My brother was having a plot land and on which there was a house built by him... last year he transferred the property to me by transfer of property within blood realtion.... but in tp there is only mention of land transfer... .. so the owner of land becomes me .. do iam still not the owner of the house being the owner of that land?

1) gift deed should mention land and house constructed on said land 

 

2) if it is not mentioned then brother remains owner of the house 

 

3) when you purchase land and house built on it then stamp duty would be as per the circle rate

If the property has been transferred then the immovable property attached to it is also deemed to be transferred. 

The value of land will be as per the circle rate. market price can be negotiated between the parties depending on the physical condition of the property.

You can do the said house in your name through gift deed and the rate of the other house will be different from circle rate of land which can be mutually decided

See if the house along with the construction is not transferred then technically you are owner of the land only.

Secondly for construction duty shall be applicable. THe value shall be as per land and construction in circle rate and if sale value is higher then the circle rates then on sale value.

For age depreciation is available.

Your brother can apply for regularisation of construction done in the land 

 

2) if it is unauthorised house can be demolished by the muncipal corporation

See if the house is not as per the approved plans then either it has to be regularised by seeking permission from the appropriate authority or the authority has power to demolish.

Until he claims it's yours but legally you don't have the title of that house.  You need to execute separate deed for the same as the earlier sale deed doesn't mention the house

the transfer of land will be deemed to be taken as transfer of land with house standing thereon if the possession of the house is given to you

Dear sir 

If a property is transfered by way of transfer of property act then ownership of all the assets on the land will also be deemed to tranfer to the new owner.

and if you want to buy the house its value will be according to circle rate.  But if there is a house or something else is build on the land then the seller will also count the value of that asset also and he will tell you the value accordingly if house is newly built then the value will be high.  If it is old and need reconstruction or renovation. Then value of property will change accordingly.

So don't worry about the house if land ir yours than house on the land will also be yours.

If a plot is transferred by a registered deed by its owner to the buyer, then it is implied that the plot along with the structure above that also will be transferred vide the said document.

It is not understood that how your brother did not mention the structure above the land in his registered transfer deed. In my opinion, since  he bought the vacant land, he might have transferred the vacant land alone as per his original title document and the structure standing above the vacant land might have missed his attention.

You may ask and clarify this detail from him and get  a registered rectification deed executed rectifying this mistake.

In my opinion, there should have occurred a mistake while transferring the property to you by this registered deed.

You may clarify the same from your brother and get a registered rectification deed executed to clear the discrepancy.

Instead of raising the same doubt here again and again, you may better get the issue clarified from your brother and if necessary get a registered rectification deed to rectify the mistake of omission of the structure above the land while executing the registered transfer deed in your  favor.
