Uttarakhand — frequently asked
- What documents should I check before buying property in Uttarakhand?
- Verify the sale deed and full chain of title, an Encumbrance Certificate (13–30 years), mutation (dakhil-kharij) in the seller's name, property tax receipts, and — for flats/houses — the approved plan and Occupancy Certificate. Under-construction projects need a valid RERA registration.
- How many years of Encumbrance Certificate should I get in Uttarakhand?
- Get an EC covering at least the last 13 years (30 years is safest) so any hidden mortgage, lien or double sale on the property is visible.
