The Advance Agreement For Sale Of Flat is a critical document in Indian real estate transactions, commonly used when a property is under construction or nearing completion. This agreement type became particularly significant after the implementation of RERA in 2016, which mandated specific disclosures and terms in such agreements. It serves as a legally binding commitment between the developer and the purchaser, outlining payment schedules, construction timelines, and delivery specifications. The agreement is essential for protecting buyer interests while ensuring developer compliance with regulatory requirements. It typically precedes the final sale deed and is required for various purposes including loan applications, establishing buyer rights, and documenting the transaction structure. The document must comply with state-specific real estate laws, RERA guidelines, and the Transfer of Property Act, making it a fundamental instrument in Indian property transactions.
