Buying property in Karnataka involves multiple steps and documentation. At Avroo's Abode, we guide clients through this process daily. Here's your comprehensive guide to property buying in Karnataka.

Step 1: Define Your Requirements

Before starting your search, clearly define:

• Budget (including registration and additional costs)
• Preferred locations
• Property type (apartment, villa, plot)
• Size requirements
• Purpose (self-use or investment)

Step 2: Property Search & Verification

Once you find potential properties, verify:

• Title Deed: Check ownership history for at least 30 years
• Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Confirms no pending loans or disputes
• Khata Certificate: Essential for property tax and utilities
• Approved Plan: BBMP/BDA approved construction plan
• Occupancy Certificate: For completed buildings
• RERA Registration: Mandatory for under-construction properties

Step 3: Legal Due Diligence

Engage a property lawyer to:

• Review all documents
• Verify title clearance
• Check for litigation
• Draft sale agreement

Step 4: Financing Your Purchase

If taking a home loan:

• Get pre-approved for loan amount
• Compare interest rates from multiple banks
• Understand EMI structure
• Factor in processing fees and insurance

Step 5: Sale Agreement

The agreement should include:

• Property details and price
• Payment schedule
• Possession date
• Penalty clauses
• Terms and conditions

Step 6: Registration

Property registration in Karnataka requires:

• Stamp Duty: 5% of property value (3% for women in some cases)
• Registration Fee: 1% of property value
• Documents: Original sale deed, ID proofs, photographs

Step 7: Mutation & Khata Transfer

After registration:

• Apply for mutation at BBMP/local authority
