Legal Safeguards for Buyers & Sellers

An Agreement to Sell (often referred to as Sathe Khat in Maharashtra) forms the foundation of any high-value property transaction. It records the mutual promises made between a buyer and a seller, establishing the path to the final Sale Deed.

Adv. Mahesh Zirape helps buyers ensure the seller is legally obligated to clear all outstanding loans, society dues, and provide a clear title report before final execution. We draft, verify, and register the Sathe Khat at the Sub-Registrar office to prevent any double-allocation risks.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common queries about Agreement to Sell.

Is it mandatory to register an Agreement to Sell?
Yes, under Maharashtra registration laws, any agreement relating to the sale of immovable property must be officially registered at the Sub-Registrar office to have legal standing in court.
Will I have to pay stamp duty twice for Agreement to Sell and Sale Deed?
No. When registering the Agreement to Sell, you pay the full stamp duty. When executing the final Sale Deed, only a nominal registration charge or minimal adjustment fee is paid, as the stamp duty paid on the Agreement to Sell is legally adjusted.
What happens if a bank rejects the home loan?
We recommend adding a specific "subject to home loan approval" clause in the agreement. This clause protects the buyer by ensuring the earnest money is refunded if the loan is rejected by financial institutions.
