• Property registration

I purchased a flat in 1989. Paid stamp duty but did not register the property. The seller is not available now. Those days the registration document used to b retained for microfilming and they would not give back without bribes. So I was advised against it.
What needs to b done if I have to sale the property in next 2 years.

1. Your purchase is nor complete until and unless you get the deed of conveyance executed and registered.

2. In this case its not done.

3. However this is no restraint if you wish to sell the same provided the seller or in his absence his legal heirs sign as vendor and you as confirming party.

Sale deed should be reflected in the encumbrance certificate. make an arrangement to bring your vendor and get the sale deeds registered.

In whose name the property is in the documents? If you have all the proofs of payments , file a suit for declaration to get a decree of ownership in your name

You may get the deed registered now.

The deed will now be executed by the legal heirs of the seller, incase he is dead or unavailable.

You may note that the registration can not be done after 28 years.

Please sell the property only after a deed of confirmation is executed and registered.

Also, you may note that the registration has to be done within 4 months.

If you are in the knowledge of the registration number you can apply for certified copy of the same.

If your property was not registered then you may have to get the sale deed registered now by the vendor executing the sale deed document.

If the vendor is not alive then you may have to get it executed by the legal heirs of the vendor

Without registered sale deed document you cannot sell the property.
