The Verification Process

Every listing is verified before you ever see it.

Dealkarado doesn't just list property below market value — we verify why it's below market value. Eight checks stand between a seller's claim and a listing going live.

01

Seller Verification

Identity is confirmed directly with the seller before a listing is ever accepted onto the platform.

What we check

  • Government ID of the seller matched against the name on the title documents
  • Contact details confirmed by a direct call with the seller, not only a form submission
  • Where a broker or representative is involved, their authority to act for the owner
  • For company-owned property, the authorised signatory and board resolution

Documents we request

  • PAN / Aadhaar of seller
  • Power of Attorney (if applicable)
  • Broker RERA registration (if applicable)

Red flags that stop a listing

  • Name mismatch between ID and title
  • Seller unwilling to speak directly
  • Unregistered or expired Power of Attorney
02

Property Ownership Verification

Title deed and ownership records are cross-checked against official registries to confirm the seller has the legal right to sell.

What we check

  • Chain of title traced back through previous sale deeds
  • Mutation / revenue records reflect the current seller as owner
  • All co-owners and legal heirs identified, with consent to sell
  • For builder units: allotment letter, builder-buyer agreement and transfer permissions

Documents we request

  • Registered sale deed / conveyance deed
  • Mutation record / Jamabandi
  • Allotment letter & builder-buyer agreement

Red flags that stop a listing

  • Broken chain of title
  • Undisclosed co-owner or heir
  • Property still in builder's name with no transfer path
03

Document Verification

Sale deed, encumbrance certificate, and municipal tax records are checked against official documentation, not just scanned uploads.

What we check

  • Originals sighted or matched against registry and municipal records
  • Encumbrance certificate reviewed for mortgages, liens and charges
  • Property tax paid up to date with no outstanding municipal dues
  • RERA registration, Occupation Certificate and approved plans for project units

Documents we request

  • Encumbrance certificate
  • Latest property tax receipt
  • Occupation / Completion Certificate
  • RERA registration number

Red flags that stop a listing

  • Tampered or inconsistent scans
  • Unreleased bank loan with no lender NOC
  • Unpaid tax or maintenance arrears
04

Legal Due Diligence

An independent legal review flags disputed titles, pending litigation, or co-owner consent issues before a buyer ever sees the listing.

What we check

  • Search for pending litigation or court orders involving the property
  • Review of any stay, attachment or acquisition notice
  • Consent position of co-owners, spouses and legal heirs
  • Land-use and conversion status for plots and commercial property

Documents we request

  • Title search report
  • No-objection certificates from society / lender
  • Land-use / CLU certificate (plots)

Red flags that stop a listing

  • Active litigation or stay order
  • Government acquisition notice
  • Agricultural land sold as residential
05

Property / Physical Verification

The property, its occupancy status, and current condition are confirmed on the ground and documented with photographs.

What we check

  • Tower, floor and unit number match what is on the documents
  • Carpet / super area checked against the approved plan
  • Occupancy status: vacant, owner-occupied or tenanted (and lease terms)
  • Fresh, dated photographs of the actual unit — not brochure images

Documents we request

  • Approved floor plan
  • Rent agreement (if tenanted)
  • Society NOC / maintenance statement

Red flags that stop a listing

  • Unit on the ground differs from the unit on paper
  • Illegal structural additions
  • Tenant unwilling to vacate
06

Market Value Benchmarking

Recent transactions and comparable properties in the same micro-market are reviewed to confirm the asking price is genuinely below fair value.

What we check

  • Recent registered transactions in the same project or sector
  • Comparable active listings adjusted for floor, facing and condition
  • A Dealkarado Fair Value range is set for the property
  • All-in cost reviewed: stamp duty, PLC, EDC/IDC and other charges

Documents we request

  • Seller's expected price
  • Price breakdown of additional charges

Red flags that stop a listing

  • Asking price at or above fair value
  • Hidden charges that erase the discount
07

Seller Intent / Urgency Verification

The reason for urgency is documented and validated — the discount reflects genuine seller timeline, not a fabricated deadline.

