A sale agreement for property is a different instrument from a rental agreement, and the stamp duty basis is different too — this is worth understanding before you assume it works the same way as the agreement you signed for your rented flat.
How the duty differs from a rental agreement
Where a rental agreement's duty is calculated from a Consideration Amount tied to rent and deposit, a sale agreement's duty is calculated from the sale consideration or the property's market value (guidance value), whichever is higher — a much larger base, since it reflects the value of the property itself rather than a tenancy. We confirm the exact figure from your sale value before issuing anything.
Sale agreement vs sale deed — know which stage you are at
A sale agreement is typically executed at the earlier stage, recording the agreed price and terms before the final transfer. The sale deed is the document that actually conveys ownership and must be registered at the sub-registrar's office — a sale agreement by itself does not transfer title. If you are at the final ownership-transfer stage, you need a registered sale deed, not just a sale agreement; ask us which stage applies to you.
What we help with
Drafting the sale agreement with the agreed price, advance/token amount, possession date and conditions, e-stamped correctly for the value involved. For the registration of the final sale deed, we can guide you on the process, though registration itself happens at the sub-registrar's office.
