Sankalp Organisers: Understanding Sales vs. Agreement to Sell – Know the Difference!


ree

When it comes to property transactions, understanding the difference between a Sale and an Agreement to Sell is crucial. Both play a key role in real estate deals but serve different purposes in legal terms.


What is a Sale?

A Sale is a completed transaction where property ownership is transferred immediately from the seller to the buyer. Once the sale is executed and registered, the buyer becomes the rightful owner of the property. The seller no longer holds any rights over it.


What is an Agreement to Sell?


An Agreement to Sell is a commitment between the buyer and the seller for a future property transaction. Ownership does not transfer immediately. Instead, it establishes the terms and conditions for the final sale, which takes place later upon fulfillment of agreed-upon conditions.


Key Differences

  • Ownership Transfer: A Sale transfers ownership immediately, while an Agreement to Sell is a promise for a future transfer.

  • Legal Implications: A Sale is legally binding, whereas an Agreement to Sell is only enforceable in court if one party fails to honor it.

  • Risk Factor: In an Agreement to Sell, the property risk remains with the seller until the final sale. In a Sale, the buyer assumes all risks once the deal is registered.


Conclusion

Whether you're buying or selling property, understanding these differences can help you make informed decisions. At Sankalp Organisers, we ensure seamless and legally secure transactions, guiding you every step of the way.
