1) you can sell the flat after obtaining consent of bank to repay your bank loan
1. If the Flat has been mortgaged with the Bank, you can not sale it without the written consent of the Bank,
2. Bank also will not give you the consent unless you clear off its dues,
3. So, talk to the Bank and make the Bank third party in the sale agreement as per which the buyer will first pay off the Bank's dues for whcih the Bank will release the mortgage of the flat to enable you to sale the same to him.
1. If the flat has been mortgaged with bank it is practically impossible to sell it as mortgage of this nature is generally created by depositing with the bank the original title deeds of the property. Unless and until you have the title deeds in your possession no prospective buyer will agree to purchase the property.
2. Even if the title deeds are in your possession the prospective buyer, if he carries out due diligence test, will come to know that there is an outstanding loan, in which event he will not purchase the property if he is not willing to repay the outstanding loan to bank.
3. Ask the prospective buyer if he is willing to pay off the loan to bank. If he agrees you may propose this to bank whereupon bank may allow you to sell the property after the principal amount of loan along with interest thereon is repaid.
