CONVEYANCE DEED

CONVEYANCE DEED

In case of housing societies the builder/promoters have to ideally create deed of conveyance and hand over it to housing societies that to within 4 months after project completion. However, due to lack of knowledge many builders do not create such documents. There have been cases where builders have later on denied to create such documents and asked additional money to provide signatures on these documents. You will find all sorts of reasons for not creating the document. This results in issues for societies in future. Therefore, government has amended the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963 (MOFA) to make sure if builders run way from such responsibilities, the societies do not suffer. This amendment is called “Deemed Conveyance”. This amendment allows society owners to gain the legal rights of the land even if the builder is not willing to transfer the rights, in front of designated competent authority.

A valid conveyance deed must contain the following:

1. The actual demarcation of the property.

2. Other rights annexed to the property and its use.

3. The full chain of titles, that is, all legal rights up until the present seller.

4. The method of delivery of the property to the buyer.

5. A memo of the consideration, stating how it has been received.

6. Any further applicable terms and conditions for the full transfer of ownership rights.

Important points to consider, to ensure smooth purchase/sale of a property:

The seller is required to certify that the property is free of any legal encumbrance.

If a loan was taken against the property in question, then, the mortgage must be cleared before the deed is signed. Buyers have the option of having this checked at the local sub-registrar’s office.

The conveyance deed should state the exact date on which the property will be handed over to the buyer.

Within four months of the execution of the deed, all the original documents related to the sale of the property, need to be produced for registration before the local registrar.

The deed is required to be signed by at least two witnesses.

Advocate for Agreement and Sale Deed

Advocate for Agreement and Sale Deed

Want to purchase a Flat? If Yes, Please Be Careful so you may not fall prey to the frivilious offers by decietfull builders and developers .

While purchasing the Flat Property you should take the following care/ due diligence.

Prefer a ready to move property rather an under construction property.If property is ready to move see that if the project has any tie ups with nationalised banks, if so the project is safe to invest because bank offers assitance to a project or scheme, after due diligence.Or else first thing to do is,to get the title search done.If title is clear than go for bank loan, because banks while granting loan takes due diligence while lending financial assistance. This again will be a safety check for verification and authentication of builder as well as project, if there are any existing encumbrances on the said property.If the bank is ready to sanction loan means there is absence of encumbrances like mortgage or lease.
The next comes in the checklist, is verification with RERA.whether the builder/ scheme is registered with RERA, if so, confirm that he has not been blacklisted by the Authority.
Another thing to take into account while considering ready to move property is whether the scheme has been assigned completion certificate and occupancy certificate which validates, that it is ready to move property.
If it is under construction property before giving the token amount, check whether builder has got commencement certificate and other approvals from the public authorities like MSEB,MUNICIPAL CORPORATION or N.O.C from environmental dept.as well as fire and safety department.

WHY CONVEYANCE DEED IS AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT?

A deed is a written document or an instrument that is sealed, signed and delivered by all parties to the contract (buyer and seller). It is a contractual document that includes legally valid terms, and is enforceable in a court of law. It is mandatory that a deed should be in writing, and that both parties involved must sign the document.

There are different kinds of deeds, such as lease deeds, partnership deeds, trust deeds, gift deeds etc.

A conveyance deed is essentially one wherein the seller transfers all rights to legally own, keep and enjoy a particular asset, immovable or movable. In this case the assets under consideration are immovable, namely property.

On signing a conveyance deed, the original owner transfers all legal rights over the property in question to the buyer, against a valid consideration (usually monetary). This consideration, however, is irrelevant in the case of gift deeds, as they are based on fraternal or familial bonds.

A ‘conveyance deed’ or ‘sale deed’ implies that the seller signs a document stating that all authority and ownership of the property in question has been transferred to the buyer.

It is required to contain the following:

• Defined demarcation of the boundaries of the property
• Other rights (if applicable) annexed to the property and its use
• The chain of title i.e. all legal rights to the present seller.
• The method of delivery of the given property to the buyer.
• A memo of the consideration, stating how it has been received
• Any other terms and conditions that are applicable as far as the transfer of ownership rights are concerned.

Once the conveyance (or sale) deed has been executed on non judicial stamp paper, it needs to be registered. This can be done by presenting it at the Registrar’s office, and remittance of the registration fee. Once the registration is done, the transfer moves into the public domain. The Government obtains its revenue in the form of Stamp Duty and Registration Fees, and at this point the process of conveyance is officially over.
