Need Loan Legal Advice on Buying a Flat in Pune – Missing Chain Documents
I’m planning to buy a 16-year-old flat in Pune for 1Cr+. Here’s the situation:
1. Ownership History:
• Builder → Owner 1 → Owner 2 (current seller) → Me (potential buyer)
2. Documents :
Missing Documents
• The chain documents from the builder to Owner 1 are missing.
Present Documents
• Documents from Owner 1 to Owner 2 are present
3. Loan Option:
• Loan agent suggested a “registered mortgage” to resolve the issue.
4. Bank Preference:
• I plan to opt for loans from PSU banks ONLY (Bank of Maharashtra or SBI).
Questions:
• What are my options for proceeding with this purchase?
• Will the missing builder-to-Owner-1 chain be an issue when applying for a loan?
• How can I avoid potential risks, such as disputes or claims on the property later?
• Is the registered mortgage solution safe?
Any advice or experience would be much appreciated. I want to make an informed decision before going ahead with this purchase.
