Comprehensive Real Estate Legal Services

An Encumbrance Certificate (EC) is a crucial document that confirms a property is free from any legal or monetary liabilities, like a mortgage or an unresolved loan. We typically check the EC for a period of 15-30 years to ensure there are no hidden claims on the property you intend to buy.

For rental periods of 12 months or more, registration of the lease agreement is mandatory under the Registration Act, 1908. For periods of 11 months or less, registration is not mandatory, but it is highly advisable to have a written agreement to protect the rights of both the landlord and the tenant.

The first step is to send a formal legal notice to the builder, demanding completion and handover of the property as per the agreement. If the builder does not respond satisfactorily, the next step is to file a complaint before the appropriate authority, which is typically the state's Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) or a Consumer Court.
