Frequently asked questions

Can an NRI in New Zealand buy or sell property in India remotely?

Yes, this is commonly done through a registered Power of Attorney authorising a representative in India to complete the transaction, with the specific documentation depending on the deal.

How is a Power of Attorney executed from New Zealand?

The document is typically signed and attested following the requirements of the High Commission of India, Wellington, then sent to India where it may require adjudication or registration depending on its use.

What does a property title search cover?

It covers the chain of ownership, encumbrances such as existing mortgages, and any pending litigation affecting the property, to confirm the seller’s legal right to transfer clear title.

Can VIVS Legal represent me in New Zealand for property matters there?

These pages concern Indian-law work and proceedings in India. Any advice on New Zealand property law must come from an appropriately licensed local professional.

What are common risks for NRIs investing in Indian property?

Common risks include unclear title, unauthorised sale by a relative or POA holder, undisclosed encumbrances, and disputes among co-owners or heirs, which a title search and careful documentation help identify.

What should I send for an initial property review?

Send the property documents, any existing agreement or POA, and a brief description of the transaction or dispute for an initial assessment.
