You do not need to come to India

This is the thing most families worry about, so let us settle it first. Our engineer goes to the property. You stay where you are.

Here is what actually happens.

1. You message us on WhatsAppTell us where the property is and what the report is for. Send photos of whatever papers you have. Nothing needs to be posted or couriered.
2. We arrange accessUsually a relative, a tenant, a neighbour or a caretaker opens the property. If nobody is available, tell us and we will work something out.
3. Our engineer inspectsHe measures, checks the construction and photographs everything. Every photo automatically records the date, the time and the exact location it was taken.
4. You see the photos the same dayWe send them to you. Many of our clients have not seen the property in years, and this is often the first look they have had.
5. You get the report by emailSigned and ready to use, in 48 to 72 hours. A printed copy can be couriered to India or abroad if you need one.

Why the photographs matter so much for you

When you are not in the country, you are trusting somebody completely. So we make that trust checkable.

Every photograph our engineer takes carries the date, the time and the exact position stamped onto the image itself. You can see for yourself that somebody stood at your property on that day. If a tax officer or a buyer ever asks, that evidence is already in the file.

What we are usually asked for

• Selling a property. Almost always needs a valuation for the gain, and if it was bought before 2001 the 1 April 2001 value usually saves a great deal of tax. More here.
• The buyer is deducting a large amount as tax. This is the biggest complaint we hear from families abroad. There is a way to reduce it. We explain it here.
• Inherited family property. Often needs valuing before it can be sold or divided. More here.
• Dividing property between family members. A neutral valuation prevents a great many arguments, especially when relatives are spread across countries.
• Proof of assets for a visa or residency file. More here.
