Buyers, developers, businesses and families acquiring or developing property, including in the hills of Uttarakhand.

A property transaction is only as sound as the title behind it. We search the records, flag what the documents do not show, structure the purchase so that stamp duty and registration are handled correctly, and draft and negotiate the agreements. Where a project or developer is involved, we represent buyers and businesses under RERA.

We advise on the legal side of a purchase. We do not deal in land or act as brokers.

What we handle

  • Detailed title due diligence before you buy
  • Structuring property acquisitions, including stamp duty and registration
  • Drafting and negotiating agreements for property acquisition
  • Representation before RERA and other forums under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016
  • Checking what you can legally buy and use, given Uttarakhand's land-purchase rules for non-residents
  • Homestay and B&B registration under the 2026 tourism rules

Common questions

I live in Delhi. Can I buy land in Uttarakhand to build a homestay?
It depends on the type of land and the district. Since 2025, Uttarakhand bars people who are not residents of the state from buying agricultural land in most districts, and caps residential purchases. Have it checked before you pay any advance; we can do that for you.
Do I need to register my homestay before listing it online?
Yes. Under rules notified in June 2026, every homestay and B&B must be registered with Uttarakhand Tourism, and running one unregistered attracts a daily penalty. Owners who are not permanent residents of the state generally register as a B&B. Our guide below walks through the steps.
Do you help find property?
No. We are not brokers. Once you have identified a property, we advise on and handle the legal side.
