A property decision is rarely just about the price. The questions that matter most are often about documentation, timelines and who is legally responsible for what - and they are easy to skip when a deal feels urgent.
Is the project or property registered where it should be?
For under-construction projects in applicable states, RERA registration is a basic signal worth checking - it tells you the project is on record with the regulator, with declared timelines and a formal grievance route if something goes wrong. For resale or older properties, title and encumbrance records matter more than any registration certificate.
Whose name is actually on the documents?
Ownership chains are not always obvious, especially for inherited or long-held property. Ask for the chain of title, not just the latest sale deed, and confirm there is no pending litigation, loan, or society dispute attached to the property.
What happens if the timeline slips?
For under-construction property, ask what the agreement says about delay - not what the salesperson says. Compensation clauses, refund conditions and the actual recourse available under RERA (where applicable) are worth reading before signing, not after a delay happens.
Is finance part of the decision?
If a home loan or property finance is involved, the lender's own due diligence (valuation, title verification) adds a useful second check - but it is not a substitute for your own. Loan approval and legal clearance are two different confirmations.
A practical starting point, not a substitute for professional advice
None of this replaces a property lawyer or a registered valuer for a transaction of this size. What Sahaciety can do is help you organise the right questions, documents and connections before you get to that stage - so the professional conversation is more useful when it happens.
