LegiTract LPS vs Manual Due Diligence
How AI-powered property ratings compare with traditional manual verification — and when to use each.
Property due diligence in India has long relied on manual processes — lawyers visiting sub-registrar offices, deciphering handwritten records in regional languages, and compiling subjective opinions over days or weeks. The LegiTract Property Score (LPS) introduces a standardized, AI-powered alternative that rates properties from AAA (Pristine) to C (Critical) in under 15 minutes.
Below is an honest, side-by-side comparison so you can decide which approach — or which combination — fits your workflow.

Why Property Professionals Are Switching
Manual property due diligence worked when transaction volumes were low and records were relatively simple. Today, property records in India are scattered across sub-registrar offices, revenue departments, municipal corporations, court registries, and RERA portals — often in different languages and formats. A single property in Hyderabad might require checking records in Telugu, Urdu, and English across five separate government systems.
Language barriers compound the problem. A lawyer based in Bangalore may struggle with property documents in Kannada mixed with historical records in Urdu or Marathi. Manual translation and interpretation introduce delay and risk of error.
Subjectivity is another persistent challenge. Two equally competent lawyers examining the same property can arrive at different conclusions. There is no universal scale for comparing one property's legal health against another — until now. The LPS rating brings the kind of standardization to property due diligence that credit scores brought to lending.
Finally, turnaround time matters. In competitive real estate markets, waiting 3-5 days for a due diligence report can mean losing a deal. Banks processing hundreds of mortgage applications need faster throughput without sacrificing depth.

Who Should Use What
Manual may work if...
- - You are verifying a single, well-documented property in a language you read fluently and have direct relationships with the local sub-registrar office.
- - The property has a very short ownership history with clear, unambiguous title and you need only a basic verification for a personal transaction.
LegiTract LPS is better if...
- - You process multiple properties and need consistent, comparable ratings across all of them.
- - The property has documents in languages you or your team do not read natively.
- - You need a turnaround faster than 3-5 days — for competitive deals, bank deadlines, or client expectations.
- - You want a standardized report that banks, clients, and stakeholders can instantly understand without interpreting subjective legal language.
The Bottom Line
Manual due diligence served India's property market for decades, but the complexity of modern property records, the demand for speed, and the need for standardized risk assessment have outgrown what manual processes can deliver. The LegiTract Property Score does not eliminate the need for professional judgment — it gives professionals a faster, more comprehensive foundation to build that judgment on.
