Yes, it is entirely possible to purchase a flat in India without being physically present in the country. The typical property buying process includes the following steps:
- Property Tour
- Document Verification
- Finalization
- Price negotiation
- Sale Agreement
- Home loan co-ordination with Bank
- Deed Registration
- Receiving the property possession
The only stage that typically requires your physical presence is at the sub-registrar’s office, where your thumb impression and a live webcam photograph are captured to complete the property registration.
However, this requirement can be managed remotely by appointing a Special Power of Attorney (SPA) holder. This allows a trusted individual to legally represent you and complete the necessary formalities on your behalf, including providing your thumb impression and webcam photo at the sub-registrar’s office.
WHO CAN BE YOUR SPECIAL POWER OF ATTORNEY HOLDER?
You may appoint any of the following as your SPA holder:
- Father
- Mother
- Sister
- Brother
- Husband / Wife
- Son / Daughter
- Advocate
- Builder
- Real Estate Agent / Broker
- Friend
- Colleague
Important: To safeguard your interests, the Special Power of Attorney should be carefully drafted to specifically authorize only the presentation of documents in the sub-registrar’s office. It should not grant the authority to execute the conveyance deed or sale deed for the property.
