Buying · checklistBefore you pay a token amount
The five minutes of paperwork that save the next five months.
- See the title chainAsk for the last two sale deeds, not only the current one. Gaps in the chain are the most common problem.
- Pull the encumbrance certificateThirteen years is the usual ask. It shows any registered loan against the property.
- Match the planCompare the approved building plan with what is built. An unapproved extra floor becomes your problem.
- Check the duesProperty tax receipt, electricity bill and society dues, all in the seller's name and current.
- Get it in writingWhatever the seller promises about the token, the deadline and the refund, put it in the agreement to sell.
