Car parking registration regularisations
Dear Sir,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your legal advice regarding a recent transaction I made concerning the purchase of a covered parking space from a builder. The transaction was completed via a cash payment, and I was issued a parking allotment letter that provides details of the space, including the area. However, the allotment is not mentioned in the original property agreement or sale deed.
Given this situation, I would like to understand the legal options available to me to formally register or legalize the parking allotment. Specifically, I seek guidance on the following aspects:
1. Incorporation into the Sale Deed: As the parking allotment is not referenced in my property’s sale deed, would it be possible to amend or execute a supplementary agreement to incorporate this allotment into the existing legal documentation? If so, what steps are required to ensure its legal enforceability?
2. Stamp Duty and Registration: I would also like to inquire about the applicability of stamp duty and registration charges for parking space allotments. Are there any specific regulations or processes in place for registering a parking space separate from the property itself?
3. Compliance with Local Laws: Since the legal recognition of parking spaces often varies by jurisdiction, I would appreciate your advice on any local laws or municipal regulations that must be complied with to formalize this transaction. Is there a specific procedure to approach local authorities or the housing society to officially recognize the parking space?
4. Dispute Avoidance: To prevent any future disputes regarding the ownership or use of the parking space, what documentation should I ensure is in place? Are there any additional precautions or verifications that I should undertake with respect to the builder or society?
Your guidance on how to proceed with this matter will be invaluable. Kindly let me know the recommended steps for registering the parking allotment and securing my legal rights to the space.
I look forward to your advice
