Once a buyer has found the property that he wants to buy, it must be ensured that the vendor cannot sell the property to another purchaser. For this purpose, the buyer and the vendor must sign a contract that binds both the parties. This document is called a Sale Agreement or an Agreement to Sell. An Agreement to Sell is a compulsorily registrable document and an unregistered Sale Agreement has no value in the eyes of law. The Agreement to Sell must be registered in the office of the Concerned Sub Registrar within whose jurisdiction the property is situated after payment of applicable Stamp Duty. While a Sale Deed is used for the transfer of ownership of freehold properties, a Sale agreement is generally used for the transfer of leasehold properties such as Flats, Plots, Shops etc.
