Deemed conveyance is an important legal process of real estate that allows the rightful transfer of ownership rights from a developer or landlord to the cooperative housing society or condominium association. Where the developer or landlord has accepted full payment and completed all legal obligations from the society and yet fails to convey the title of the property, this becomes a critical step for such properties.

This legal provision allows housing societies or associations to obtain the title of the land and building wherein they dwell without an explicit contribution from the developer. This process is accompanied by elaborate documentation and adherence to law in such a manner that statutory provisions are satisfied. These are fulfilled by preparing necessary documents including property documents, development agreements, completion certificates, and other important records required to prove society ownership.

The process of deemed conveyance, therefore, is important to ensure security in property rights for residents and stakeholders within a housing society or condominium. It gives them legal clarity and ownership stability so that societies can look after their affairs independently, and they can carry out necessary maintenance and redevelopment activities without help from any other agency.

As such, our role with respect to guiding clients in the deemed conveyance process relates to full legal support and procedural expertise. We make all the documents proper, complete, and legally sound, thereby facilitating easy transfer of ownership rights of the developer to the society. Our objective is to be able to provide the same knowledge and support that allow clients to be more easily maneuvering this legal labyrinth to fully protect their property investments as well as better governance and management of their homes or properties.

Deemed Conveyance

Deemed conveyance is the process by which the housing society acquires its title over the land from the builder without any concurrence of the builder, thus insuring that the rights lie with the society.

Deemed conveyance is held to give legal ownership of the land to the housing society so that it can start its redevelopment work, apply for loans, and prevent third-party claims. This also simplifies future transactions and provides control over the property.

The process typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on documentation and government processing times.
