What is Conveyance Deed?

What is Conveyance Deed?

A generic term for any written document which transfers/conveys real estate property or real property interests from one party to another.

If someone willingly transfers their legal rights, title, interest and ownership of the property to another party they would need to create a document which transfers this right. Such a document is called “Deed of Conveyance”.

Now 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.

In most of the cases people believe that a Purchase Agreement is the final document they need to own. However, a mere purchase agreement does not pass on the developer’s rights on the land to the society. Societies need to make sure they have the complete right to the land, and mere society registration and formation does not provide those rights.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVEYANCE AND DEEMED CONVEYANCE

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONVEYANCE AND DEEMED CONVEYANCE

Conveyance –

A generic term for any written document which transfers (conveys) real estate property or real property interests from one party to another.

So by the above definition its very clear that if someone willingly transfers their legal right of the property to another party they would need to create a document which transfers this right. Such a document is called Deed of conveyance.

The important point here is – Willingly. Now 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.

Deemed Conveyance – The Promoter (Builder/ Developer) is legally required to convey the land and the building within 4 months of formation to the society or any legal body of the flat purchasers. However, it has been the experience that many promoters (Builders/Developers) have not conveyed the land and building to the legal bodies. Therefore, government has amended the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963 (MOFA) and provided for the deemed conveyance in favor of the legal bodies. Under the provision, deemed conveyance means after the expiry of 4 months of formation of the legal body, the land and building is deemed to have been conveyed to the legal body and to bring the same in the revenue record, Competent Authority has been designated who will hear the parties on the basis of applications received from the aggrieved party and transfers the title in favor of the legal body by passing the necessary order and deemed conveyance certificate and appoint an authorized officer to execute the conveyance deed in favor of the society and execute on behalf of non-co-operative builder or the land owner. Getting the title of land and building by adopting the above procedure is known as deemed conveyance.

Advocate for property transfer

Advocate for property transfer

DUE DILIGENCE TO BE DONE WHILE PURCHASING A PROPERTY

First comes in the checklist is the Zone.Check it whether the property comes into the “R” OR “NON-AGRICULTURE” zone because if the the property is in non residential or non agriculture zone like green zone etc.you may not get approvals from authorities like MC for commencement of construction or if you get permission for construction in other zone, than R zone, the F.S.I granted for other zones is comparatively less.
The second must thing to do is “TITLE SEARCH”.
Title search is must to do, but not enough, to ensure the property is without encumbrances,then what?
Then the most important thing to be done after the title search is PUBLIC NOTICE.Public notice is meant for inviting any objections or claims regarding the property,this will make you aware if the land owner is playing double and has sold the same plot to somebody else also and if within the desired period no objections/claims are raised, you can move on.
Next if the Landowner is handing over immediate possession go for a registered sale deed.
If the Landowner has promised, future possession, its better to go with agreement to sale and the consideration to be paid in part and the payment should be done through the negotiable instrument like Cheque/D.D or bank transfer NEFT/RTGS .In no case you should go for Cash transaction, There are likely chances of deciet or fraud in Cash transaction.
After a registered sale deed get the mutation entry done.see that your name has been arrived on the property card.
Above are the general precautions to be taken.
