When should you think about taking the legal help to buy property in India?

Go to the legal desk incase:
You want to purchase an old property i.e. the property from an existing owner rather than a property developer.
The property is held jointly, or the seller may not contain proper title or authority to sell the property.
The property may have already been sold by the seller or it may be encumbered.
However, it seems a little difficult for any individual to check out all the areas at the same time. For that reason, it is always a better option to avail the services of an expert in the matter. Although, a purchaser can do an initial review of the documents, it is good to have the legal documents verified by the expert.Scanning through property documents is no easy task. Land records are generally written in local language. The property buyer requires scouting through several legal documents to trace the ownership of the property. You may also ask your legal advisor to prepare a search report for yourself. The search report marks out:
History of the property
Details of the original property owner
How the property has been transferred over time before reaching the present seller?
Any charges or encumbrances created on the property
The present status of the property whether the payment has been made and the property released or are there any pending charges etc.
search report containing details about your property can be obtained from an advocate who will carry out a survey of the title of the property by paying a visit to the registrar's office. A seller must have a copy of this report to the 'agreement for sale' with the actually property buyer.
