Advocate for property transfer

Advocate for property transfer

 DUE DILIGENCE TO BE DONE WHILE PURCHASING A  PROPERTY

  1. First comes in the checklist is the Zone.Check it whether the property comes into the “R” OR “NON-AGRICULTURE” zone because if the the property is in non residential or non agriculture zone like green zone etc.you may not get approvals from authorities like MC for commencement of construction or if you get permission for construction in other zone, than R zone, the  F.S.I granted for other zones is comparatively less.
  2. The second must thing to do is “TITLE SEARCH”.
  3. Title search is must to do, but not enough, to ensure the property is without encumbrances,then what?
  4. Then the most important thing to be done after the title search is PUBLIC NOTICE.Public notice is meant for inviting any objections or claims regarding the property,this will make you aware if the land owner is playing double and has sold the same plot to somebody else also and if within the desired period no objections/claims are raised, you can move on.
  5. Next if the Landowner is handing over immediate possession go for a  registered sale deed.
  6. If the Landowner has promised, future possession, its better to go with agreement to sale and the consideration to be paid in part and the payment should be done through the negotiable instrument like Cheque/D.D or bank transfer NEFT/RTGS .In no case you should go for Cash transaction, There are  likely chances of deciet or fraud in Cash transaction.
  7. After a registered sale deed get the mutation entry done.see that your name has been arrived on the property card.
  8. Above are the general precautions to be taken.

CONVEYANCE DEED

CONVEYANCE DEED

In case of housing societies the builder/promoters have to ideally create deed of conveyance and hand over it to housing societies that to within 4 months after project completion. However, due to lack of knowledge many builders do not create such documents. There have been cases where builders have later on denied to create such documents and asked additional money to provide signatures on these documents. You will find all sorts of reasons for not creating the document. This results in issues for societies in future. Therefore, government has amended the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963 (MOFA) to make sure if builders run way from such responsibilities, the societies do not suffer. This amendment is called “Deemed Conveyance”. This amendment allows society owners to gain the legal rights of the land even if the builder is not willing to transfer the rights, in front of designated competent authority.

A valid conveyance deed must contain the following:

1. The actual demarcation of the property.

2. Other rights annexed to the property and its use.

3. The full chain of titles, that is, all legal rights up until the present seller.

4. The method of delivery of the property to the buyer.

5. A memo of the consideration, stating how it has been received.

6. Any further applicable terms and conditions for the full transfer of ownership rights.

Important points to consider, to ensure smooth purchase/sale of a property:

The seller is required to certify that the property is free of any legal encumbrance.

If a loan was taken against the property in question, then, the mortgage must be cleared before the deed is signed. Buyers have the option of having this checked at the local sub-registrar’s office.

The conveyance deed should state the exact date on which the property will be handed over to the buyer.

Within four months of the execution of the deed, all the original documents related to the sale of the property, need to be produced for registration before the local registrar.

The deed is required to be signed by at least two witnesses.

Advocate for Agreement and Sale Deed

 Advocate for Agreement and Sale Deed

Want to purchase a Flat? If Yes, Please Be Careful so you may not fall prey to  the frivilious offers by decietfull builders and developers .

While purchasing the Flat Property you should take the following care/ due diligence.

  1. Prefer a ready to move property rather an under construction property. If property is ready to move see that if the project has any tie ups with nationalised banks, if so the project is safe to invest because bank offers assitance to a project or scheme, after due diligence. Or else first thing to do is,to get the title search done. If title is clear than go for bank loan, because banks while granting loan takes due diligence while lending financial assistance. This again will be a safety check for verification and authentication of builder as well as project, if there are any existing encumbrances on the said property.If the bank is ready to sanction loan means there is absence of encumbrances like mortgage or lease.
  2. The next comes in the checklist, is verification  with RERA.whether the builder/ scheme is registered with RERA, if so, confirm that he has not been blacklisted by the Authority.
  3. Another thing to take into account while considering ready to move property is whether the scheme has been assigned completion certificate and occupancy certificate which validates, that it is ready to move property.
  4. If it is under construction property before giving the token amount, check whether builder has got commencement certificate and other approvals from the  public authorities like MSEB,MUNICIPAL CORPORATION or N.O.C from environmental dept.as well as fire and safety department.

WHY A CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETY IS BETTER THAN APARTMENT OWNERS ASSOCIATION?

WHY A CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETY IS BETTER THAN APARTMENT OWNERS ASSOCIATION?

1. The builder is interested in using the increased FSI which will be awarded by the govt. for that area at any time in future. If the ‘Society’ is formed, then upon the transfer and conveyance of land in favour of the Society, the increased FSI will be owned by the Society and the builder shall not have any right over it. But if it is an Apartment, then the builder owns that increased FSI and can use it anywhere. Thus, the builder will keep taking advantage of every increase in FSI throughout in the future.

