Verification vs registration office scrutiny
Sub-Registrars examine identity, stamp, and basic document form — not whether your builder complied with every setback rule. Private verification closes that gap.
Red flags buyers miss
Undivided share and built-up area mismatch, unapproved additional floors, seller still shown as mortgagor on EC, or possession given without completion certificate in apartment towers.
Documentation after verification
Findings feed into sale deed recitals, indemnity clauses, and sometimes escrow or stage payment schedules until NOCs arrive.
