The legal document that proves ownership and traces every hand your property has passed through
Definition of Title Deed in Real Estate
A Title Deed, also known as the Sale Deed or Conveyance Deed, is the primary legal document that transfers ownership of a property from the seller to the buyer. It records the chain of ownership, confirming that the property has a clear and marketable title. A valid Title Deed includes property details, sale consideration, buyer-seller information, and the signatures of both parties registered with the local sub-registrar.
Why It Matters
A clear Title Deed protects buyers from disputes and fraud. It:
- Proves legal ownership and transfer of rights
- Confirms that the property is free from encumbrances or claims
- Supports loan approval and resale eligibility
- Serves as legal evidence in ownership or boundary disputes
Missing or unclear title records can delay registration, financing, or resale, and may lead to ownership challenges later.
How It Works
The Title Deed is registered at the sub-registrar’s office after stamp duty and registration fees are paid. Before signing, buyers should verify:
- The seller’s ownership and chain of title
- Encumbrance Certificate for pending loans or legal claims
- Property dimensions and boundaries as per the registered document Once executed and recorded, the buyer receives the original deed, which must be stored safely for future reference.
