Verify Property Encumbrances
Before purchasing any property, ensure it is free from financial and legal liabilities. Verify that there are no outstanding bank mortgages, loans, court attachments, liens, or pending legal claims. Reviewing an Encumbrance Certificate along with other relevant property records helps confirm that the property has a clear legal status and can be transferred without complications.
