Property Documents

Hi,

Thank you for asking the question

Caveat Emptor means Let the Buyer Beware , As you are going to buy a property  things you  have to check ie;

1. It should not be the disputed property.

2. There is not any liability attatched towards it 

As per your question , Owner of the very property will take the token money as a (security) for providing  you the documents regarding it . But, you have to check either he is not  going to fraud you after getting the money.

I would suggest you to hire a Professional Lawyer  who is specialized in that.

Hope this will help you 

Best regards

Akshay

engage a local counsel and ask him to check for the property chain, mutation, municipal record, encumbrance, search report, etc 

Agreed with the advise of Mr. Akshay ji.  And obtain EC and a copy of mother Document from the SRO concerned on the property intended to purchase.  Also obtain ROR-IB from E-Seva centre.  

Before making any payment (such as token money) you must ensure marketable title of the property being purchased.

Consult a local prudent lawyer for better appreciation of facts/documents, professional guidance and necessary proceeding.
