Property Registration & Transfer in Karachi
Sale deeds, gift deeds, mutation and society or authority transfers completed correctly.
In brief
A property is transferred differently depending on whether it falls under the Sub-Registrar, KDA, SBCA, a cooperative society, DHA or a cantonment board. Documents typically come under the Registration Act 1908, the Stamp Act 1899 and the Transfer of Property Act 1882.
We prepare the deed and guide both sides through stamp duty, taxes, NOCs and registration, so there is no gap in the title for future buyers.
Buyers, sellers, donors and heirs completing a transfer, and overseas owners acting through an attorney.

Questions clients ask
What is the difference between agreement and registration?
An agreement commits the parties to a sale, while a registered deed or the proper authority transfer normally completes it.
What taxes are payable?
Stamp duty, registration fee, and withholding taxes on buyer and seller may apply. Rates change, so we confirm current charges for your transaction.
Can a gift be made to a family member?
Yes. A gift deed needs to meet the legal requirements, and the taxes and registration procedure should be checked.
