Buying a resale flat can be a good investment, but verifying the property’s ownership, legal status and outstanding dues is essential before making a payment.

At VerifyMyProperty, we help property buyers understand the legal and documentary aspects of a property before committing their money.

Essential Documents to Check

1. Registered Sale Deed

Verify the seller’s ownership and the property’s description.

2. Chain of Title

Examine previous ownership documents to identify gaps or inconsistencies in the title history.

3. Encumbrance and Mortgage Records

Check for registered mortgages, charges and other recorded interests affecting the property.

4. Society Share Certificate

Verify the seller’s membership and the relevant flat details in the society records.

5. Occupation Certificate (OC)

Check whether the applicable OC covers the building or wing in which the flat is located.

6. Approved Building Plans

Review relevant sanctioned plans and approvals for discrepancies affecting the flat.

7. Property Tax and Maintenance Receipts

Check for outstanding taxes, society maintenance and other applicable dues.

8. Seller’s Identity and Authority

Confirm the seller’s identity, ownership interest and legal authority to transfer the property.

9. Litigation and Dispute Records

Check for relevant court cases or legal disputes affecting the property.

10. Draft Sale Deed

Review the sale consideration, payment terms, property description, representations and transfer conditions before signing.

Before You Pay the Token Amount

Do not rely solely on the seller’s latest Sale Deed or society share certificate. Review the relevant documents together and investigate any missing records, inconsistencies or unresolved liabilities.

A property-specific legal review can help identify potential risks before you complete the transaction.
