Hi,
After perusing the contents of your query I would advise you to execute an agreement to sell to pen down all these modalities with regard to posession and payment terms. Making a payment thru cheque is always advisable but as a safeguard you should enter into an agreement.

The registration of a sale deed does not end with the payment of a cheque. Sale deeds must be drafted with a clause that states the sale will only be completed upon cashing the check. It is risky to receive and register sale deeds without this clause.
