Sale Deed is one of the core legal documents that evidence the proof of property sale and transfer of ownership between the seller and the buyer is the Sale Deed. This document will help you ascertain whether the flat/ Villa in an apartment complex which you are buying, is on land belonging to the society/ builder/development authority in which the property is located. The first step is to see the title deed of the land which you are going to buy. Confirm whether the land is in the name of the seller and that the full right to sell the land lies with only him and no other person. It is better to get the original deed examined by experts. Along with the title deed, the buyer can also demand to see the previous deeds of the land available with the seller.
This is the most important aspect to be considered before buying a house. If you are buying a house on a leasehold land or land owned by government, do check for the non-objection certificate from competent authorities. To get such a certificate, you may have to pay prescribed fees which will further inflate the consideration for the property. The other most important thing is the entire history of agreements pertaining to that property.
If the boundaries are correct in sale deed then there is no contingency or issues arise in future. Also peruse the building approval Plan.
The authorities sanction a building approval plan taking into consideration the zonal classification, road width, floor area ratio and plot depth. One can obtain a building approval plan by submitting a set of documents such as the Title Deed, property assessment extract, property PID number, survey sketch (from the Department of Survey and Settlement and Land Records), up-to-date tax paid receipt, earlier sanctioned plans (if any), property drawings
