Indian Detective Agency in London
London's Gujarati and Punjabi families have been here since the 1950s and 60s, some by way of East Africa, and their India interests have been passing quietly down the generations ever since. We find out where those interests stand now.
Private investigator for India matters, for London families
London holds the largest and most varied Indian population in the United Kingdom, concentrated in Southall, Wembley, Harrow, Hounslow, Ilford and East Ham. Gujarati and Punjabi communities have been established here since the 1950s and 60s, with East African Asian families arriving in the early 1970s.
That history produces the most layered property questions of any city we work with. Families who left Gujarat or Punjab sixty years ago, sometimes via East Africa, frequently retain ancestral interests that have passed through three generations without the records being updated. Establishing the current position requires both record work and a physical inspection, and the answer is rarely what the family in London believes.

Casework
Typical situations from London
The kind of question we are asked, not accounts of real clients.
A house in a Gujarat town, left in 1968
The family left Gujarat for Kenya and then London. A house remains in the grandfather's name. We trace the record, establish who lives there and on what basis, and identify the heirs.
A Southall proposal
We check the match's family, job and marital history in Punjab while our London-side work confirms his UK job and address.
A respondent for a family-law case
A solicitor needs a respondent's current address in India for service. We trace and confirm it, and report the method.
Where in India London cases lead
London's cases divide between Gujarat, for Wembley, Harrow and East African families, and Punjab for Southall and Hounslow — with Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Bengal from East Ham and Tooting, and Mumbai and Delhi for professional and business matters.
