Buying a property? 3 things you must know must know!



How many documents does your developer need to clear and have in hand?

There are many documents that you will need to ensure that your developer has cleared in his files. From the 7/12 document which is the most critical document of Title and proof of rights to land revenue tax receipts, Title Deed, Stamp Duty document, Encumbrance certificate, Municipal Corporation approvals, Release Certificate from the bank, Allotment letter and the development agreement, the list is quite long. Make sure you have correct legal advice on the whole gamut of approved documents required.

Has the property cleared legal titles?

Is your builder offering a pre launch scheme where the land has still not even been given a clear NA (non agricultural) title?
You will need to make legal checks on the history of this land – whether it still holds rights or interests of any third party that could pop up after you buy the land. Always make sure that you have had look at the ownership of land papers. It will save you a lot of head-ache at later stage.

Is your property being built on reserved land?

You might think that developers would never do this. But don’t be surprised if the government comes knocking on the door of your new residence asking you to evacuate because your house has been constructed on land which was only reserved for government projects like irrigation of a site of archeological research. Ensure that the proposed land is clear of such reservations.
