Check the sale deed of the property as it is the most important document in the chain of title. Also see that all requisite sanctions were obtained by the builder as no one can convey a title better than his own title. If the title of the present owner is defective he will pass a defective title to you. Engage a local lawyer in the process.

Buying a resale property is quite advantageous- no project delays, ready-to-move-in property and no service tax/VAT burden.

Before buying a resale property that is quite old and attracts additional maintenance charges by the society, one should meet the society’s office bearer to know more about it.

A buyer of a resale property should consider the parking space, plumbing, electricals etc.

A resale property might miss out on the contemporary features, specifications and amenities.
