Is there a market for a "Deep Due Diligence" service for property buyers?

I'm considering launching a specialized consultancy that offers a "Deep Due Diligence" report.

This would not be a lawyer's service (we wouldn't draft the sale deed). It would be a pure investigation service that goes beyond the standard online checks.

The service would promise to find the "offline" data, such as:

  • A comprehensive 30-year+ search for all past owners and mutations.
  • Verification of the land's actual classification (residential, agricultural, etc.) in the original revenue records.
  • An "on-the-ground" check for any un-recorded boundary disputes or encroachment issues.
  • A thorough search for any pending litigation or local disputes tied to that specific plot number.

The deliverable would be a simple, fat-checked "Clean Chit" or "Red Flag" report, giving the buyer a clear "Go / No-Go" decision.

  1. When you (or your family) bought property, did you just trust your lawyer/agent, or did you feel this "offline" information gap was a real risk?
  2. Do you believe this is a common problem, or are the online portals generally reliable enough these days?
  3. As a buyer, would you be willing to pay a separate fee for this kind of "investigation report" for your peace of mind?
  4. What would you consider a fair price for a service that could potentially save you from a ₹40 lakh mistake? (e.g., ₹10k? ₹20k? a % of the land value?)

I'm trying to see if this is a genuine need or if I'm just being paranoid. Thanks for any feedback!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
