Buying a home in Pune is exciting, but it is also a legal process that needs careful checking. Many buyers focus only on price, location, and amenities. On-ground reality shows that most issues come later due to incomplete paperwork or unclear approvals.
At Annpurna Realty – Built To Earn Your Trust, we regularly guide buyers through legal checks so they can buy with confidence and avoid future stress.
Why Legal Checks Matter More Than Ever in Pune
Pune’s real estate market is growing fast. As per recent market trends, over 65% of homebuyers in Pune are end-users, not investors. This means people are buying homes to live in, not just to resell.
However, nearly 3 out of 10 buyers face delays due to documentation or approval-related issues. Most of these problems can be avoided with proper legal due diligence.
Title Verification: First Step, No Shortcuts
Before booking any property, the title of the land must be clear.
What we check on-ground:
- Seller has legal ownership
- No family disputes on the property
- Land is not under litigation
- Past ownership chain is proper (usually last 30 years)
In Pune, land parcels in developing areas like Wagholi, Ravet, and Hinjewadi Phase 3 often have multiple past owners. Title verification is critical here.
RERA Registration: A Must for Under-Construction Homes
If you are buying an under-construction flat, RERA registration is compulsory.
Always verify:
- RERA registration number
- Project completion date
- Approved plans and layout
- Carpet area mentioned clearly
In Pune, almost 90% of new launches are RERA registered, but buyers still forget to check details on the official portal.
Agreement to Sale: Read Beyond the Price
The Agreement to Sale decides your legal rights.
Key clauses buyers should never ignore:
- Possession date & penalty clause
- Payment schedule
- Carpet area definition
- Cancellation terms
- Parking rights
From our experience, many disputes arise because buyers sign without understanding delay compensation clauses.
Home Loan Legal Check: Don’t Rely Only on Banks
Banks do legal checks, but their approval does not guarantee zero risk.
Why?
- Bank checks are basic
- They focus on loan safety, not buyer protection
- Some layout or access issues may be ignored
A personal legal review gives extra safety, especially in resale properties.
Occupancy Certificate & Possession Reality
Before taking possession, always ask for:
- Occupancy Certificate (OC)
- Completion Certificate
- Society formation status
In Pune, properties without OC can face:
- Water and electricity issues
- Difficulty in resale
- Legal notices from local authorities
