Lost property document
1983 - Builder to First buyer - Agreement lost but have Xerox copy
1993 - First buyer to second buyer - agreement made but was not registered in 1993 and in 2013 stampduty was paid. still agreement is not registered
2015 - Second buyer to thrird buyer (Myself) buying the property.
Second seller have given ad in news paper about loss of document, FIR logged and also title report done for last 30 years. advocate who initiated title report given clear title report.
HDFC Bank also agreed to provide loan but need indeminity bond, format mentioned below.
My queries:-
1) sirname in advertisement is having spelling mistake for instance actual sirname: malvadkar. mentioned as mahadkar. what is the impact of this? same is the case in agreement between first seller and second buyer.
2) what needs to be done to make this deal in our favour and secure?
Note:- Agreement between first buyer and builder is not registered and hence true copy is not possible.
(This draft to be modified suitably in cases where previous chain of documents is not submitted by the borrower to HDFC. To be executed on Rs.200 non-judicial stamp paper in the State of Maharashtra)
