Dear Sir, I have peace of plot in my mothers name with clear title but I don't have any document.I want to sell this property but without any document i cant sell, what step should i follow so that i can get those document and sell this property smoothly.
Buying such a house becomes very risky, if the owner might have mortgaged the house in order to obtain a loan. The sale deed could be with a bank while the owner states that the document was lost. In such cases, if you purchase the property, you could not only lose the money but also may be forced to repay the loan on the property.
A sale deed is one of the most valuable legal documents in the purchase or sale of a property. The value of the sale deed will differ from state to state in the country and as prescribed by the Stamp Act of the respective State. A sale deed has almost all the details required to carry out the purchase or sale of a property. Most importantly the sale deed would require the seller to certify that the property under sale is free from any encumbrance and without any lien.
Thanks David for sharing information , I would like to add that the sale deed is registered at the jurisdictional sub-registrar’s office. Apart from the buyer and seller of the property under sale the witnesses should also be present at the time of registration. It would also clearly mention the exact date on which the seller would hand over to the buyer the original property related documents and the date of subsequent possession of the property under sale.
If the sale or purchase deed is misplaced, an indemnity bond needs to be furnished by the seller. If the sale deed is lost, you can obtain a duplicate certified copy from the concerned sub registrar's office. Following steps help you to get your duplicate sale deed: 1. Lodge police complaint 2. Notify in Newspaper 3. Prepare an Affidavit 4. Get your Duplicate sale deed from registar offices.
First you should lodge police complain and file a FIR reporting about the missing documents, advertise the loss of your documents in a prominent newspaper, Prepare an affidavit for the lost documents and visit the sub-registrars office where the flat was registered and apply for the copy by paying the prescribed charges and enclose required documents.