What we check

  • Reason for the sale recorded — relocation, loan closure, business need, estate settlement
  • Seller's realistic closing timeline: 7, 15, 30 or 60 days
  • Seller's readiness to register within that timeline
  • Consistency between the stated reason and the documents on file

Documents we request

  • Seller declaration of reason and timeline

Red flags that stop a listing

  • "Urgency" used only as a sales tactic
  • Timeline that the paperwork cannot support
08

Deal Score Assignment

Once every prior check clears, the listing is assigned a Deal Score summarizing price advantage, documentation, urgency, and liquidity.

What we check

  • Price advantage vs. Dealkarado Fair Value
  • Document confidence from the checks above
  • Seller urgency and property liquidity
  • Location quality based on field confirmation

Red flags that stop a listing

  • Listings that fail any earlier step never reach scoring
How We Score

Two scores, both fully explainable.

Neither score is a random or black-box number. Each is a plain average of factors tied to real, checked fields on the listing — so every part can be explained in one sentence.

Trust Score

Can we believe this listing's information?

An average of seven verification categories, each scored 0–100:

  • Ownership — Sale deed and ownership proof checked against municipal records.
  • Documents — Tax receipt and sale deed both on file.
  • RERA — Project RERA registration verified, where applicable.
  • Price — Asking price benchmarked against recent comparable transactions.
  • Availability — Property reconfirmed as available, with the date shown.
  • Location — Address and locality independently confirmed.
  • Agent — RERA certification and completed transactions of the agent.

Deal Score

Is this actually a good price?

An average of five factors, each scored 0–100:

  • Price Advantage — How far the asking price sits below Dealkarado Fair Value.
  • Document Confidence — Share of core checks confirmed: tax receipt, sale deed, ownership and litigation.
  • Seller Urgency — How time-bound the seller is — a 7-day timeline scores higher than 60 days.
  • Liquidity — How quickly this property type typically transacts in the market.
  • Location Quality — Whether the address and locality have been field-checked.

What verification is not

We want you to know exactly where our process ends, so you know where yours should begin.

  • We are not a law firm and do not issue a legal title opinion.
  • Verification relies on the documents shared by the seller and on records available to us at the time of checking.
  • We are not a party to the sale, and do not hold or handle buyer or seller funds.
  • Scores describe a listing at a point in time — availability and price are reconfirmed, but can change.
Questions

Frequently asked

Does every listing on Dealkarado go through all eight steps?

Yes. A listing that does not clear a step does not go live. Where a check is still in progress, it is shown as pending on the listing so you can see exactly what has and has not been confirmed.

Why is the property priced below market? Isn't that a warning sign?

That is the question our process is built to answer. Step 07 documents the genuine reason for the seller's urgency, and Step 06 benchmarks the price against recent transactions so the discount is real — not the result of a hidden defect.

What is the difference between Trust Score and Deal Score?

Trust Score answers "can we believe this listing's information?" — it averages seven verification categories. Deal Score answers "is this actually a good price?" — it averages five factors led by price advantage. Both are plain averages of checked fields, so each part can be explained in one sentence.

Can I see the documents myself?

Yes. Every verified listing includes a Verification Report with the 10-point checklist and its status. Serious buyers can request to review the underlying documents before a site visit.

Should I still do my own due diligence?

Always. Our verification reduces risk and saves wasted visits, but we strongly recommend engaging your own lawyer and financial advisor before signing or paying anything.

I'm a seller. How do I get my property verified?

Submit your property through the Sell page. Our team will contact you, request the documents listed above, and walk you through each step before your listing goes live.

The Result

Every verified listing includes a Verification Report you can review before you ever schedule a visit.

No guesswork, no wasted site visits — just a documented case for why the property, and the price, are what they claim to be.

Any legal verification is subject to the documents shared by the party. Dealkarado is not a legal team — we do our best to verify everything, but we are not responsible for any dispute or legal matter beyond the scope of our consultancy service, and are not a party to any property or financial transaction.
