Property Sale / Purchase

Property papers are verified generally under two circumstances, one is during purchase and other during lease of the property. Property paper verification is done to ensure that fraudulent acts or misrepresentation of the property has not happened, and it also helps in peaceful possession of the property

When you decide to buy a property or commercially lease a property, the first thing you should do is get the property papers verified by a property legal expert.

Depending on the type of property you are buying, you will need to get the relevant documents verified by a Property Lawyer.

According to the Registration Act, 1908, any transaction having the sales proceeds of Rs 100 has to be registered. So, practically registration is a must wherever there is a sale and purchase of property or transfer of property. When you register your property, you will be able to establish your lawful ownership on the property.

If you do not register your property, you will not be able to further sell the property. You will also not be able to mortgage your property or raise any loan against the property. In case your property gets acquired by the government, you won’t be entitled to compensation if the property has not been registered.

The documents needed for registration must be presented within four months from the date of execution. Failure to register the purchase agreement of a property will attract a penalty. If a document that needs to be registered, remains unregistered, then it will not be acceptable by the court of law.

The stamp duty varies from one state to another. The stamp duty is calculated as a certain percentage of the sale value of the property. In some states, it varies from 5% to 7% of the property sale value. You can pay stamp duty in cash, cheque, demand draft, pay order, or NEFT transfer.

Previously, the Sale Deed document was returned after 4 months, but today, due to computerization, the copy of the Sale Deed is available on the same day.
