When you’re purchasing or selling a property, you require several documents. One of the essential documents needed in dealing with property is a Encumbrance certificate; this certificate is necessary to establish that the property owned by a person is free of any financial liability, loan, or mortgage. It secures the ownership of the property. Further, it ensures that the property has a legal title. It is useful to review the legality of the title. It is important while purchasing or selling a property as it proves ownership, mortgage liability, property schedule, deed type, history of the registered transaction, registration date, allotment number, and ownership. If a property doesn’t have an encumbrance certificate made,it does not have a marketing title, and thus it cannot be sold.
