1. You should obtain a copy of the sale deed from the office of the registrar to ascertain whether the antecedent title is clear and marketable.

2. Engage a lawyer to find out whether there is any litigation with respect to the property you wish to purchase.

3. If you get a green signal from your lawyer you may go ahead and purchase the property.

Yes the property seems to be safe to buy. Still get all the connected documents verified by a local lawyer.

Since you have collected the certified copy of lease-cum-sale deed from the Sub-Registrar's Office and also you have checked the EC and found the property as unecumbered and also you say that you know the family of the seller, nothing prevents you from going ahead in the transaction. However take legal opinion on the property from a local lawyer, before proceeding further.

It is a leasehold property and only sale agreement had been registered, the sale deed will be registered only after conversion to freehold. They have to get it converted from the society. Though you know the family members very well and they are all good people and there can be no suspicion about the property, but still without a sale deed with the vendors, you cannot get a sale deed executed in your favor because they do not have title to the property proposed to sell to the prospective purchaser. You will land up in trouble when yo would go for reselling it.
