What is ‘Schedule of Property?’
Schedule of the property is to identify the property and is typically divided into two to 3 sub-schedules. For example, in case of an apartment, Schedule-A identifies the larger extent of the property i.e. the Taluk, Hobli, Village and Survey number on which the apartment complex resides along with a description of its total area and its boundary. Schedule-B, describes the exact unit or flat in consideration. Schedule-C, mentions the undivided share of the land (UDS) associated with the unit being transacted.
What is the ‘Title Flow?’
It is nothing but the chronologically ordered history of ownership flow of the property. This essentially establishes how the present Seller (vendor) has acquired the rightful possession of the property. Typically, in case of flat, it starts with the developer taking ownership from the land owners, in turn transferring the ownership to the buyers of individual flats.
What is ‘total sale consideration’?
It is the total transaction value covering all aspects of the property including parking, interiors and fixtures and but excluding the stamp duty and registration fee. Basically, it is the total amount that the buyer is going to hand over to the seller for acquiring the property.
