It is surprising that F lost all the previous sale deeds. How were they lost - was there any theft or fire or any other natural calamity? What steps has F taken to safeguard his interests so far - has he lodged any police complaint? In the absence of any satisfactory answers from F, it is not advisable to evince interest in the property.

Not a satisfactory response at all. There is likelihood of documents being deposited elsewhere to create a mortgage for securing some loan.

In my opinion, it is not advisable to purchase the property whose original title documents are lost are reported to be missing.

Moreover the property had been sold by power agent hence more cautious approach should be made in this regard.

There are possibilities for any legal heir to claim their share in the property based on the original title deed in their possession at a later stage, hence exercise abundant caution in this regard.

Insist on the original documents or else think twice before buying.

Obtain a legal opinion from a local lawyer.

Dear

You need all the original documents to go for purchase as it create a doubt about the property ownership.

It is advisable to lodge an FIR for lost of original Documents and give a publication in News paper about loss of documents.

As he is not providing you all the documents even it is mentioned in the title that all relevant documents are handedover than you should not go ahead with purchase.

Call off the deal.
