Legal and Documentation Checklist for Buying a Flat at Birla Evara
Buying a flat is a big decision. Along with checking the location, layout, and amenities, it’s very important to make sure all legal documents are in place. If you are planning to buy a home at Birla Evara, located in Kodathi Village near Sarjapur Road, Bangalore, here’s a simple guide to help you stay safe and informed.
Below is a legal checklist you should follow before you book your dream flat.
- RERA Registration
Check if the project is registered and approved under RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority). This ensures the builder is following all rules and that the project is legally approved. Birla Evara is RERA-approved, which adds to your peace of mind.
- Title Deed
Ask for the title deed of the land. It shows that the builder owns the land and has the right to build and sell apartments. The title should be clear and without any disputes.
- Encumbrance Certificate
This certificate proves that the property is not under any loan or legal problem. It also gives you the ownership history of the land. Make sure to ask for one that covers at least the last 13 years.
- Sale Agreement
This document lists everything related to your flat—like price, payment plan, size, delivery date, and penalties for delays. Read it carefully. If needed, get a legal expert to review it.
- Occupancy Certificate (OC)
Once the building is ready, the local authority gives an occupancy certificate. It means the building is safe to live in. You’ll need it to get water, electricity, and other services.
- Khata Certificate and Extract
These are important documents issued by the local municipality. They help in property tax payment and also show that the flat is legally yours. The builder should have both in their name before you register the property.
- Building Plan Approval
The builder must get approval from BBMP or BDA for the layout and building plan. Make sure the construction matches the approved plan and has no changes that aren’t legal.
- No Objection Certificates (NOCs)
Before construction starts, the builder must get NOCs from departments like fire, water, and electricity. Ask the builder to show you copies of these certificates.
- Bank Loan Approval
If you are going for a home loan, check if the project is approved by major banks. Bank approvals show that the project is safe from a legal point of view.
- Allotment and Possession Letters
Once you book a flat, the builder gives you an allotment letter. After the flat is ready, they give a possession letter with the date of handover. Keep these documents safely.
Buying a flat in Bangalore, especially in well-connected areas like Sarjapur Road or Kodathi Village, is a smart move. But making sure all legal checks are complete is just as important. When you choose Birla Evara, most of these steps are already taken care of by a trusted builder—but it’s always good to ask questions and verify.
