At Harinder Singh Advocate, we understand that purchasing a property is one of the most important financial and emotional investments in a person’s life. However, real estate transactions can often become complicated due to legal issues, hidden encumbrances, or incomplete documentation. To safeguard buyers, it is crucial to verify and obtain the correct certificates and clearances before finalizing a property purchase. These certificates not only establish the legal validity of ownership but also protect the buyer from future disputes, fraudulent claims, or liabilities.
Our firm specializes in guiding clients through the entire process of property verification, certificate procurement, and due diligence. We ensure that every step of your property purchase is transparent, legally compliant, and secure.
Why Certificates are Crucial in Property Purchase
Certificates issued by revenue authorities, municipal corporations, and regulatory bodies provide documentary proof of the property’s legal standing. They:
Confirm the authenticity of ownership and title.
Verify that the property is free from loans, mortgages, or encumbrances.
Ensure compliance with building and municipal regulations.
Prevent fraudulent transfers or multiple sale deeds.
Protect the buyer from tax disputes, municipal claims, or legal defects.
Provide a solid foundation for resale, mortgage, or inheritance in the future.
Key Certificates Required for Property Purchase
We assist our clients in obtaining and examining all critical certificates, including but not limited to:
Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Verifies whether the property has any legal dues, mortgages, or liabilities.
Non-Encumbrance/No Dues Certificate: Confirms no pending dues on utilities, municipal taxes, or loans.
Legal Heir / Succession Certificate: Required for properties acquired through inheritance, ensuring clear ownership.
Occupancy Certificate (OC): Issued by local authorities, confirming that the building is constructed per approved plans and is safe for habitation.
Completion Certificate (CC): Ensures construction has been lawfully completed as per building codes and sanctioned plans.
Khata / Mutation Certificate: Essential for registering the property in the buyer’s name in municipal or revenue records.
RERA Registration Certificate (for projects): Ensures that the project complies with Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act norms, protecting buyers from fraudulent or delayed projects.
NOC Certificates: From authorities such as fire, water, electricity, or environmental boards, wherever applicable.
Title Clearance Certificate: Issued by an advocate, certifying that the title of the property is legally valid and free of disputes.
