What is a Sale Deed?
A Sale Deed is a legal document used to record the transfer of ownership of an immovable property from a seller to a buyer for an agreed sale consideration. It is one of the central documents in a property transaction because it identifies the parties, describes the property, records the consideration and sets out the terms under which ownership is transferred.
A Sale Deed commonly contains the buyer and seller details, property description and schedule, survey or identifying details, extent of the property, agreed consideration, relevant declarations, rights being transferred and signatures of the parties and witnesses.
After execution and registration in accordance with applicable law and procedure, the transaction becomes part of the official registration record. The registered document therefore forms an important part of the property's title history and may be relevant when the property is later sold, transferred or financed.
