IMPORTANT FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED BEFORE PURCHASING A PROEPRTY IN PAKISTAN

Certain important factors are to be considered including as follow:

  • Whether subject matter property is clear from charge, lien, or encumbrance of the third party
  • Whether Seller has absolute possession of the subject property
  • Whether Seller has a full and absolute title in the subject property

We consider it important for you to know that there are normally two common property frauds played on the purchaser by the seller in Pakistan. Seller may refuse to have received the sale proceed agreed or may flatly deny of having entered into Sale Agreement with Purchaser in relation to subject property and purchaser ultimately is left with no choice but to approach the court for the performance of the agreement. It is therefore important that the Sale Agreement be drafted to ensure maximum protection to the purchaser. In drafting the Sale Agreement it is important to consider the factual requirement of each case. Terms and Conditions of sale must be in harmony with prevalent property law and each transaction must be through a banking instrument.

In another instance, a seller transfers a defective title in property onto Purchase which is later challenged by a third party in court that causes serious inconvenience to the purchaser. It is very important that at the time of entering into a Sale Agreement with Seller, full scrutiny and examination of revenue record is done to see the present status of the property as well as title and status of the seller.
