Property left unattended
A flat or house in India is hard to watch from the UK. Vacancies invite encroachment, unpaid dues and disputes with tenants or relatives.
Non-resident Indians
Support when the asset is in India and you are in the UK
Distance makes Indian property, tax and court work harder to control. We take the instruction in Manchester and carry out the local steps with our offices in Kolkata.
Issues we see most often
Title and inheritance
Unclear titles, missing wills and heirs in different countries slow a transfer and can lock a sale.
Power of attorney
A power of attorney lets someone act for you in India. It has to be drafted and attested correctly, and it has to be limited to what you intend.
Selling from abroad
A remote sale needs valuation, buyer checks, registration and a clean path for the proceeds.
Tax across two countries
Income, capital gains and wealth can be taxed in India and the UK. Treaty relief only works if the filings match.
Court dates you cannot attend
Civil, criminal and consumer matters in India still need a local representative when you are in the UK.
