“I am buying, selling, gifting or mortgaging property.”
Every transfer of land in Sri Lanka must be attested by a Notary Public. A careful notary searches the Land Registry folios for at least 30 years, checks the plan and approvals, and makes sure the deed is registered so your title is protected.

Questions people ask
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.

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.
