Document background
The Deed of Sale of Land is a crucial legal instrument in Pakistani property law, used whenever there is a transfer of land ownership from one party to another. This document is essential for both private and commercial real estate transactions in Pakistan, requiring careful preparation to ensure compliance with various laws including the Transfer of Property Act 1882, Registration Act 1908, and relevant provincial regulations. The deed must contain specific details about the property, parties involved, consideration, and terms of transfer, and must be registered with the Sub-Registrar's office. It serves as the primary evidence of property transfer and requires proper stamping as per applicable stamp duty laws. The document is particularly important as it forms the basis for subsequent mutation of property in revenue records and establishes clear title for the purchaser.
