The Search: Proximity, Greenery, and the First-Floor Wish

After disposing of our father’s house property in 2012, he generously distributed the proceeds among all the children, retaining a portion for their living expenses and to gift to grandchildren. We were residing in rented independent houses in Gudimalkapur, Hyderabad, and it was only natural for us to seek a permanent, stable residence.

My search criteria were clear: two apartments in the same complex, preferably a gated community, to ensure we could stay close to our parents. We came across Executive Park by a reputed construction firm near Suncity, at the APPA junction. The location, proximity to the mainstream, and future growth prospects convinced us.

The complex consisted of seven towers, each seven floors high, offering semi-finished apartments of 1800 sq. ft. My parents' reaction was decisive: they were deeply impressed by the natural ventilation, both air and light, the peaceful neighborhood village, and the expansive lawns and greenery.

A choice of 24 apartments was given, but our wish quickly intensified: two apartments on the same floor of a tower. To our surprise, my mother made a very specific, sentimental request to the marketing manager, Shiva: she asked to see apartments opposite to each other on the first floor. This wish—to stay close to her eldest son and daughter-in-law—was fulfilled, despite the purchase price involved. She selected the first-floor units, one facing west (towards the village) and one facing east (towards the lawns).

The Documentation Drama: Drafting and Diligence

The registration process was complex. One apartment was to be registered jointly in my parents’ names, and the second jointly in my wife's and my name, a practice we adopted for its many benefits compared to registering property solely in the head of the family’s name.

Instead of relying on outside document writers, I took the responsibility of drafting the sale deed myself, taking hints from already registered documents in the same venture. This was the first time my father saw my skill in drafting, and he was impressed. However, at his instance, I sought legal opinion from an established lawyer who verified the link documents at the Registrar’s office and carefully vetted the text to ensure correct legal expression.

I deliberately avoided the anomalies and inconsistencies present in the registered document copies I had reviewed. I even requested the government authority to vet through the document prior to the day of registration, a request the official appreciated, noting that few people utilize this permissible facility. This diligence laid the crucial groundwork for the final acquisition phase.
