Transfer, Sale & Purchase Matters

The transfer of immovable property in Pakistan is governed by the Transfer of Property Act 1882, which prescribes the modes of transfer, the requirements for a valid transfer deed, and the rights and obligations of transferor and transferee. A valid sale requires a registered sale deed, payment of stamp duty, and mutation of the property in the revenue record. Our firm represents buyers, sellers, and developers in structuring and completing property transactions with full legal due diligence.

The transaction process involves multiple stages: agreement to sell (bayana), due diligence and title verification, drafting and execution of the sale deed, payment of stamp duty and registration charges, and mutation of title in the revenue records. Each stage presents potential pitfalls — defective title, unpaid taxes, existing mortgages, or mismatched property descriptions. We guide clients through each step, ensuring that all legal requirements are satisfied.

Beyond individual sale transactions, we advise on bulk property acquisitions, joint development agreements, and property auctions conducted by banks or government agencies. We also handle the legal aspects of property financing, including drafting and registration of mortgages, charge creation, and enforcement of security interests.
