Q: Documents to check before buying Commercial Property

HI What are the documents one should check before buying any commercial plot for restaurent/hotel??

Advocate Amit Mehta answered
You should first check if the property is Residential or Commercial property. If it's a commercial property, then does it has all the approvals by the statutory authority for running a hotel. Check the original allotment letter and its originality. Get the title of the plot verified by the lawyer to check property lien, easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions(CC&Rs), agreements, resolutions and ordinances that may affect the property in question.If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.Thanks and Best Regards,Amit Mehta | Managing PartnerSai & Mehta | Advocates & IP Attorneys

Before the next date of hearing appoint some reliable and professional lawyer. Through that lawyer make your submissions before the court that previous lawyer has not filed any document and you may be given the last opportunity to present your case.Discuss with your lawyer all the terms you had in Agreement between you and builder (your query is not clear on what conditions are their in agreement) so that proper case can be made before the court to get you relief on the next date of hearing.If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

sir, my father signed the documents regarding gurantor of vehicle loan of one of my relative now , my relative is not paying his dues so a summon from court is issued to my father. what should we do because at the time of signature they didnt mention the consequences and also my father is not educated .

Advocate Amit Mehta answered
As your father is a guarantor in loan, bank has full right to secure the loan from your father in the event of default. However, you must secure your father legal rights by filing timely response in the present case taking a plea that your father is un-educated and has been cheated by your relatives by suppressing the material facts. Not only that, you should also cooperate by joining the legal proceedings with bank to get the money recovered from your relatives. You can take a help of lawyer in getting the reply ready and also in devising the proper strategy.If you have any questions or assistance in this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me..Thanks and Best Regards,Amit Mehta | Managing PartnerSai & Mehta | Advocates & IP Attorneys
