When it comes to buying or selling property, two documents that often cause confusion are the Sale Agreement and the Sale Deed. While they may sound similar, they serve very different purposes in the legal process of property transfer.
A Sale Agreement is a preliminary document that outlines the intention of the buyer and seller to engage in a property transaction. It includes the terms and conditions—like price, payment schedule, possession date, and legal obligations of both parties. However, it does not transfer ownership. It merely sets the foundation for the transaction and allows the parties to move forward with legal clarity.
On the other hand, a Sale Deed is the final and most critical document. It officially transfers the ownership of the property from the seller to the buyer. This deed must be signed by both parties and registered at the Sub-Registrar Office to be legally valid.
