Your step-by-step guide to buying, selling and renting

1. 1

   Step 1

   Set a realistic price and timeline

   Look at what similar properties in your area are listed for and how long they take to sell. A fair price brings serious buyers quickly; an inflated one keeps a property on the market for months. Ask an advisor for a valuation.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Gather your documents

   Buyers and banks will ask for these, so have them ready:

   • Title deed (dolil) and earlier deeds
   • Mutation (namjari) record and land development tax (khajna) receipts
   • Approved plan and any completion or handover papers
   • Latest utility bills and service charge clearance
   • Your identity documents, and any co-owner's consent

   Step 3

   Prepare the property

   Small things make a big first impression: clean the property, fix minor repairs, clear clutter and let in the light. Good, bright photos of every room bring more enquiries.

4. 4

   Step 4

   List it with Property Index

   Use Add Property and share as much or as little as you know. A consultant calls you, we verify the details and publish your listing to buyers and tenants.

5. 5

   Step 5

   Meet serious buyers

   We screen enquiries, arrange visits and keep you informed. Be ready to answer questions about the building, charges and documents, and to negotiate within the limits you set.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Agree the terms and take a token

   Put the agreed price, payment schedule and handover date in writing and take a token against a signed receipt.

7. 7

   Step 7

   Register and hand over

   Complete the sale deed registration, receive the agreed payment, clear any dues (service charge, utilities), hand over the keys and help transfer the connections.
