A. Dear Client,

Legally, a Builder cannot sell the terrace of any multistoried building which is known as a common area usable by all the floor owners of the Building.

A. Dear Client,
Here are some key considerations:

Terms of the Agreement: The first step is to review the terms and conditions of the agreement made among the siblings. If the agreement explicitly prohibits the sale of the flats to third parties, the daughter may be bound by the terms of the agreement. The wording and enforceability of the agreement will be critical.

Legal Ownership: It's essential to determine the legal ownership of the flats. If the daughter legally owns the flat in her name, ...ReadMore
