Property document checklist

Before you book, ask for the documents behind the offer.

A pre-booking property document checklist helps you connect each sales claim to the relevant record. Identify the exact project, phase and unit first, then ask for the title, plan, permission and agreement material that applies to it. The documents you need depend on the transaction, location and construction stage.

A starting checklist for your conversation

Use this list to organise questions for the developer and your adviser. It is a general preparation tool; it is not a complete legal document list for every purchase.

Documents and the questions they help answer
Record to requestWhat to match or clarify
RERA registration and available updatesProject name, number, phase, promoter and stated timeline
Title and land-rights materialLand identity and the evidence supporting the right to develop
Latest sanctioned planOffered tower, unit, parking, amenities and approved scope
Applicable approvals and permissionsIssuer, date, reference number, scope and any conditions
Draft agreement and payment scheduleParties, offered area, price components, possession and other terms
Completion or occupancy material, where relevantWhether the document applies to the offered building and stage

Read the date, scope and identity together

For each document, note the project, land or phase it describes. Ask whether it is the current version and whether any later revision changes the scope being offered. A permission for one building does not answer a question about a different tower.

Keep the brochure, offer and proposed agreement beside the documents. Where a feature, area or date differs, ask the developer to explain the difference in writing and provide the supporting record.

What to do when a document is unavailable

Write down the precise claim you could not establish and which document would answer it. Ask for the current version, reference number and relevant pages rather than a general assurance that everything is approved.

ReraDekho's report distinguishes reviewed evidence from unverified information. An evidence gap does not, by itself, establish that a required permission is absent. Use it to direct further enquiries and professional review.

  • What document establishes this claim for my phase?
  • Who issued it, and on what date?
  • Has the scope or document been revised?
  • Can my adviser review the complete current document?

Give the agreement its own review

Compare the draft agreement's identity, area, payment schedule and possession terms with the offer. Ask for clarification of terms you do not understand before relying on a sales explanation. A project score does not replace reading the agreement for your particular transaction.

A qualified property lawyer can advise on the documents and terms applicable to your purchase. ReraDekho adds a structured analysis of available records and prepares questions; it does not issue a legal title opinion.

Useful answers before you start

Is this checklist enough to establish clear title?

No. It helps organise your document requests. The applicable title review and legal advice depend on the property and transaction; ReraDekho does not issue a legal title opinion.

Do I need the same documents for every property?

No. The relevant records depend on the location, transaction, project scope and construction stage. Confirm the applicable list with a qualified professional.

Does the report contain every original document?

Source coverage varies. The report shows the available evidence references and distinguishes material that could not be verified. It does not promise access to every original file.
