Step 1: Title Verification and Due Diligence
Initially, you need to ensure that the title of the property is clear. This is one of the most significant steps being carried out under property paperwork. At Builders and Brokers, we cross-verify the ownership documents meticulously to see that the owner of the property is the seller as per the law.
- Mother Deed / Title Deed: This document shows the chain of ownership of the property.
- Encumbrance Certificate: Confirms that there are no legal dues or claims against the property.
- Survey Plan and Records of Rights (RoR): Most important in Goa, where land title legislation tends to get complex.
This is the foundation of property paperwork, and skipping this can lead to legal complications down the line.
Step 2: Agreement to Sell
After the title has been agreed upon, we help you draft an agreement to sell. It’s a crucial part of the paperwork needed to buy a house because it documents the terms and conditions of sale agreed upon between both parties.
The agreement will typically include:
- Sale price
- Payment schedule
- Possession date
- Legal liability of both buyer and seller
We ensure at Builders and Brokers that the contract is well within legal boundaries and protects your interest.
Step 3: Stamp Duty and Registration
Here your investment becomes legal. Paying the stamp duty and getting the property registered in your name is a must.
- Stamp Duty: In Goa, this would typically be between 3% and 7% based on the value of the property.
- Registration fees: usually about 1% of the value of the property.
The closing paperwork for a house includes registration documents, and we’ll make sure they are submitted correctly and on time.
Step 4: Execution of Sale Deed
The sale deed is the most critical legal document in the paperwork for buying a house in Goa. This is what formally transfers ownership of the property from the buyer to the seller.
We at Builders and Brokers:
- Make sure that the Sale Deed is prepared correctly
- Scrutinize all clauses
- Get its execution and registration done at the sub-registrar’s office
Your ownership isn’t legally proven without a validly executed sale deed, so this step is necessary.
Step 5: Property Mutation
Once the sale deed is registered, we help you file for mutation of the property. This updates the information at the municipality and transfers the property tax records to your name. This is a part of property management paperwork and serves to pay property taxes as well as claim legal ownership.
Mutation is also useful when you want to resell the property in the future so that there are no problems with the legal process.
Step 6: Housing Society NOC (if applicable)
If you are buying an apartment or flat in a housing society or apartment complex, you will need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the society. We guide you through this step to ensure that no outstanding dues or legal proceedings are pending against the property that could affect your ownership.
Step 7: Home Loan Paperwork (Optional)
If you are taking a home loan, the bank will also have some documents that have to be filled out. We have the tie-ups with the financial institutions for this and see that the loan is not delayed in getting approved.
This step involves:
- Property valuation reports
- Legal attestation of documents
- Submission of documents needed for the purchase of a house
We have bank tie-ups with top banks so that this can be easily done at Builders and Brokers.
Step 8: Processing Rental Property Documents (Optional)
Want to rent out your property? We assist with rental property paperwork as well! From drawing up the rental agreement to getting it registered, we do it all when it comes to paperwork needed for property rental in India.
Our assistance includes:
- Drawal and registration of rental agreements
- Tenant verification
