1. The agreement between me and redeveloper for flat no 306 ( in redeveloped building) in 2016.
2. old agreement of 1994 with first owner and me for flat 102 ( in old building for which I got flat no 306 in new ) and share certificate of old society in my name)
3. I don't have have agreement of first builder and first owner of my old flat 102 which was of 1983 . I have Xerox copy of same and it is not registered.
I didnt face any difficulty to get new flat in newly developed building as my old agreement was before 1985 and hence no stamp duty was liable.
now with this, can I sell my new flat ? Are old agreementsof flat 102 needed or it can be done with my single new agreement of 2016? please guide. Thank you.

1. the agreement between you and the builder will suffice

2 do not worry. you will easily find buyers

3. coming to concern on stamp duty, if there were any deficit stamp duty, ie less stamp duty paid on any prior documents, your agreement would not have got registered in first place

4. you do not require the agreement between the original builder and original owner of old flat

Firstly, at the time of buying any property what matters is that the title deed in your favour, only a minimum inquiry required with regard to the old agreement.

Secondly, new record can easily be seen by the buyer through registrar’s office after paying a nominal fees.

Thirdly, you please go ahead and sell the same.

Rest if needed, you can have a detail conversation with me through Kanoon.

1. The Duly Stamp Duty paid and Registered agreement of 2016 between yourself and the builder, and the Share Certificate for the new Flat, is more than sufficient enough to Sell /Gift /Transfer the Flat, to anybody.

2. IF required an indemnity bond, may be executed by you, and annexed with the current Sale-Deed, for any eventualities.

If the bank is demanding the previous link document showing the title to the original vendor selling the property to you, then it will be imperative for you to produce the same.

No property can be bought by an unregistered sale deed, hence you have to produce the original registered sale deed held by your vendor while he executed a registered sale deed to you on the this property.

1. the flat can be sold with your single new document also.

There is no requirement of having the old document in hand.
