Questions
Legal & Documentation — common questions
What is a title search?
A solicitor traces the property's chain of ownership back over a period of years to confirm that the seller can legally sell it and that there is no undisclosed mortgage, dispute or claim on it. You should receive a written opinion, not just a verbal reassurance.
Who pays stamp duty and registration in Mumbai?
Normally the buyer. Both are paid before the agreement is registered at the sub-registrar's office. We calculate the amounts for your specific transaction and coordinate payment and registration.
What happens at registration?
The buyer and seller, or their power-of-attorney holders, sign the agreement before the sub-registrar with witnesses, and identity and biometrics are recorded. Once registered, the agreement is the legal record of the sale.
What is RERA, and why does it matter to me?
RERA is the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act. Projects above a certain size must register with MahaRERA, which publishes the developer's approvals, plans and committed possession dates on a public portal. It gives you a verifiable source of truth and a route to complain if commitments are broken. Always check the registration number yourself on the MahaRERA site — we will give you the number and show you where to look.
How do I verify a property's title before buying?
A title search traces ownership back over a period of years to confirm the seller can legally sell, and that the property carries no undisclosed mortgage, litigation or encumbrance. For society flats you also want the share certificate, the society's no-objection certificate, and confirmation that maintenance dues are clear. We coordinate this with a solicitor as standard — it is not an optional extra.
