Information about the formalities involved in buying and selling a home



If you are planning to buy a new home through a prominent builder, the builder would guide you through the process of buying home loans and other legal formalities involved in the registration process. Many projects are coming up in almost all the cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, etc. which are affordable to the home buyers. But if you are going to buy a home which is available for resale or if you are planning to sell your home, then you need to consider a few important aspects.

Use of online marketing strategies


            Nowadays many people are depending on website listings for buying and selling their homes, for, internet plays an important role in real estate these days. You can even take a virtual walkthrough of your home as a marketing strategy so that you sell your home easily.

Price Negotiations


            Fixing the price of a home is an important aspect that helps in easy completion of the deal. The buyer and seller can enter into negotiations themselves or through the agents in the real estate market to ensure a fair deal is reached. At the same time, if the price fixed is too high or too low from either side would take lot of time in closing the deal.

Entering into agreement


            Generally in India, the home buyers and sellers enter into agreement or contract which is duly signed by both the buyer and the seller for having entered into an agreement for sale. The parties generally consult a lawyer who prepares the contract which contains the cost that is fixed for the home under sale, advance amount paid during the agreement by the buyer to the seller, time duration agreed for the deal to get over, loss which the parties would incur if they do not adhere to the time schedules, etc.

Registration Process


            First of all, sale deed needs to be prepared by a licensed document writer after consulting with the lawyer regarding the legal aspects involved in the sale. The buyer and the seller need to register the new sale deed in the sub-registrar office. The registration process requires all the relevant documents like tax documents, previous home documents, sale deed, etc. to be submitted before the registration of the new sale deed takes place.

If the property for sale is a single ownership property, then the process would be simple. But, if the property belongs to more than one person, then power of attorney may be given to one person who can decide on the property. In case of closing the deal with joint properties, it is required that all the owners of the property have to sign the deal.

            Both the buyer and the seller need to take care of the cost involved in the sale process like the stamp duty payment, lawyer’s payment, document writer’s payment, and other miscellaneous payments involved. Both the buyer and seller need to sign in the sale deed along with the witnesses of the sale deed.
