Search of Land Records
Land records are kept by the Land Registry to facilitate property transactions. For every land transaction, it is important to ascertain who the registered owner of the property is and if any incumbrances are registered against it. The required information can be obtained by conducting land searches.
Modes of Search
Searches of land registers can be conducted through counter search and self-service search services. You can also place orders for copies of land records for properties. Service for inspection of original Government Leases and Block Government Leases is available by appointment.
Search services are also provided through Integrated Registration Information System (IRIS).
