What documents should I check before buying property in Delhi?

Verify the original sale deed, complete 30-year chain of title, encumbrance certificate, mutation records, property tax receipts, approved building plans from DDA/MCD, RERA registration for under-construction projects, and pending court cases. Delhi Legal Expert conducts comprehensive pre-purchase due diligence covering all these areas. Fee: Rs 5,000 to Rs 25,000. Call +91 8130789810.

How do I file a RERA complaint against a builder in Delhi?

A RERA complaint is filed online at the RERA Delhi portal, supported by the registered agreement, payment receipts, and delay documentation. RERA Delhi can order possession with delay interest at SBI MCLR + 2% per month, or full refund with interest. Delhi Legal Expert drafts and files RERA complaints with complete documentation and compensation calculations.

What is the difference between a sale deed and an agreement to sell?

An agreement to sell records the terms of the proposed transaction but does not transfer ownership. A sale deed is the final registered document that actually transfers title from seller to buyer. An agreement to sell gives rights to compel completion under the Specific Relief Act; a registered sale deed gives actual ownership. Both must be reviewed by a property lawyer before signing.

Can an NRI buy or sell property in Delhi without visiting India?

Yes. An NRI can manage Delhi property through a registered Power of Attorney holder in India. The POA must be notarised in the NRI's country and apostilled (Hague Convention countries) or attested by MEA and Indian Embassy. Delhi Legal Expert drafts NRI POA documents and represents NRI clients in all property proceedings through the authorised POA holder.

What is adverse possession and how does it threaten Delhi property owners?

Adverse possession allows someone who has openly, continuously, and hostilely occupied property for 12 years without the owner's permission to claim legal title. File a possession suit before the 12-year period expires — after that, the owner loses the right to recover the property. Delhi Legal Expert files urgent possession suits and injunctions to protect property from adverse possession claims.

How long does a property dispute case take in Delhi?

Property dispute cases in Delhi civil courts take 3 to 10 years depending on complexity. Injunction applications are heard within days to weeks. RERA complaints resolve in 6 to 18 months. Consumer forum builder complaints take 1 to 3 years. Delhi High Court property matters take 1 to 5 years. Early filing and active case management significantly reduce timelines.

What is property mutation and why is it important in Delhi?

Mutation (dakhil-kharij) is updating ownership records with MCD, DDA, or revenue authority to reflect the new owner's name after every property purchase. Without mutation, you cannot demonstrate ownership in government records or easily sell or mortgage the property. Mutation must be applied for within a reasonable time after purchase and registration.