2. In an Apartment, the builder retains the ownership of the open spaces which are not included in the saleable area. Example – Terrace or any open parking/stairs space which is not included in the saleable area. But in case of Society, the builder cannot retain any right on any of these areas and has to hand over everything to the Society. The Maharashtra Apartment Ownership Act also provides for the ownership of an individual Apartment in a building and to make such Apartment heritable and transferable property.

3. Bye-laws and Rules of ‘Society’ are binding on all the residents and nobody can act as per his/her whims. Hence, if the Society decides to ban any objectionable commercial activities in the flats such as noise-making music classes or using the flat for catering or courier activities etc or not to rent out to bachelors etc, then all the residents have to abide by it. But if it is an Apartment, then owners can violate the Apartment Rules and the Apartment Body can just file a case in the Civil Court. However, while the Society disputes are resolved in a separate Court i.e. Co-operative Court dealing with Society matters and hence they are fast resolved whereas, the Apartment matters have to be taken to the normal Civil Court and hence they typically take years and decades to resolve.

4. When the building contemplates redevelopment after 25-30 years, the Society’s decision will be final and hence the Society members will have negotiation power with the builder at that time. But if in case of an Apartment, the consent of every Apartment-owner is required and hence it goes into an endless delay due to lack of a common decision acceptable to everybody. There are many instances in Mumbai wherein finally the dilapidated buildings had to be forcefully vacated by an eviction order from Court since they became unlivable. Thus, while the decisions are taken on a ‘majority’ basis in Society, the Apartment goes with rule of ‘Acceptable by Everybody’. So if the builder has retained even one flat in an Apartment, he will play a veto card in his favour at the time of redevelopment.

BEST ADVOCATES FOR REGISTRATION OF HOUSING SOCIETY

BEST ADVOCATES FOR REGISTRATION OF HOUSING SOCIETY:

A co-operative society is the perfect fit for a residential building as flat-owners have common needs (water connection, watchmen, etc) and interests (maintenance of common areas, such as the terrace and compound). If you’ve purchased a flat in a new building, it would probably be best if you took interest in forming a society. The builder may also be statutorily obligated to form a society. For example, under Maharashtra Ownership Flat Act, 1963, a builder must form a society within four months of selling 60% of the flats.

But you needn’t wait for the builder to form the society. In many states, including Delhi and Maharashtra, ten flat-owners are enough to promote a co-operative housing society. A building without a housing society usually indicates that there is a dispute between members or a general lack of interest. If you’re considering buying a house in a building where the society has not been formed, find out what the problem is. If the builder does not form a society, rights to the terrace and the compound continue to rest with him.

Essential Elements in a Conveyance Deed

Essential Elements in a Conveyance Deed

The term “Deed” means a written legal contract that binds the parties to its terms and can be proved in the court as evidence.

The term ‘Conveyance’ is used when there is transfer of ownership or legal title in a property from one person to another. Hence, a conveyance deed is a legal document between a transferor and a transferee, which proves that a title or ownership in the property along with all other rights related to the property have been transferred from one person to another.

It informs that the property is free from any restrictions and disputes. Both parties sign it and it can be produced in a court if any dispute relating to the agreement arises in future.

However, a conveyance deed is a wide term which not only includes a sale of the property but also other kinds of transfers such as gift, exchange, lease, mortgage, relinquishment and other transfers.

A conveyance deed is valid only when the property is sold for a valid consideration (usually money) except in the case of a gift deed which results out of love and affection.

It can be signed for either movable or immovable property.

A conveyance deed is executed in accordance with the legal provisions under the Transfer of Property Act 1882, Registration Act 1908 and Indian Stamp Act, 1899.

In order to be valid and acceptable in a court, a conveyance deed needs to contain some essential elements. For instance, it must:

* Establish exact boundaries of the property to avoid any dispute relating to land ownership,

* State that all the rights relating to the property have been transferred along with the property,

* Provide details regarding delivery and acceptance of the property,

* State all terms and conditions relating to the transfer,

* Be made on a non-judicial stamp paper and signed by both parties,

* Mention full names, addresses and other requisite details of the seller and the buyer,

* State that the property is free from any disputes and restrictions,

* Be signed by at least two witnesses

* Be in writing and notarized, and

* Be registered through the local registrar’s office by submitting appropriate registration fee. Registration is proof that the property is free from any disputes and has been transferred to the buyer permanently with a clean title.

Once the registration is complete, the buyer becomes the absolute owner of the property and the conveyance process gets over officially. A lawyer and a real estate agent can help two parties compose, sign, and register a deed of conveyance during a transaction. The government obtains its revenue from the stamp duty and registration fees.
