Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers regarding property verification, marketplace listings, property management, NRI services, documentation procedures, fees, and timelines.
Property Verification & Marketplace Listings
What checks are completed before a property is marked as Verified on OWNRO?
We review government issued advertiser identity, verify ownership or written listing authorization, conduct a physical site inspection to confirm existence and dimensions, verify authentic site photography, and check preliminary consistency between the primary Sale Deed, latest Encumbrance Certificate, and Property Tax receipt.
Does a Verified Listing guarantee a legally clear, risk free title?
No. Listing verification confirms advertiser authority, physical existence, and preliminary record consistency. It does not replace a comprehensive 30 year historical title investigation. Buyers should always commission an independent Property Legal Opinion before entering into a purchase agreement.
Why was my submitted property not published immediately?
OWNRO never auto publishes unverified submissions. Every submitted property is held in our verification queue until identity, authorization, and physical inspection checks are completed.
Managed Property Services & NRI Stewardship
How do inspections work for occupied rental homes versus vacant properties?
Inspections of occupied homes strictly require reasonable advance notice, lawful access, and tenant coordination in accordance with tenancy laws. Vacant apartments, villas, and plots can be inspected on monthly or bi monthly schedules.
Does OWNRO collect rent into its own account or does the tenant pay the owner directly?
Rent and security deposits are transferred directly by the tenant into the property owner's designated bank account (including NRO accounts for NRIs). OWNRO tracks monthly compliance and follows up on your behalf.
Can an NRI initiate property management or documentation without travelling to India?
Yes. Most inspections, vacant property monitoring, and record retrievals can be initiated via a written authorization mandate. Where statutory representation is needed (such as executing a registered lease or sale), we guide you through Specific Power of Attorney attestation abroad and adjudication in India.
Property Documentation, Fees & Timelines
How are professional service fees separated from government fees?
OWNRO states its professional coordination fee clearly upfront. All statutory government charges.such as Stamp Duty, Sub Registrar registration fees, eSevai charges, and municipal taxes.are paid at actuals via official government challans or portals.
Do you guarantee government processing times for Patta transfer or mutation?
No. While we ensure your application is complete, accurate, and properly followed up, final approval and turnaround times rest with the jurisdictional Revenue or Municipal Authorities.
