Legal Documentation (Crucial Documents): Sale Deed/Title Deed: Primary legal document proving ownership transfer. Encumbrance Certificate: Confirms the property is free from legal/financial liabilities. Khata Certificate: Proves the property is registered with local authorities. Sale Agreement: Outlines terms, price, and payment details. No Objection Certificates (NOCs): Required from various authorities (e.g., electricity, water). Occupancy Certificate: Required for new buildings to confirm compliance with regulations. The Process of Buying: Verification: Verify the title deed (30 years) for any dues or encumbrances. Negotiation and Booking: Negotiate the price and pay an advance/token amount. Sale Deed Registration: Sign and register the Sale Deed at the sub-registrar's office. Tax and Duties: Pay stamp duty and registration fees. The Process of Selling: Marketing: Use, professional photos, or agents to list and show the property. Due Diligence: Prepare all documentation, including tax receipts and NOCs. Sale Agreement: Sign the agreement and receive a deposit. Transfer: Hand over possession upon final payment and registration. Key Risks to Manage: Hidden legal disputes, unpaid property taxes, or incomplete documentation. Ensure all taxes and fees (capital gains tax, transfer tax) are handled properly
