Overview
About our property & real estate law practice
In property matters, due diligence before the transaction is worth ten times the litigation after. We help you do both right.
Property transactions and disputes in Tamil Nadu involve a complex web of revenue laws, registration requirements, local body regulations, and civil court proceedings. One wrong step in a property purchase — or one delayed response in a property dispute — can cost you enormously. AGD Law Associates provides end-to-end property legal services covering both transactional advisory and contentious litigation.
Our managing counsel has deep experience in Tamil Nadu's unique property law landscape — including patta transfers, guideline value assessments, encumbrance certificate verification, and DTCP/CMDA regulation — ensuring your property matters are handled by someone who knows the jurisdiction inside out.

Results that matter
Encroachment Removed
Commercial Property Encroachment
Obtained an injunction and mandatory court order for removal of illegal construction encroaching on client's commercial plot.
JDA Renegotiated
Joint Development Agreement Dispute
Resolved a disputed JDA between landowner and builder by negotiating revised terms and undivided share allocation through legal intervention.
At minimum: EC for 30 years, parent documents (chain of title), patta/chitta, survey field measurement sketch, building approval (if constructed), tax receipts, and check for any court cases in the district court records.
An EC (Encumbrance Certificate) from the Sub-Registrar shows all registered transactions on a property — mortgages, sale, lease — for a specified period. It confirms whether the property is free of liabilities. A clean EC is essential for purchase and for obtaining loans.
A sale agreement (agreement to sell) is a preliminary contract that sets out the terms of the future sale. The sale deed is the final, registered document that transfers ownership. The sale deed is what confers title — the agreement alone does not transfer property.
A GPA holder can execute a sale on behalf of the original owner only if the GPA specifically authorizes sale. We strongly recommend verifying the GPA's validity, whether the original owner is alive, and that it is properly registered and notarized.
