Verify title, EC, sanctioned plan, GHMC/HMDA approvals, TG-RERA registration, builder’s title, and land records. Have your own property/RERA lawyer review the agreement, especially possession date, delay compensation, cancellation/refund, force majeure, maintenance and undivided share. Bank verification alone is not sufficient.

Before booking a 3-BHK in Hyderabad, obtain an independent title and RERA due-diligence review. Verify the parent title/link documents, EC, approved layout and sanctioned building plan, development/building permissions, TG-RERA registration and project disclosures, landowner/developer agreements, encumbrances, litigation, and the unit’s exact carpet area and specifications. TG-RERA provides project disclosures for informed buyer decisions. Do not rely solely on the builder’s or bank’s legal verification. Your own advocate should independently examine the title and the Agreement for Sale. Ensure the agreement clearly records the possession date, grace period, delay-interest liability, refund/exit rights, specifications, amenities, cancellation/default consequences, and statutory approvals. Under Section 13 of RERA, a promoter cannot take more than 10% as advance/application fee without first entering into and registering the prescribed Agreement for Sale. Since possession is proposed for December 2026, the contractual possession date and consequences of delay are particularly important. If the promoter fails to hand over possession according to the Agreement, Section 18 provides statutory remedies including refund with interest if the allottee withdraws, or interest for the period of delay if the allottee continues with the project. **Do not sign or pay a substantial advance until the title, approvals, TG-RERA status and Agreement for Sale have been independently verified.**

A bank’s legal verification is conducted solely to safeguard the lender's financial risk, not your consumer rights as a homebuyer; therefore, engaging an independent property advocate for comprehensive due diligence is strongly advised. Prior to booking or executing an Agreement of Sale (AOS), ensure the following legal aspects are verified: * Key Documents & Approvals: * Title Flow: Link documents/parent deeds establishing an unbroken title chain for the last 30 years. * Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Form 15 for 30 years from the Sub-Registrar to verify absence of prior mortgages or court attachments. * Regulatory Sanctions: HMDA/GHMC sanctioned building plan, technical clearance, Commencement Certificate, Fire NOC, and environmental clearance. *TG-RERA Registration: Verify project registration number and matching completion dates directly on the TG-RERA portal. * Development Agreement: If built under joint development, verify the registered Development Agreement-cum-General Power of Attorney (DAGPA) and Supplementary Allocation Deed to confirm the builder's legal entitlement to sell that specific unit. * Crucial Clauses in the Agreement: * Possession & Grace Period: Ensure the firm handover date aligns with the TG-RERA declared date without open-ended grace clauses. * Delay Compensation: A reciprocal penalty clause ensuring the builder pays equal interest (as prescribed under TG-RERA Rules) for delay, matching the penalty charged for buyer payment delays. * Carpet Area Definition: Explicit declaration of RERA carpet area and UDS (Undivided Share of land) allocation. Before signing any token receipt or agreement, share the draft Agreement of Sale along with the project sanction letters and title deeds for an independent legal scrutiny and verification report.
