Deeds & Notary Services: common questions

What is a title search?

The notary examines the Land Registry folios to trace ownership and find any mortgages, seizures or competing deeds before you pay.

What does stamp duty cost on a transfer?

Stamp duty is set by each Provincial Council, typically 3% of the first LKR 100,000 and 4% of the balance. Your notary will confirm the current rate.
