Why Should You Consult a Real Estate Lawyer Before Making a Property Decision?

 Your savings. Your family’s security. Your future plans. One document of unclear ownership, a loan you’re unaware of or a poorly worded agreement can ruin a great deal and leave you with years of frustration.

A Real Estate Lawyer reviews the legal aspects of purchasing, selling, leasing, developing or inheriting real property. The lawyer’s job is to look out for your legal and financial interests, not like a broker. Clients turn to LEGAL365 when they want a second opinion before they sign on dotted line or are faced with a property related dispute.




Advocate BK Singh can help you with issues related to residential plots, flats, commercial properties, inherited properties, properties under construction by builder and landlord tenant disputes through LEGAL365.

Why Is Legal Verification Necessary Before Buying Property?

Just because someone is in possession and selling does not mean they have an unencumbered title they can transfer. There could be past sale deeds, mortgages, family claims or court cases. There may be restrictions on development or past unsigned documents.

LEGAL365 reviews the chain of title available, the ownership documents, encumbrance and related details, approved plans and sale terms. This legal due diligence empowers the client before they part with a large token amount or sign an agreement.

Customers come to LEGAL365 when the builder is not giving possession or someone else is claiming ownership. By the time you have such problems, it may be too late to back out. Meet Advocate BK Singh first and he can spot any issues when you have the option to walk away.

Can a Real Estate Lawyer Protect Sellers and Property Owners?

Yes. Apart from Buyers, Sellers and owners can also be exposed to risk because of ambiguous payment terms, delay in handing over possession, unlawful occupation, faulty documents or buyers backing out of agreed terms. Advocate BK Singh and LEGAL365 evaluate the documents, communication and agreements involved and only then suggest the correct legal course of action to be taken. The aim is not to file frivolous lawsuits. We aim to prevent our clients from entering into an unjust or one sided deal.

Why Do Property Matters Require Different Legal Remedies?

Property disputes aren’t all governed by the same forum. Depending on the facts of your matter, you could have an action pending in the civil courts, consumer commission, state RERA authority, revenue authority, registrar, arbitral forum or even High Court.

Covered real estate projects are governed by The Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 which also provides for regulatory and appellate forums. Transfer of Property Act, 1882 and Registration Act, 19 08 also govern aspects of property transfers and registration.

LEGAL365 will determine the nature of the issue before suggesting the forum with the jurisdiction to address your dispute. This is important because approaching a forum with relief you cannot actually seek from that forum will waste time, money and could be objected to on jurisdictional grounds.

What Property Documents Should a Lawyer Examine?

LEGAL365 would verify the following documents, depending on the nature of the transaction:

  • Title and deed of conveyance history 

  • Sale agreement, deed of sale, lease or builder agreement

  • Mutation, revenue and tax receipt for property tax

  • Approved plans, approvals, completion certificate 

  • Loan/mortgage/charge related documents 

  • Possession letter/notice and payment receipts 

The checklist for verifying documents differs from transaction to transaction. BK Singh reviews the documents pertaining to the specific property in question rather than going through a generalized checklist.

When Should You Consult Advocate BK Singh?

Consultation of lawyer must be opted whenever your property papers are not clear/finalized, property is inherited, you are facing any possession related issues, builder has delayed construction, your agreement has unilateral clauses/impositions or any other person has staked a claim.

Clients also consult LEGAL365 before buying expensive residential or commercial properties in Delhi NCR or other cities in India. It's always better to be safe than sorry, and thus checking with a lawyer before investing your money is safer than getting your lawyer fix a documentation issue that could've been avoided.

Why Should You Hire Arbitration Lawyers for Business and Contract Disputes?

Image
  You receive an unpaid payment, despite multiple requests. Your supplier unexpectedly refuses to continue performing a contract. Business partners dispute accounts. Or your construction project grinds to a halt after huge expenditure. Then you realise there is an arbitration clause hidden in the fine print of the agreement. Arbitration Lawyers   analyse whether there is a valid arbitration agreement governing the dispute; if so they determine the seat and proper procedure; draft the claim or defence; and represent parties before tribunals and the relevant courts. Their work also encompasses urgent relief, appointment of arbitrators, settlement negotiations and enforcement or setting aside of awards. Clients often believe that arbitration is just like a court case, except conducted in private. It is not. The parties’ agreement determines the arbitral forum, method of appointment and rules that will govern the proceedings, including how the costs are allocated. Arbitration also...
