What is Sale Deed & Agreement to Sell?
A sale deed is the most important legal document in any property transaction — it is the instrument through which ownership is officially and permanently transferred from the seller to the buyer. In Karnataka, a sale deed must be executed on non-judicial stamp paper of the appropriate value, signed by both parties in the presence of two witnesses, and registered at the jurisdictional Sub-Registrar office. Without a registered sale deed, no ownership transfer is legally recognized, regardless of any prior agreements or payments made. Right Assets Management drafts sale deeds that are legally precise, compliant with the Registration Act 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act, and tailored to the specific property — whether it is a flat in HSR Layout, a plot in Yelahanka New Town, or a commercial unit in Koramangala. We also draft the Agreement to Sell, which is the preliminary contract signed before the final sale deed, detailing the sale price, advance payment, timelines, and contingency clauses. Our legal team reviews every clause to protect your interests, whether you are a buyer or seller. We handle the complete documentation chain — from title deed verification and EC extraction to stamp paper procurement and Sub-Registrar appointment booking — ensuring the deed is executed accurately, on time, and without scope for future disputes.

How We Help — Step by Step
Document Collection & Review
We collect the title documents, previous sale deeds, encumbrance certificate, khatha, and tax receipts to verify ownership history and identify any red flags before drafting.
Agreement to Sell Drafting (if not already done)
If the Agreement to Sell has not been executed, we draft a comprehensive preliminary agreement covering price, advance, timelines, and default clauses, signed on appropriate stamp paper.
Sale Deed Drafting
Our legal team drafts the sale deed incorporating all property details, boundary descriptions, consideration amount, payment terms, and encumbrance-free declarations as per Karnataka legal standards.
Stamp Duty Calculation & Payment
We calculate the exact stamp duty based on Karnataka's slab rates and guidance value, arrange for stamp paper or e-stamping, and pay stamp duty via authorised channels.

We book the appointment at the appropriate Sub-Registrar office (India Urban or Rural, based on property location) through the Karnataka online booking portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an Agreement to Sell and a Sale Deed?
An Agreement to Sell is a preliminary contract that records the intent to sell — it outlines price, advance paid, and timelines but does not transfer ownership. A Sale Deed is the final, registered document that actually transfers ownership. Both are important, but only the registered sale deed creates legal title in the buyer's name.
Can a sale deed be cancelled after registration?
A registered sale deed can only be cancelled by a court order or with the mutual consent of both buyer and seller through a registered cancellation deed. It cannot be unilaterally cancelled. This makes it essential to review all clauses carefully before signing, which is exactly what our team does on your behalf.
What happens if there is an error in a registered sale deed?
Minor errors in a registered sale deed can be corrected through a Rectification Deed, which must also be registered at the Sub-Registrar office. Significant errors may require legal intervention. Our team ensures the draft is reviewed multiple times before execution to eliminate all errors.
How long does it take to get the registered sale deed back after registration?
After registration at the Sub-Registrar office, the registered document is typically returned within 2–7 working days, depending on the office workload. We track the document return and collect it on your behalf if you are unavailable.
Is it mandatory to register an Agreement to Sell?
Under the Registration Act, an Agreement to Sell for immovable property above ₹100 is compulsorily registrable if it creates an interest in the property. While many people skip this, a registered Agreement to Sell gives you stronger legal protection and is recommended for high-value transactions.
