Power of Attorney When You Cannot Be in Bangalore

Buyers based abroad or travelling constantly face a practical problem: parts of a property transaction require someone physically present. A power of attorney for property purchase India transactions rely on is the usual answer, and it is also the part of the process where general guidance is least reliable and professional advice most necessary.

Requirements for granting, attesting and using a power of attorney from outside India vary with the country you are in, the nature of the authority granted, and prevailing rules — and those rules change. This article will not describe the procedure, because a procedural description that is slightly out of date or slightly wrong for your jurisdiction is worse than none at all. Engage a property lawyer in India, and expect them to coordinate with requirements in your country of residence.

What can be handled remotely at MAIA Yelahanka covers more of the sequence than buyers often assume. An Expression of Interest secures queue position, with priority determined by EOI order rather than by presence in the country. Plot selection from the 8,000 sft, 10,000 sft and up-to-12,000 sft bands can be discussed remotely. The customisation brief with the design team suits remote collaboration well. And where travel is impractical, we can arrange a scheduled video walkthrough of the site and design preview.

One recommendation runs against convenience, and we make it anyway: visit before a booking converts. Density, setbacks, sightlines from a specific plot and the relationship between a parcel and the landscape spine are the things photography handles worst and that matter most at this format. A video walkthrough is a reasonable substitute for a shortlist stage and a poor one for a final decision on which plot to take.

Plan the legal side early rather than at execution. Establishing what authority will be needed, and putting it in place correctly, takes longer than most buyers allow — particularly across time zones and consular processes. Speak to a lawyer as soon as you are serious, not when the agreement is ready to sign. Our team will confirm timing and stage through the arrange a remote walkthrough so you can brief them accurately.
