Evaluating the legal standing of a property is critical. Ensure you have these documents in order.
1. Title Deed
Proves ownership of the seller.
2. Encumbrance Certificate (EC)
Certifies that the property is free from any monetary or legal liabilities.
3. Building Plan Approval
Must be sanctioned by the local municipal authority.
4. Completion and Occupancy Certificate
Essential for taking possession and securing basic amenities like water and electricity.
5. Power of Attorney (if applicable)
If buying from someone holding PoA, verify its validity.
