Sale Deed vs Agreement for Sale: Know the Legal Difference

0
193

In real estate, these two documents may sound similar—but they serve very different purposes.

Agreement for Sale

This is a promise to sell a property in the future under agreed terms.

  • Purpose: Outlines conditions like price, payment schedule, and possession date

  • Legal Standing: It’s an executory contract—ownership doesn’t transfer yet

  • Registration: Optional (but recommended for legal clarity)

  • Risk: If breached, the buyer can sue for performance or compensation

Sale Deed

This is the final legal document that transfers ownership from seller to buyer.

  • Purpose: Confirms the sale and hands over legal title

  • Legal Standing: It’s an executed contract—ownership is transferred immediately

  • Registration: Mandatory under the Registration Act, 1908

  • Risk: Without it, the buyer has no legal claim to the property
