Appartment built on a land with two different owners

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 01 February 2024 This query is : Resolved
Context:
I am buying a 3 BHK property in Dehradun. I have deposited the token money to the flat owner and currently getting registry checked by the Advocate. The building has 3 floors and 2 flats on each floor.

We noticed that the building is made on two different plots of same size and both belonging to different owners. Also the building plan document shows that owners have created separate maps for both showing two different stairs but in reality there is only one stair and one building only. Is this illegal?

If the two different owners executed a development agreement with only one builder and took only one approved plan for both sites then it may not be a problem. otherwise, ask the builder/owner to return your given advanced amount.

Thanks for the reply.
There are two different owners and two different maps. What can go wrong if I buy such a property.

If the two owners obtained a single approved plan, then there is no problem. Otherwise, it cannot be suggested to take the property. However, consult a local advocate with the plan and documents.

This appears to be an illegal construction deviating the approved plans.
This is always a risk to purchase this property.
if the local civic authorities pass an order to demolish the building due to this legal irregularity then you will be at problem at a later stage. Instead better avoid buying this property
