1) Before making an sale agreement, ask him to get bank home loan sanction letter on his name. Here bank mentioned that hiw much loan is granted to particular man according to his Income. And that sanction letter validty is six months.

2) If he shows you Bank Loan sanctioned on his name than you can make the sale deed. If payment is not completed in the next six months than this agreement will be void and cancelled on payment ground. Don't give possession till final payment is received.

You can make a duly stamped and registered agreement. This is general procedure followed for bank loans for purchasing house.Once bank gets the agreement it sanctions the loan and on sanction the bank shall verify the property by physical verification and then after signing agreement of home loan by buyer the bank give the cheques, and requirement of bank will be of sale deed.

In agreement to sale you can specify the period like of 45 days or 60 days in which the buyer have to pay you complete amount otherwise the Agreement stands cancelled.

And you can keep a clause also for refunding the amount of token.

1. First you have to enter into an An Agreement of Sale with the prospective buyer by receiving atleast 10% of the sale consideration.

2. Before signing the agreement of sale you should ensure that the following conditions are inbuilt in the agreement of sale:

(a) Sale consideration

(b) Time for completion

(c) Mode of payment

(d) Breach of contract and specific performance clauses.

(3) Before signing the Sale Deed ensure that you have received the entire sale consideration.

The agreement for sale will be valid till the date up the validity of agreement as per the agreement about the party both of the parties may agree for the period of this agreement to be valid normally very long period is not considered safe so it is better to put Maximum 2 to 3 months to complete the loan process and bank will pay you directly and they won't be enter in the registration deed.

In case he cannot erase the loan within the specified period that should be exit class in the agreement and to for fieture of the token amount

1. The process is right but do not make any agreement with a token amount.

2. The earnest money to be paid at the time of sale agreement must be 20%-30% .

3. if they buyer pays a nominal amount he may delay the execution of the sale deed and your property may remain encumbered for long.

Contact a local to draft this agreement for sale for you, and include all the necessary points/clauses to safeguard your position.

Give the proposed seller a decent time frame so as to enable him to make the payment of the requisite consideration to you, under this agreement.

Get this agreement duly stamped and registered.

Ask the current buyer to take information and required forms from bank to apply for Home Loan. Meanwhile you two being parties get an agreement for sell. The buyer will get loan based on the documents and othe fulfilled requirements.To get loan he need to fulfil certain requirements. If he fulfil those requirements and the bank is satisfied then the bank will approve the home loan. The time is dependent on the fulfillment of the requirements.

If you are in urgent need to sell the flat then discuss it with the buyer so that he doesn't delay in fulfilling the requirements.

Clauses in the agreement will also help you in this regard.

Instead of this agreement with him alone, you may enter into a tripartite agreement with the buyer and the bank so that the bank shall pay the sale consideration amount directly to you instead of the buyer paying it to you.

This will be safest way of transacting with the sale of the immovable property in the event of the buyer is paying through bank home loan.

Approach the said bank and take the same in writing that for securing loan they require agreement to sale. You need to execute the sale deed once you receive the balance amount. It valid till sale deed. Both documents need to be registered.
