations for NRI sellers and LTV norms for financed purchases
Prepare the agreement of sale — terms, price, timeline, and conditions drafted clearly and legally for both parties
Register the agreement of sale at the local sub-registrar's office — making the intent legally binding for both parties
Ensure the advance payment is made officially — token amount received and acknowledged as part of the sale agreement
Hand over property documents to the buyer for their independent verification — ensuring full transparency in the transaction
Prepare or review the sale deed — ensuring accurate details of the property, parties, and sale terms before registration
Involve and invite all concerned parties — seller, buyer, witnesses, and legal representatives — for the registration process
Obtain and review tax receipts, utility bills, and property tax records — confirming all dues are cleared before sale
Deal with government departments for pre-registration tasks — GHMC, municipal corporation, revenue department, and sub-registrar
Ensure all property liens are listed — confirming no pending mortgages, court attachments, or encumbrances on the title
Obtain no objection certificate and no dues letter from the society — required for apartment or gated community properties
Help in paying all necessary taxes and bills — capital gains tax estimates, TDS implications, and any outstanding municipal dues
Phase 02
Pre-Registration
The period between agreement and registration — we ensure everything is in order so registration day proceeds without delays or complications.
Review the agreement of sale document thoroughly — confirming all terms, price, timeline, and conditions are accurately reflected
Ensure the buyer has confirmed funds in place before the registration date — avoiding last-minute delays or cancellations
Ensure seller witness and their ID proofs are in place — arranged and confirmed ahead of the registration appointment
Collect buyer witness and their ID proofs along with all buyer data — Aadhaar, PAN, photographs, and contact details for registration formalities
Ensure original link documents are available for buyer review — the full chain of title going back to the original registered document
Handover property documents to the buyer for final verification — ensuring the buyer is satisfied before committing to registration
Coordinate the registration date with both buyer and seller — finding a mutually convenient slot and confirming all logistics in advance
Review documents for missing entries, inadvertently misspelled names, or wrongly numbered data — correcting errors before registration, not after
Ensure all documentation is in place for registration — stamp duty, registration fee, and all required forms prepared and ready
Photograph the property and ensure images are fixed in the new title deed — protecting both parties with visual documentation at registration
Arrange land survey by both private and government bodies — where the property is land, ensuring the exact area is verified and reflected in the title deed
Work with government departments during the registration process — sub-registrar's office, municipal corporation, and revenue department coordination
Help calculate the registration fee and secure the demand draft — ensuring correct fees are paid and documented for both parties
Confirm the buyer has mobilised funds before the registration date — final check on payment readiness to ensure the transaction proceeds on time
Register the property at the sub-registrar's office — managing the full process on your behalf so you don't need to be present
Facilitate funds transfer from buyer to seller — coordinating the bank transfer or demand draft at registration so funds reach your account securely
Phase 03
Post-Sale / Registration
Even after registration, the sale isn't complete until the documents are handed over and your funds are where they need to be. We close every loop.
Handover the original title deeds and link documents to the buyer — completing the physical transfer of all ownership records
Help repurposing funds received from the sale — coordinating with your chartered accountant for FEMA compliance and repatriation if you're an NRI seller
Transfer funds to your NRI account — facilitating the movement of sale proceeds to your NRE or NRO account within FEMA limits, with full documentation
Property tax services — ensuring the tax records are updated post-sale, with the new owner's name reflected in municipal records and Khata

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about selling property in India as an NRI
Yes, absolutely. You can execute a Power of Attorney (POA) at the nearest Indian consulate in your country, authorizing a trusted representative in India to handle the sale on your behalf. We coordinate with your POA holder throughout the process. Many of our NRI clients have sold properties without ever travelling to India.
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that authorizes someone in India to act on your behalf for property transactions. You can get it done at the Indian Embassy or Consulate in your country. We can guide you through the documentation required. It must be notarized, attested by the consulate, and in some cases, adjudicated in India before use.
We conduct a comparative market analysis based on recent sale transactions in your area, current listings, location advantages, property age, floor, facing, and amenities. We also factor in the buyer segment for your type of property. Our pricing strategy is realistic and data-driven — we have sold properties ranging from ₹25 lakhs to ₹3.5 Crores.
For property held for more than 2 years (long-term capital gains), the tax rate is 20% with indexation benefit. TDS is deducted at 20% for long-term gains and 30% for short-term gains. NRIs must have a PAN card and file income tax returns in India. We coordinate with our CA to handle all TDS filings and ensure compliance.
Once the sale is complete and TDS is deducted, the net proceeds are transferred to your NRE (Non-Resident External) account. From there, funds can be repatriated to your foreign bank account up to USD 1 million per financial year under LRS. Our CA handles Form 15CA/15CB filing, and we coordinate with your bank to ensure a smooth transfer.
