Seller Background Check · four sources, one report

The land can be clean
and the seller not.

Every other check on this site answers a question about the land. This one asks about the person or company selling it. It searches the open web, the national court and tribunal index, our own RERA and CMDA registers, and what is reported about the property and its area, and gives you each finding with the exact source link so you can read the original yourself.

Every file opens on this cover: the name, the verdict, and one column per source, so a clean result visibly means clean in all four. Below it, every finding is numbered, dated, sourced and scored for whether it is really the same person.

One payment researches one name. ₹499 all inclusive. The report opens on its own link that you can download as a PDF and share with your lawyer.

What a seller background check is

A seller background check is a due-diligence report on the person, firm or company selling a property in India, as distinct from a title check on the land. Verified.RealEstate's check draws on four sources: the open web (enforcement action by the ED, CBI and income tax, regulator orders from SEBI, RBI and RERA, bank recovery and auction notices, insolvency, corporate standing, election affidavits, sanctions lists and press), the national court and tribunal index searched by name (district courts, High Courts, Supreme Court, debt recovery tribunals, company law tribunal and consumer commissions), the RERA and CMDA registers Verified.RealEstate holds, and, when a locality is given, what is reported about the property and its area. Every finding names its source with a link, its date, how serious it is, and how closely the name in the source matches the name checked. It costs ₹499, usually takes eight to fifteen minutes, and is delivered as a web report and a PDF. It reports what public sources say; it is not a legal opinion and not proof of identity.

Who are you buying from?

Give the name exactly as it appears on the document. If the seller signs through a company, enter the company name, then run a second check on the individual if you want both.
Used only to tell namesakes apart. It does not narrow the search: an enforcement case is reported where the case is, not where the land is.
A single detail like a trade, a company they run or a city can be the difference between the right person and a namesake.
The court index is read against it: a case recorded against the same name but a different spouse or father is set aside as a namesake's, with the reason shown.
Compared with the address on a court record, never used to narrow the search.
Four sources, one report. The open web in three passes (enforcement and attachments; regulators, banks and default; corporate standing, land disputes, political exposure, sanctions and press). The national court and tribunal index by name, including debt recovery tribunals and consumer commissions. Our own RERA and CMDA registers. And, if you give the locality, what is reported about the property and its area.

Where should we send the report?

We send the report link here so you do not lose it.
  • Every finding carries the exact source link. Nothing is asserted without one.
  • Payment is handled by Razorpay. We never see your card details.
  • No account needed. The report opens on its own link.

How the check works

1

Four sources, not one

Three bounded passes over the open web, one search of the national court and tribunal index, a sweep of our own RERA and CMDA registers, and a pass on the property and its area. Pages are read, not just linked.

2

Every claim is tied to its source

A finding that cannot be traced back to a page we actually retrieved is discarded rather than printed. What reaches your report has a link you can open.

3

You see how sure we are

Each finding shows how closely the name in the source matches the name you gave us, and whether the source is an official record, a press report or unverified.

What this check can and cannot tell you

Question Does this answer it?
Has an agency attached, raided or prosecuted this seller? Yes, where it was reported publicly
Has a regulator penalised, barred or deregistered them? Yes, where an order or report exists online
Is the company insolvent, in liquidation or a defaulter? Yes, where proceedings were reported
Is this definitely the same person with that name? No. We show a name-match confidence; you must confirm with ID
Is the seller a party in a court or tribunal case, reported or not? Yes. One search of the national index by name, including debt recovery and consumer commissions
Is this builder in the RERA or CMDA registers with complaints, lapsed files or sealed buildings? Yes, from the registers we hold
Is anything reported about this property or its area? Yes, when you give the locality
Does the seller actually own this land? No. Use Verify My Land for the title record

