Which documents should I keep ready before selling my property in Lucknow?
Short answer
Seller document checklist
- Registered sale deed / lease deed / freehold deed in your name.
- Chain of previous deeds going back at least 13 years (30 years is safer).
- Mutation record (dakhil kharij) reflecting current ownership.
- For LDA / UPAVP: allotment letter, possession letter and freehold deed (if converted).
- Latest house tax, water tax and electricity bill; ideally 2–3 recent receipts.
- Society / RWA NOC or maintenance clearance for flats and gated plots.
- Loan closure letter and original documents from the bank if the property was mortgaged.
- For houses: sanctioned building plan and completion / occupancy certificate where applicable.
- For inherited property: succession / legal heir certificate or WILL, and consent of co-heirs.
- Seller's PAN, Aadhaar, address proof; for NRI sellers: passport, OCI / PIO, POA.
Before you fix a price
- Look at recent registered transactions in the same colony / tower — not just quoted asking prices.
- Adjust for floor, facing, age of construction, road width and society charges.
- Understand capital gains tax implications with your CA before signing an agreement to sell.
- Decide upfront how you want to receive payment — cheque, RTGS, part-cheque, and timelines.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to convert my LDA property to freehold before selling?
Not mandatory in every case, but freehold properties usually attract more serious buyers and simpler bank funding. If your property is still leasehold, factor the conversion charge and timeline into your plan.
How long does a Lucknow property sale usually take?
From listing to registry, most standard resale transactions take a few weeks to a few months depending on document readiness, buyer financing and mutation. Ayana does not promise a fixed timeline.
Can I sell my Lucknow property while living abroad?
Yes, through a specific notarised / apostilled Power of Attorney to a trusted representative in India. Ayana coordinates document review and site visits remotely.
Does Ayana charge upfront to list my property?
Ayana works on consented advisory terms, discussed transparently before engagement. There are no upfront listing fees for the standard sell-property intake.
