A) Regarding purchase of a Villa in a Gated Communicty, ask for all the title documents, approvals, NOC's from statutory authorities, Commencement Certificate and Occupancy Certificate, conversion certificate, change of land use certificate, Sanctioned building plan-Master copy, this apart, find out if the project has received the approvals from any nationalized bank/s or financial institutions. whether the project is BMRDA approved and if the plots have E-Katha.

b) In your case, you have let out the shop premises on rent (for a block period of 20 years), yours is permissive possession with rental agreement. In cases where there is no agreement and the occupant is undisturbed for a continous period of 12 years or more, he can claim adverse possession. Not in your case. Hope the rents are being paid timely by the company. In case of default do not hesitate to issue a written notice (yourself) to pay the dues within time. do not wait for more than 2 months to issue such a reminder.

1) check whether original documents of title are with seller 

2) check whether property taxes have been paid till date

you need to check the registered sale deed for title. You can inquire about the encumbrance if any on the said property by checking encumbrances on the same in the office of sub registrar. for further safety you can seek indemnity bond from the seller.

Hi

No that company cannot claim your shop for ownership. 

Yes you will be the permanent owner in the gated society. 

Just confirm the society registration documents before buying the villa there. 

If you are buying the villa from some owner and not the society directly then confirm the ownership title of the property. 

Thanks

Copy of every single document from the origin of property and non encumbrance certificate.

Yes absolute owner. 

However longer the tenancy is, your title is intact.

1. Ask them to provide me a copy of chain of title deed.   Get the same verified from local lawyer with original documents.   Ask them to show the originals to your lawyer.

2. Yes, however go through the buyer agreement also and get it read over from your lawyer.

3.  After 20 years, you would remain owner.   The company cannot claim their right over it after 12 years.   12 years are for those properties where there is no owner of the property is traceable and the occupant is claiming  his right only on the basis of possession for the last more than 12 years.   

I.

1. Mother Deed.

2. Encumbrance Certificate.

3. If the project is developed by the builder on someone else's property, then Joint Development Agreement and POA.

4. Conversion of land from agricultural status to non-agricultural residential status, if earlier the land was in agricultural status.

5. Sanctioned Plan from the statutory authority.

4. Khata of the property.

5. Latest tax paid receipt, etc.

Iii. Company which has taken your property on rent since 20 years cannot claim the property as it's own if there is a registered rental agreement between you and the Company.

1. you can ask for the property title, search report, previous chain of sale deed, mutation, approved map, etc,

better to consult a local lawyer

2. once the sale deed is registered in your favour, you will become an owner

3. if the rent agreement is executed and registered and you are getting the rent, then the company is mere a TENANT

Dear Sir,

You are suggested to check title documents, documents related encumbrances, loan etc. After due registration and getting the occupancy certificate, you will be the permanent owner without any hassle. In case of rent, you are suggested to get the rent/lease deed renewed periodically as required and have a definite clause "that tenant/lessee shall not claim any ownership or rights on property due to any reason whatsover"

Dear Sir,

My answers are as follows:

1q) I'm planning to purchase a property like a villa in a gated community, 
what documents should I ask for to verify?

Ans: You just ask them to give booklet containing all the relating documents then 
ask the legal expert to verify and he will suggest accordingly. Many Villas are contracted 
on Revenue Lands without conversion.



2q) Will I be a permanent owner when I'm buying in 
such communities such as flats or gated community 
because they mentioned the type of ownership as freehold

Ans: Normally the answer is yes. You have to get change the entire property
in your name with land and buildings.


3q) I have given a shop on rent/lease ( for the period of 20years)
 to a big company will there be any chances ( or rule in favor to the company ) 
for the company to claim the property as theirs If I don't 
claim in the duration of 12 years

Ans: It must be registered then you will have no problem. It get authenticated resolution
from the company.

A. You will get set of documents legal file towards project or respective survey number which villa carved out of the same once you booked the Villa if the project is ongoing project. On verification of project or relevant survey number documents along with projects approval, NOCs etc,  Owners will be asked more documents in the event of any issues found for more clarity. 

B. In any project, two crucial part viz,

   1. Legal documents relating to Land which your Villa formed and constructions happened.

   2. Legal documents relating to Constructions permission, plan approval, conversion, NOCs etc.,

C. Once your property documents are satisfied as per your legal counsel, on execution of Sale Deed in your favor, you will become absolute owner of the property subject to compliance of Association Bye Laws and Rules & Regulation.  You have to check the EC as to whether the project has any mortgage loan to complete the construction and cleared the same before handing over the possession of the property?

D. Law of Adverse possession i.e 12 years does not apply to your rented property. I hope you rented the premises by execution of Lease Deed by paying sufficient stamp duty and registered the same before Sub Registrar office. Therefore, the Company cannot claim the rented premises. 

As far as the property title verification is concerned, you need to get clarify from the property lawyer. 

1. Before purchasing the said property, you should take a photocopy of the sale deed including previous chains  and check properly, whether the seller is a rightful owner of the said property and confirm the same from the office of registrar as well. 

- Collect latest property tax receipts, water- electricity paid up bills,

- Further collect information relating to the freehold right from the competent authority , and if possible , take help from a local lawyer as well. 

-  And also documents relating to Constructions permission, plan approval, conversion, NOCs etc.

2. Under a Freehold property, the owner of such a property has the right to use it for any purpose, in accordance with the regulations of where it is located.

- Hence, your ownership will be permanent , and you will have all right to use the same as per your wish , and further for selling the same , you need not to obtain any legal approval from any authority. 

3. If the Lease deed is properly stamped & registered , and the proper clauses are mentioned regarding the tenancy, then no-one can challenge your ownership, and further Law of Adverse possession of 12 years not applied in your case. 

1. You should ask owner to provide copy of sales deed, NOC from society for transfer of ownership and encumbrance certificate of property.

2. Yes you will be permanent owner of the property. 

3. No there will be no chance of company claiming ownership of property if you have leave and licence or rent agreement with company.

before buying

1) Copy of Bye laws of society, Title flow of your vendor alongwith original title deeds.

2) Once the same is transfer by getting the same registered in concerned sub registrar by paying requisite stamp duty, you will be the owner.

3) No, the rent / lease deed is enough, wherein, the property is given on rent / lease for 20 years. 

Your apprehension of not claiming for 12 years does not have any impact on your rent /lease, it does not apply to you. 

The said concept is called "Adverse possession".  In your case it is clear rent / lease for 20 years.
