Hello,

1) The new owner has the right over the original Agreement Copy and you can hand it over to him at the time of the new Sale Agreement you will enter into with him.(after the registration).

2) It is advisable to hand over all the originals to the buyer after registration and after receipt of all the payments whichever comes later.

3) Once the payment is received in final you may hand over possession. The cheque can clear in two days if it is a local cheque. You can tell the buyer that the possession shall be handed over as soon as the the cheques are realized.Alternately let him pay by a DD or a bank transfer.

4) It is a matter of mutual understanding where people may transact part payment in cash to avoid tax liabilities.

5) As far as possible put down all terms with clarity in writing about the entire transaction as to when and how and who will perform what and get the document vetted by a lawyer who deals with property related matters.

Dear Client,

At the time of Sale, all the original chain of documents mean to deliver to new buyer, Keep copies with u.

After full consideration paid.

Can handover possession anytime, after receiving full payment. Let the cheque en cash first.

No precautions required except make sure, full payment shall receive before possession hand over.

1. As soon as you sale the property to a buyer then the buyer will get a new sale deed and the same will be retained by him, you may thereafter handover the old documents to him.

2. After realisation of the payment.

3. As and when you receive the entire payment, give the possession to the buyer.

4. It is good if you have denied the cash payment.

5. Just that do not give the possession without getting the entire consideration.

In response to your Questions:

1) All original documents of the flat are title documents which have to be retained by the owner of the flat so they pass from owner to owner.

2) Original Documents should be handed over along with transfer forms of the Society and possession once you have received the entire consideration.

3) If the buyer is not taking a loan but shall be paying from his personal sources, execute and register only on receipt of total payment, insist on a Demand draft or NEFT.

3. TO clear loan and obtain Bank NOC

3. Sale Deed

4. Possession Letter

1. Have you deposited agreement copy or sale deed with the lending bank? After selling the you shall have to enter in to a tripartite agreement with the bank and then sell the mortgaged property to the buyer with bank's consent and register the sale deed in his favour. Under such circumstances the payment for the balance outstanding can be made by the buyer to the bank to enable the bank to return the original title deed of yours to you which you can handover to the buyer at the time of registration of your sale deed in his favour.

2. Your buyer can make two sets of payment. One is your outstanding loan amount to be paid directly to the bank and the balance amount is to be paid to you. After getting the full payment, the bank will return your original deed to you which you can hand over to the buyer while registering your sale deed in his favour.

3. You can handover the flat after the full payments made to the bank and yourself are realised and therefater register the said property in his name.

4. Now a days, it will be risky to collect 10% of the total sale proceeds which is expected to be huge in amount and should be avoided.

5. Engage a lawyer having expertise in this field top monitor the steps to be taken by you in this regard. Do not pass on possession of the property without the sale proceed is credited to your account and your loan account is cleared by the buyer.

What is old agreement?

If there is no registered sale deed in your name then you cannot sell the property.

Now you being the seller, it becomes your duty to acquire title to the property until you cannot sell the property.

The execution of Registered sale deed itself should be subject to realisation of consideration amount.

It should be subject to realisation.

You will get the original agreement once you repay the loan. You have to give it to the buyer once you have the registered sale deed with him after receipt of all payments. You should handover the same only after receipt of final payment. Don't believe in cheque payments other then bank loan cheque. Handover the possibility only after realisation of the cheque.

1) MOU woukd be binding upon parties

2) administrative delays like clearing of cheque dies not amount to default

3) bank would issue NOC only after its dues are cleared

4) bank would not issue NOC till original documents are received

1. Notarised MOU is a form of a notarised agreement and has the same weightage carried by an agreement. duly notarised.

2. Default for what? Any failure to may dues on the specified day will be called default in making payment. Administrative delay, like cheque clearing, getting document from bank etc will be cosidered as the reasons forwarded by the defaulter for failing to pay on time which may or may not accept by the lending Bank as valid ground.

3. Bank NOC means No Objection Certificate issued by the Bank for a particular purpose. If payment is assured to be made directly to the Bank by the prospective buyer or pays the same in advance, then the lending bank might issue NOC to the borrower/Mortgagor to sell his mortgaged property.

4. Bank can issue NOC if it receives full payment of its dues and at that time you should collect 'No Due' certificate from the lending bank in connection with your loan account. Thereafter you can sell your mortgaged property on the ground that there is no loan left to create mortgage there upon. However, much before settling the loan amount, bank should be negotiated with and the title deed deposited with the bank should be traced out and kept at the branch for handing over. The DD for clearing the loan should be handed over while taking the original title deed across the table.

1. The notarised MOU is not enforceable in court of law;

2. The reasonable delay for genuine reasons can always be accepted as valid excuse.

3. If there is a loan pending with the bank in this regard and the loan has not been fully discharged or the clearance is awaited, then the bank may give NOC as an interim relief.

4. The registration cannot be done without clearance from bank.

You may put pressure from bank to give clearance by an endorsement of loan discharged in full and there is no due
