Frequently Asked Questions

Ask a Question
How do I verify property title before buying in Karachi?
Title verification involves checking the chain of ownership, the latest mutation (intiqal), the approved layout/sub-lease, and any encumbrances or litigation against the property from the relevant land authority and sub-registrar. We carry out this due diligence before you commit, so you don't inherit someone else's dispute.
What can I do about illegal possession (qabza) of my property?
You can file a civil suit for possession together with an application for a stay order or injunction to prevent further construction or transfer. Where the occupation involves criminal elements, a parallel complaint may be appropriate. We assess both routes and pursue the fastest path to recovery.
How long does a property case take in Karachi?
It depends on the complexity, the court's schedule, and whether the matter is contested. Straightforward matters can resolve faster, while contested title suits take longer. We give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your documents.
Can overseas Pakistanis recover property without coming to Pakistan?
Yes. Through a Special Power of Attorney you can authorise us to file and appear on your behalf. We handle the entire property matter and keep you updated over WhatsApp and email.
What is the difference between a civil suit and a criminal complaint for property?
A civil suit establishes ownership and secures possession or partition. A criminal complaint addresses offences such as fraud, forgery, or criminal trespass. Many property disputes are pursued civilly; some warrant both, and we advise which applies to your facts.
