Let’s explain what the term as a whole means. ‘Conveyance’ refers to as an act of transferring the title, right and interest of the property from one person or entity to another. The term ‘deed’ refers to the document which is signed by two or more parties. This is a binding contract which is enforceable in the court of law. Hence, the conveyance deed is a binding contract that transfers all the authority of the property to the buyer. The purchase of the property is incomplete without a conveyance deed.
Is sales deed and conveyance deed the same thing?
