You can take a transfer of shares of that company from the existing shareholders 

the property will continue to remain in the name of the company

only the shareholding will change

you will save on stamp duty and registration fee

but you will have to pay stamp duty on the share transfer forms

By becoming a director of the private limited company you cannot automatically own the proeprty that belongs to the company, it will still remain as company's property only until and unless the company is transferring this property by a registered sale deed to your name exclusively. 

Therefore you can buy the property by a registered sale deed duly executed by the authorised representative of the company

You would like to buy the property and would like have vacant possession, in that case you should inform the seller to deliver vacant possession or else you do not venture into the purchase.

Buying the Property directly is a good idea.

As buying the company requires lot of Due Diligence and Continued Compliances
