Tips for buying an old apartment

Buying a property is arguably the biggest investment one makes in his/her life. Hence, one needs to be completely sure of what they are putting their money in, so there are no future risks. If you are considering buying an old apartment but are faced with several questions, here is a checklist you might want to consider:

Legal
Though tedious and time consuming, one must go through elaborate legal formalities and paperwork in buying an old apartment. Atulay Nehra, Legal and Investment Consultant, Magicbricks Bureau says, “It is crucial to assess whether the seller is the legal owner of the property or not. All documents must be properly registered in the government records”.

“The title of a resale property must be clearly defined. Purchase agreement, sale deed, No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the society, copy of builder-buyer agreement and the documents establishing the chronological chain of ownership are the basic documents you need to have before buying an old property,” adds Nehra.

Before buying an old property, ensure there are no dues on the property from electricity, water and property tax department is a must. While the maintenance, electricity and water dues can be checked from the builders and the society, tax can be checked from the revenue department.

Look for properties in your budget!

Finance
Since the apartment is being bought from an individual and not a developer, checking the financial history of the apartment is crucial. It is important to keep track of all the financial transactions that have taken place.

“If a bank had offered financial support to the seller for buying the property, NOC from that bank is required as well,” says Nehra.

One must also consider the cash component that sometime prevails in such deals.
