Hi,
I am looking out for a flat in chennai. I came across a builder who has acquired a land on joint venture. The history of the property is as below
The property belonged to the local cooperative society till 1924. The society has sold it to Mr. Ram in 1924. After the death of Mr. Ram , Mr, Laxman ( his son ) has acquired possession of the land. In 1965 , Mr, Laxman has sold the land to Mr. Kumar. Mr. Kumar in turn has developed the land into plots and sold to different parties. Mr. Arun is one among them to buy 3 grounds. After the death of Mr. Arun his sons along with the builder has made a joint venture to develop these grounds in flats. My question is
We have the following documents
1. Sale deed made by Mr. Kumar to Mr. Arun
2. confirmation of Mr. Arun's legal heirs.
But, the document of sale deed made by Mr. Laxman to Mr. Kumar in 1965 is not available. Will that be a problem . Will there be any problem if Mr. Laxman had gone for some bank collateral etc. Since, he has sold it 46 years back.
Request your expert advice, whether i can proceed with buying this flat without this document
Regards
Ramesh
