A. Dear Client,

If you wish to change the buyer's name in the sale deed before its execution and registration with the registering authority, you can do so, but it is subject to a revision in the Agreement to Sell that was initially executed between the buyers (you and your spouse) and the sellers/builders at the time of booking the flat. Failing to update the agreement may lead to disputes in the future.

To effect this change, you would typically need to cancel the earlier Agreement to Sell, wh ...ReadMore

icon Can Duplex be sold separately

I am planning to buy a duplex. On 1 plot builder has constructed 2 duplexes, but I have two doubts - first can a builder construct 2 houses on 1 plot and do 2 seperate registries for each duplex owner


A. Dear Client,

Unless there is a court-ordered partition of the land, two duplexes constructed on the same plot cannot be sold or disposed of without the consent of the co-owner. Furthermore, there are concerns about how the builder obtained approval from the competent authority for constructing two residential buildings on a single plot of land. Therefore, it is recommended to thoroughly review your plan to purchase the duplex, as it appears to involve significant complexities that may lead to ...ReadMore
