Hello everyone,
I’m in the process of purchasing a 50% undivided share in a commercial property in Karnataka. The current owner holds the entire property in his name, with a registered sale deed.
I have a few questions and would appreciate your expert guidance:
Is it legally permissible to register a sale deed for a 50% undivided share in such a property?
Post-registration, will both co-owners (the seller and I) be reflected in the Encumbrance Certificate (EC)?
One of the lawyers I consulted mentioned that the Kaveri online portal does not allow entering two owners for the same property. Is that accurate, or is there a way around it when it comes to co-ownership or tenancy in common?
If tenancy in common is valid and recognized in Karnataka (as per Section 44 of the Transfer of Property Act), what key legal or procedural aspects should I ensure from the buyer’s perspective?
Thanks in advance for your time and inputs.
