Hello, In the race for generating maximum profits, yes there are lots of cheating and fraud cases. But yes there are honest engineers who value the responsibility entrusted in them by their customers. In case you are building a home then one way of filtering is by making sure that the company you are dealing with is headed and managed by qualified engineers in the construction field. They will guide you step by step from legal opinions to proper engineering and construction practices so that your investment is safe.
Hi, I am planning to buy property in Navi Mumbai for self use. Is there any good property is developing by the Palm Structure in Navi Mumbai? Kindly share some project related information. Thanks....
Hi, You are right. Yesterday i was reading the real estate news and found that he managing director of RRB Housing Company Limited and his son had run a construction company in Ekkatuthangal and took cash deposits from people who were interested in buying apartments.
Police has arrested them for cheating more than 220 people to the tune of Rs 300 crore by promising to build them apartments in Nungambakkam near Tiruvallur.
Hi Sukumar, Fraud cases are almost everywhere across the country. Everybody is busy in making money in shortest possible time. The same case is associating with the Gundecha Builders, the Supreme Court has thrown out its appeal to challenge a Bombay high court order that held as completely fake, the builder's claim over 25 acres of prime land in Goregaon west.
Hi folks, Earlier, it was saying that builders have the money and the muscle power. Now that mindset has changed and the buyers are more aware about forums which they can approach to get justice. Recently, the district administration in Gurgaon has formed the Gurgaon Arbitration Council to sort out pending real estate disputes in a fast track manner.
Now, you can raise your voice and file a criminal cases against the builder for compensation and all.
In India, consumers can approach auditors registered with the Quality Council of India for an inspection to determine if materials used in the construction meet all safety norms.
Right Priya, Property verification is very simple. To verify the history of the property, you can check the updated current 7/12 extract of the property duly issued by the office of local Talathi.
Through the 7/12 extract you can come to know the name / names of the owner / owners, the Hissa (share) of the owner, the property Gat Number or the Survey Number, if any other person or entity does have any right in the property then it is mentioned in the column of the other rights in the 7/12 extract, and all the mutations numbers of the past transactions made in relation of the same property.
Hi Rakshit, I want to know that the same checklist required for resale property or there are few other documents that a buyer should ask for?
I heard that documents such as sale agreement, sale deed, mother deed and tax paid receipts by the builder on total saleable area are to be obtained at the time of property registration, in case of under-construction property. What is your view?
That is correct Rakshit. The 7/12 extract is a very important tool as it provides all the important information and history of the property. Clarity of the past transactions will help provide clear information about the transfer of the property.
@Anurag those documents are to be obtained at the time of registering the property. Some other documents to keep in mind for an under-construction property are: 1) Write to the development authority and check the land use certificate to ensure that the property you plan to purchase is in the residential zone. 2) Construction Clearances 3) Building Plan/ Layout Approval 4) Master Plan of the Area 5) NOC and other Clearances 5) Booking Form, Allotment Letter and Builder Buyer Agreement.
Do you have any experience sir? Plz share with me. What are the right way to choose a good property? Which are the things one should keep in mind while buying a property?
I agree with Sonya. The negligence on the part of the buyer as well as the property owner. There is also a possibility of having bought at a higher price and then being forced to sell at a lower price in a depressed market. However, the danger in delaying an investment too long is two-fold. The first is that you may lose out on the best properties and the second is that the market may pick up ahead of one'es predictions which means that the lower rates may no longer be available.

Property verification is very simple. To verify the history of the property, you can check the updated current 7/12 extract of the property duly issued by the office of local Talathi.
Through the 7/12 extract you can come to know the name / names of the owner / owners, the Hissa (share) of the owner, the property Gat Number or the Survey Number, if any other person or entity does have any right in the property then it is mentioned in the column of the other rights in the 7/12 extract, and all the mutations (Ferfar) numbers of the past transactions made in relation of the same property.
And one can get those mutation records and past transaction documents from the regional record office of the Sub registrar. He/She can even get the copy of those documents by paying the charges specified by the government.
Yes, and keep in mind that the documents which are duly registrar in the office of the Sub registrar only come under the Government records and with their mutation number. So, it is necessary to verify all those documents mentioned in the mutations of the property you are planning to purchase.
One more thing i would like to mentioned here that if the property is reserved or acquired or to be acquired by the Municipal Corporation for some specific reason, then the use of the land for some other purpose is illegal.
And my suggestion to all the property owners that If you are already an owner of a property, it is very-very necessary to have regular check on the legal status of your asset. You can do it by keeping fresh records of the property related papers and by keeping the information about latest land and revenue related plans of the government and the local municipal authorities.
Right Giri, And if you have any doubt or any such thing that might be affecting your title on the property, it is always recommended to investigate the matter immediately by collecting all the fresh records of the property and also to issue a public notice in the local newspaper about the title of the property. You can also take help of any Legal professional in that area.
It is your duty before purchasing a property. It is very necessary to do proper legal search of the property you are willing to purchase, even though you are buying a it from a reputed brand or from any known person. Every reputed builder's projects are getting delay by 1-2 years. After all it is a matter of your hard earned money.
Hi, The basic reason behind the property being not clear title or going into litigation is because of the negligence of the buyer or the property owner. Buyers don't do a little homework before buying property. They only keep in mind what developers promise to them.
I agree with you Sonya, Buying a property is a safe investment only if the property is purchased by taking all caution while purchasing it. Buying a property is only an affair of transferring the title of the property. And it can be done only when the title or the supporting documents are clean and clear.
