Checklists of Property Documents that you need to hand over to the buyer before you sell your house

One of the mandatory and crucial steps at the time of selling apartments is essentially the checklist of property documents that needs to be kept handy. As you transfer your house into another owner’s hands these documents also needs to be transferred to them.

It is not the case with Thrissur alone, but for a matter of fact, in every other Indian state, the document verification process is one of the grilled up tasks that complicates the process of selling flats or apartments as the government emphasizes a strictly legal, statutory and regulatory property transaction strategy.

As per certain researches and statistical surveys, it is quite clear that around 80% of the sellers are negligent of the importance of getting all the property documents verified and are left in the dark, which actually delays the sale process when they plan to sell. Buyers have done their part of research when they come to buy the flat from you. You need to be prepared to produce these documents whenever buyers demand to make the selling process smoother.
But most of the time both the buyers and sellers have minimal information on the importance of getting the property documents verified. So, there are certain things that buyers and sellers need to know before they plan to sell or buy a house.
 We have decided to help you with the property transaction process by sharing the checklist of property documents – Part I that needs to be handed over to the buyer regardless of whether you are selling 1 BHK or 3BHK apartments in Thrissur:

1. Title Deed / Conveyance Deed/ Mother Deed/ Sale Deed:
Conveyance Deed or Sale Deed forms the major legal property document that marks the evidence of sale as well as indicates the transfer of ownership of property from the seller to the buyer. Also, it is one of the crucially important documents that is essential for resale by the buyer in future proving his ownership over the property. A sales deed acts as per the sale agreement which is drafted according to the terms and conditions of property transaction as agreed by the seller and the buyer. Once the sale agreement is executed, instantly you can proceed with the execution of the sale deed.
No matter whether you own a 1 BHK or 3BHK apartments in Thrissur you need to mandatorily get the Sale Deed registered from the Sub Registrar office that comes under the jurisdiction of the area in which the property is located and hand it over to the buyer.
Once it is handed over to the buyer they have got only 4 months of time to get the Sale Deed registered from the date of execution or else it is liable to be fined or it becomes invalid.
It is mandatory to produce all previous Sale Deeds in original during:
Property Purchase
Home Loan

2. RTC Extracts:
It is mandatory to define the “Title of the land” to identify whether the property was constructed on the converted land. For instance, it provides information on establishing “whether the land that was previously used for agricultural purposes has been transformed into commercial one”. Generally, RTC Extracts are issued by the Village Accountants.
All the information related to the land that includes the land area extent with the survey number or sub-survey number, the extent of Kharab land, the names of the present and previous owners, their corresponding holdings and also the names of the tenants are contained in RTC extracts. Also, it contains other relevant details like the kind of soil/crop, any previous mortgages that was made, charges exercised on the properties contained on the land, the land’s status that implies whether it is Inam land or not, in case of land conversion the exact date (situations in which agricultural land is converted for non-agricultural usage) & the conversion order number, and also any related references to mutants or inheritance with proof certificates that indicates the transfer of property ownership, etc.
It is not a mandatory document and there is no need to produce it in original though it needs to be produced when you are selling your house.

3. Khata Certificate and Extracts
Khata is a Hindi word that originally means “account” though it might be known in different names across different states. With regard to the property transaction, Khata represents the account of a person who holds property in the city. Khata indicated in this context are of two types: the Khata Certificate and the Khata Extract. Khata certificate serves 2 main purposes:
Registration of a new property
Transfer of a property

This approval is provided by the Assistant Revenue Officer of the respective area.
The account is entered in the records maintained by the local municipal committee which indirectly confirms that the apartments or flats have been constructed according to the approved plan.
It is mandatory to obtain a Khata Certificate for the registration of your new apartment after completing the tax payment process. The Khata Certificate is issued stating that a person “X” is the owner of a property No “N”. This certificate is mandatory when you apply for:
Water & or electricity connection
Trading and building license.
Also, the Khata certificate that is issued will be handed either to the owner or his immediate family members.
Khata Extract as the name suggests extracts information such as the name, size of the apartment, use of the apartment (commercial or residential purpose), annual value and also when it was last assessed from an assessment register and is mandatory while applying for trade license and also when you buy apartments or flats in Thrissur.
It is mandatory to produce it in original during:
Property Purchase
Home Loan

4. Mutation Register Extracts
Again the Mutation Register Extracts is required to define the “Title of the land” whether the property is located on converted land as in #2. It is usually issued either by the Tahsildar or by the Village Accountant. It provides access to the extracts from a mutation register or an inheritance certificate that contains the details of the previous owner, present owner, mode of acquisition of the property, the total extent of the property and also an order stating that the Khata account of the property was transferred into the ownership of the present owner, that is in your name. It is not mandatory to produce it in original though it might be needed at the time of property sale.
