What goes wrong — Chandigarh and Chandigarh specifics
Most Chandigarh property is Estate Office leasehold
The great majority of Chandigarh residential and commercial property is held on lease from the Chandigarh Administration's Estate Office. Transfers require the Estate Office's permission and record update — a registered deed alone does not bind the Administration. This is the defining feature of Chandigarh conveyancing.
Daughters are coparceners in their own right
Since the 2005 amendment and Vineeta Sharma (2020), daughters hold coparcenary rights equal to sons regardless of whether the father was alive in 2005.
Every co-sharer must join or the deed can be reopened
A partition omitting a coparcener or heir is vulnerable to challenge. Identifying the complete set is the substance of the work.
Almost all Chandigarh property is Estate Office leasehold
The great majority of Chandigarh property is held on lease from the Administration's Estate Office. Transfer requires the Estate Office's permission and record update — a registered deed alone does not bind the Administration. This is the defining feature of conveyancing here.
Apartment and share-of-plot rules have changed repeatedly
Chandigarh has restricted fragmentation of residential plots into floor-wise apartments more than once, and what is permissible has moved. Arrangements lawful when made may not be replicable now.
Need-based changes and violation liability
Unauthorised construction is actively enforced against in Chandigarh, and the liability follows the property to a buyer regardless of clean title.
