Conveyance Deed of Society in Pune

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 property transfer

Advocate for property transfer

DUE DILIGENCE TO BE DONE WHILE PURCHASING A PROPERTY

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.
The second must thing to do is “TITLE SEARCH”.
Title search is must to do, but not enough, to ensure the property is without encumbrances,then what?
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.
Next if the Landowner is handing over immediate possession go for a registered sale deed.
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.
After a registered sale deed get the mutation entry done.see that your name has been arrived on the property card.
Above are the general precautions to be taken.
