Is an Unregistered Property Sale Agreement Legally Enforceable? 🏡⚖️
A common question from property buyers and sellers:
👉 "If a property sale agreement is not registered, is it still legally valid?" 🤔📜💰
#RealEstateLaw #PropertySale #LegalContracts #HomeBuyingIndia
✅ The Legal Answer:
MAYBE! 🤷♂️ An unregistered sale agreement is NOT enforceable in certain cases but may still be used as evidence in court under specific conditions. As per the Registration Act, 1908, property sale agreements must be registered if the transaction value exceeds ₹100 (yes, just ₹100!). 🏠💼