Seller background checks, answered plainly

Title records answer whether the land is clean. They say nothing about whether the person selling it is under investigation, has had assets attached, has been barred by a regulator, or is being wound up. A property can have a spotless encumbrance certificate and still belong to a group whose assets are subject to an attachment order, which is exactly the situation this check is built to surface before money moves.
Four sources. The open web in three passes: enforcement and attachments (ED, CBI, income tax, Benami Act, PMLA, FIRs for property fraud, lookout circulars, GST fraud); regulators, banks and default (SEBI, RBI, RERA orders, SARFAESI possession and bank auction notices, NCLT insolvency, wilful defaulter and fraud classification, cheque bounce); and corporate standing, land disputes, political exposure (election affidavits), sanctions lists and serious press. The national court and tribunal index by name, covering the district courts, High Courts, Supreme Court, debt recovery tribunals, company law tribunal and consumer commissions. Our RERA and CMDA registers: registered projects, lapsed files, complaints and orders, violation and sealed-building lists. And, when you give the locality, the property and its area: acquisition, road and rail alignments, flooding and encroachment action, planning enforcement, court orders on the locality and announced infrastructure.
Every finding is tied to a source the research actually read, and the link is printed with it so you can open the original yourself. Our system discards any finding that cannot be matched back to a source that was genuinely retrieved, rather than publishing it. If a finding is on your report, a real page said it.
This is the single biggest limitation of any name-based check and we show it rather than hide it. Every finding carries an identity confidence: how closely the name in the source matches the name you gave us. A weak match usually means a different person who happens to share a name. Adding the property locality helps, and you should always confirm identity against ID documents, the father's name and the address on the record before acting on anything.
That the sources searched returned nothing adverse for that name. For an ordinary private individual with no public profile, finding nothing is the normal and expected result, and it is not a clearance. Most litigation and nearly all regulatory correspondence never appears online. Treat a clean result as one good signal among several, not as a guarantee.
No. The report says what a source reported, attributed to that source, with its date. An investigation is not a conviction, an allegation is not a finding, and a case against a company is not a case against every person connected to it. Read the wording carefully and take a finding to your lawyer rather than treating it as settled fact.
Yes. Enter the company, firm, LLP or trust name and the check adapts: it looks for insolvency proceedings, regulator orders, licence action and corporate distress alongside the general search. For builders and developers this is the fastest way to find out whether projects have stalled or buyers have complaints on record.
Usually five to ten minutes, because four separate passes run real searches and read the pages they find rather than returning a list of links. You can close the page: the report stays at its own link and we send you that link on WhatsApp.
Yes. ₹499 is the total for one background check on one name. There is nothing further to pay.
No. This is a research report on what public sources say about a name. Whether any of it affects the property you are buying, and what to do about it, is a question for a lawyer. Our Legal Opinion service covers that.

What a seller check does not cover

This check tells you what the public record says about a person or company. It does not tell you who owns the land, whether the title is clean, whether a bank holds it as security, or whether a court case is on file. Pair it with these:

Court Case Search

The court index itself, by party name across the district courts, High Courts and Supreme Court. Catches cases that were never reported in the press.

Search court cases →

Verify My Land

Ownership, EC records, FMB sketch, zone checks and AI analysis for one property, in one report. Whether the seller actually owns what they are selling.

Verify a property →

CERSAI Check

Whether a bank holds this property as security through an equitable mortgage. That never reaches a court record or an encumbrance certificate.

Run a CERSAI check →

LandLens One

Ask anything about a property or a builder in plain words. The builder check runs one name across every RERA and CMDA register we hold: projects, lapsed files, complaints, sealed buildings.

Open LandLens One →

Price Map

Every registered sale around the property, with the price each deed actually recorded. Tells you whether the seller's asking price is honest before you negotiate.

See registered prices →

Property Tracker

Watch a property after you commit: a new registration against it, an EC entry, or a court case, and you hear about it on WhatsApp.

Track a property →

Deal Room

Buyer, seller and lawyer in one room, with every document, check and e-stamp in one place. The right place to put this report once you have read it.

Open a deal room →

Legal Opinion

A lawyer's title investigation across the parent documents, EC, revenue records and encumbrances, ending in a written opinion on whether the title is marketable.
