Property Transfer & Mutation Services

Property mutation is the process of transferring a property's title from one person to another in the revenue records. It's important because:

• It establishes your legal ownership in government records
• It's required for paying property taxes in your name
• It protects you from fraudulent claims on your property
• It's necessary for obtaining utility connections
• It's essential for any future property transactions

The property transfer timeline varies depending on the authority and property type:

• DHA: Typically 30-45 days
• Cantonment Board: Approximately 45-60 days
• Military Estate (MEO): Around 60-90 days

With Go Wakeel's expertise, we work to expedite the process while ensuring all legal requirements are properly fulfilled. We'll provide you with a more accurate timeline during our initial consultation based on your specific property.

The basic documents required for property transfer include:

• Original sale deed/gift deed/inheritance document
• CNIC copies of both buyer and seller
• Property tax payment receipts
• Recent utility bills
• Property ownership documents (allotment letter, lease, etc.)
• Passport-sized photographs
• Authority-specific forms and applications

Additional documents may be required depending on the specific authority (DHA, Cantonment Board, or MEO) and the nature of the transfer. Our team will provide you with a comprehensive checklist during the initial consultation.

The cost of property transfer and mutation in Karachi consists of two main components:

1. Government Fees:

   • Transfer fee (varies by authority and property value)
   • Stamp duty (typically 3-5% of property value)
   • Registration fee
   • Mutation fee
   • Tax clearance charges

2. Service Fees:

   Our professional service fees depend on the complexity of your case, property value, and the specific authority involved. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden charges.

For a detailed cost estimate tailored to your specific property, please contact us for a consultation. We'll provide a comprehensive breakdown of all fees and charges.

In most cases, your physical presence is required at certain key stages of the property transfer process:

• Initial document signing
• Biometric verification (if required by the authority)
• Final document collection

However, at Go Wakeel, we minimize your involvement by:

• Handling all paperwork and documentation
• Managing all follow-ups with authorities
• Scheduling appointments at your convenience
• Providing clear instructions when your presence is required

If you're unable to be physically present, we can discuss alternative arrangements such as power of attorney options in certain cases.

Document issues are common in property transfers. Our team is experienced in handling various complications:

• Missing Documents:

  We'll guide you on how to obtain duplicates or alternatives from the relevant authorities.

• Discrepancies in Names or Details:

  We'll assist with the correction process through proper channels.

• Unpaid Taxes or Dues:

  We'll help calculate outstanding amounts and facilitate clearance.

• Title Defects:

  We'll work with legal experts to resolve title issues before proceeding with the transfer.

Our initial document verification process identifies potential issues early, allowing us to address them proactively before they delay your property transfer.
