Buying property is one of the biggest financial decisions in India — and skipping legal due diligence can lead to court battles, financial loss, fraud, and ownership disputes.

This report highlights 13 critical documents every homebuyer MUST verify before purchasing real estate in India.

Whether you're buying a flat in Gurgaon, a builder floor in Delhi, or a plot in Noida, these legal documents protect your ownership, financial security, and peace of mind.

Before You Buy Property — Do Not Skip These Legal Checks

✅ 1. Title Deed

Proof of true ownership of the property. Ensure it is clear, marketable, and legally transferable.

✅ 2. Sale Deed

The core legal document that transfers ownership from seller to buyer. Must be properly stamped & registered.

✅ 3. Mother Deed

Historical ownership chain document. Confirms that the title has passed legally over time.

✅ 4. Encumbrance Certificate

Shows no legal dues, mortgages, or loan liabilities on the property.

✅ 5. Khata/Mutation Certificate

Municipal record of property ownership for tax and civic purposes.

✅ 6. Approved Building Plan

Verifies the building or project has legal construction approval from authorities.

✅ 7. Occupancy Certificate (OC)

Issued by competent authority confirming the building is safe to occupy.

✅ 8. Completion Certificate

Confirms that construction followed approved plans & local regulations.

✅ 9. Sale Agreement

Agreement between buyer & seller with price, terms, timeline, and conditions.

✅ 10. GST Receipts (if applicable)

For under-construction property purchases subject to GST.

✅ 11. RERA Registration Certificate

Ensures the project is registered under RERA (mandatory for most projects).

✅ 12. Property Tax Receipts

Shows that previous owner paid all dues — avoids future liability.

✅ 13. NOC Certificates

Includes required NOCs from environmental, fire, utility, and other authorities depending on project type.

13 Must-Check Property Documents for Safe Buying

Checking these safeguards helps you avoid:

• Fraudulent property deals

• Illegal construction issues

• Builder disputes & litigation

• Hidden loan mortgages

• Possession & occupancy problems

Legal due diligence protects your lifetime investment and future resale value.

Why These Documents Matter

• Plot + colony approvals

• Urban expansion zones

Always verify government approvals, RERA status, and municipal documentation carefully.
