Unregistered sale deed

Unregistered Sale deed can not pass valid title.

Everything has gone on goodfaith. Taking too much risk may cause problems late.For transacting immovble properties it is always better to go in for registered documents.In you case,get the document registered befor completing the transaction in full. Though the bank has issued loan on unregistered deed, it will definitely insist on registered documents in your name.

.

Thanks for your reply.

I have decided to to complete the sale only on registered sale deed. My registered agreement to sale ends on next month. What can I do to ask the seller to register the sale deed before that? Like my case, most Banks in my city provide loan on Registered agreement to sale with full payment of stamp duty. What are my leagal options if seller now refuses to do sale deed (can he legally refuse this)? I have got the cheque from bank of remaining payment and already started paying interest on loan. 

I will appreciate your openion on this.

Dear Samazdar, 

                               It is better to consult a lawyer with all your documents in hand befor proceeding further

unregistered sale deed does not carry any sanctity.

Hi, Just wanted to clear few points. I do have a Registered agreemnet to sale with full stamp duty paid.  I also have a check of final payment (obtained by bank loan) ready for the seller.

The sellar is asking to delay registering the sale deed as he want to delay paying capitol gain tax to next financial year. He has offered to give payment receipt for full payment, possesion on stamp paper and possession of actual property along with sign on all transfer document like society share certificate, electric meter, property tax etc. He is also willing to sign a sale deed but want to register the same in first week of April as the date of registraion will be considered for capital tax gain purpose.

Can the seller in future refuse to register the sale deed (all stamp duty already paid, so this will be done on Rs. 100 stamp paper)?

What is my legal stand on the property if seller refuses to register (I will have full payment receipt, registered agreement to sale, possession, share etc)?

If the seller refuses to get the property registered in your favour, the only option you have is to issue him a legal notice for getting the property registered in your favour and then if he does not, file a suit for specific performance under Specific Relief Act. 

Thanks all for replaying.

Is there any chance the seller can refuse to complete the deal. What could be the end result of legal battel. I am more interested in buying the flat and not in getting any compensation due to refusal by seller. Thanks.

I suggest you should post a letter to the seller stating that you are willing to pay the balance amount within  31st March,2010 subject to the condition that both both execution & registration  of sale deed and payment of the remaining portion of money are done simultaneously on the same day. If the Seller refuses to accept the same due to his own problems, the letter would serve as testimony that you are not violating the registered Agreement. After 31.3.10, I think there would not be any problem in making payment and registering the sale deed on the same day.
