About Purasaivakkam Sub-Registrar Office

Purasaivakkam Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) is a key property registration office serving parts of Tiruvallur district under the Chennai zone. Buyers, sellers, and legal representatives use this SRO to register property transactions and obtain statutory records that establish ownership and transaction history.

This SRO has jurisdiction over 2 villages and covers a total of 156 survey numbers. Knowing the correct SRO is essential because registrations must be completed at the office that has jurisdiction over the property’s village/survey number. If your property falls within the Purasaivakkam SRO limits, all related deeds (sale, gift, partition, lease, etc.) and post-registration services like Encumbrance Certificate (EC) are typically handled here.

Documents Required for Registration

Carry originals and a set of photocopies. Missing documents are one of the most common reasons for delays in registration.

• Sale deed / title documents (drafted as per applicable format and legal requirements)
• ID proofs of buyer and seller: Aadhaar and PAN (commonly requested for verification)
• Photographs of buyer and seller (passport-size as required)
• Encumbrance Certificate (EC) for the relevant period to confirm transaction history
• Patta copy (where applicable) to support revenue/ownership details
• Property tax receipts (latest paid receipts to show tax compliance)
• Previous sale deeds / chain of title (parent documents establishing ownership continuity)
