Residential property registration is the final contract that specifies all the terms and sums on which the property is being sold
Buying a home of their own is one of the biggest aspirations of an average Indian. With all the consideration, planning, and paperwork involved, purchasing a home or piece of land may be a time-consuming undertaking. The entire process of purchasing real estate in India is lengthy and involves several procedures that may vary from state to state, starting with the original choice to buy a home or piece of land and continuing through managing funds, registration, and documentation.
The next step after choosing a residential property is to get it registered in your name. Even if the buyer has paid the seller the total finalised amount, the ownership is not regarded as legally effective unless the property is registered.

According to Section 17 of the Registration Act, registration of real estate in India is mandatory until and unless its worth is less than Rs 100. Once stamp duty and registration costs are paid, the property is registered in the name of the new owner.
The registration of real estate in India is a complicated procedure with potential long-term effects if not done correctly. As a result, you must exercise caution when registering any property. The buyer must verify that the previous owner has cleared all of his dues by checking the documentation pertaining to when and how the property is transferred from one owner to another. The encumbrance certificate must also be examined for any pending lawsuits or mortgages.
