Proper documentation is crucial for a safe property transaction. Here's a comprehensive checklist of documents you should verify.
Essential Documents
- Sale Deed: The primary proof of ownership
- Mutation Records: Entry in revenue records
- Encumbrance Certificate: Confirms no pending dues
- Building Plan Approval: For constructed properties
- Completion Certificate: For new constructions
- NOC from Society: For apartment transfers
Additional Checks
Always get documents verified by a qualified lawyer before signing any agreement. Check the property's history for at least 13 years to ensure clear chain of title.
