A written rental agreement is strongly recommended because it records the agreed rent, security deposit, tenancy duration, notice period, maintenance responsibilities, and other conditions. Follow the applicable state laws regarding stamping and registration.

You should arrange an inspection before committing to a purchase. Check the property’s condition, access roads, water and electricity supply, neighbourhood, parking, and advertised amenities. For under-construction properties, review the approved plans and construction progress.
Buyers should independently verify property ownership, title documents, approvals, and other relevant records. Do not treat an online listing as a guarantee of legal ownership, authenticity, or freedom from disputes. Consult a qualified property lawyer when necessary.
Depending on the property and transaction, review the title deed and ownership chain, applicable encumbrance records, approved building plans, completion or occupancy certificate where applicable, property tax receipts, and any required permissions. A property lawyer can identify additional documents relevant to the transaction.
The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA) establishes a regulatory framework intended to improve transparency and protect homebuyers.

An under-construction property is still being developed and may involve waiting for completion. Compare possession timelines, costs, construction risks, and applicable taxes before deciding.
A title search examines ownership records and relevant documents to assess whether the seller has the legal right to transfer the property. It can also help identify potential disputes, competing claims, or other issues. Have a qualified lawyer conduct the appropriate checks for the property and jurisdiction.
An encumbrance certificate or equivalent property record can provide information about registered transactions or encumbrances for a specified period, depending on the local system. It should not be treated as conclusive proof that a property has no legal, financial, or ownership issues.

Stamp duty and registration fees are government charges associated with property transactions. The amounts and applicable concessions vary by state, property type, transaction value, and other factors. Check the relevant state registration department for current rates and procedures.
TDS may apply depending on the transaction and the seller’s residential status. Under Section 194-IA, qualifying purchases of immovable property from a resident seller generally attract 1% TDS when the consideration or stamp duty value reaches the statutory threshold of ₹50 lakh, subject to the applicable conditions. Other provisions may apply in different circumstances. Verify the current rules with the Income Tax Department or a tax professional.

Commonly relevant documents include:
Sale deed or other ownership documents and previous title records
Identity and PAN details, as applicable
Property tax receipts
Approved building plans and completion or occupancy certificates, where applicable
Encumbrance or relevant land records

A property with an outstanding home loan may be sold, subject to the lender’s requirements and the transaction arrangements. Coordinate with the lender regarding the outstanding balance, repayment, release of the mortgage, and original documents. Ensure the payment and loan-closure process is documented.
A registered sale deed is generally a key document for transferring ownership of immovable property. The transaction should be completed through the applicable legal and registration process. An agreement to sell alone should not be treated as equivalent to a completed transfer of ownership.
Inherited property may be sold once the seller’s entitlement and the required documentation are established. Depending on the circumstances, relevant documents may include a will, succession or legal-heir records, previous title documents, probate where required, and consent or participation from other entitled owners.
Jointly owned property can generally be sold with the participation or legally valid authorisation of all parties whose consent or signatures are required. Review the title documents and ownership shares before entering into a sale agreement.

Tax rules can change, so consult the current Income Tax Department guidance or a tax professional before calculating your liability.
The allocation of these expenses should be clearly agreed upon by the parties and recorded in the transaction documents, subject to applicable law. In many transactions, the buyer pays the main stamp duty and registration charges, but the precise arrangement can vary.
Tax deducted at source (TDS) may apply to a property sale. The applicable provisions depend on factors including the transaction date, consideration, stamp duty value, and the seller’s tax residency. Confirm who must deduct and deposit the tax, and ensure the transaction is reported correctly.
You may agree to a token amount or advance payment as part of a property transaction. Before accepting it, put the amount, payment method, adjustment against the final price, deadlines, refund conditions, and consequences of cancellation in writing. Verify the buyer and retain payment records.
Possession should be handed over according to the agreed terms and applicable legal requirements. Confirm receipt of the agreed payment, complete the necessary documentation, record meter readings where relevant, and document the handover of keys and possession.
Verify the buyer’s identity and payment arrangements. Confirm that funds have actually cleared rather than relying on screenshots or payment promises. Do not sign blank documents, disclose sensitive financial information unnecessarily, or hand over possession without satisfying the agreed conditions.
Listing a property can help present it to prospective buyers, but a sale is not guaranteed. The outcome depends on factors such as price, location, demand, property condition, listing quality, and buyer interest.
