As an advocate, I deal with real estate transactions, and one frequently asked question: Is builder NOC required for sale of flat? The short response is yes. In most cases, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the builder is necessary, even if the housing society is not yet registered. This NOC attests that the builder has no issues with the transfer of ownership and that the seller has paid all outstanding debts.
Is NOC Required for Sale of a Flat?
The NOC from the builder serves as a formal guarantee that there are no unpaid bills for the apartment, including maintenance fees, energy bills, or unpaid installments. Additionally, it attests that the seller is the legitimate owner and has the power to sell the property.
The developer or future society body may not legally recognise the transfer in the absence of this NOC.
Furthermore, before granting a buyer's financing, banks and home loan providers want the builder's NOC.
So, to ensure a smooth and legally valid sale process, always obtain the builder’s NOC before executing the sale agreement.
