Mulund and Vikhroli have a large stock of resale flats in established co-operative housing societies. A resale home lets you see the actual flat, the building and the neighbours before you pay. But the paperwork trail is longer than with a new project, and one missing paper can delay your home loan or the society transfer for months. This checklist answers the questions buyers most often search for, so you know what to ask for before you pay a token amount.
Start with ownership. The share certificate alone is not enough.
Ask for the seller's registered agreement for sale or conveyance deed, with proof that stamp duty was paid and the document was registered. Index II is the extract of that registration. You can look up registered documents through the online property search of IGR Maharashtra, the state's Department of Registration and Stamps. Older documents may not be online, so your advocate may also search the sub-registrar's records.
Every sale since the builder sold the flat to the first buyer should be there, with no gaps. Banks check this chain closely, and a missing link is one of the most common reasons a resale home loan gets stuck. If a previous owner passed away, ask for the will, probate or legal heir papers that explain how the flat moved to the current seller.
If the flat is in joint names, every owner named in the papers must sign the new agreement. Match the names on the agreement, the share certificate and the society records.
Most flats in Mulund West, Mulund East and Vikhroli sit in co-operative housing societies registered under the Maharashtra co-operative department. Ask for:
The OC (or a completion certificate where that is what was issued) is the municipal confirmation that the building can be legally occupied. Buildings without an OC can face issues with water connections, property tax and resale, and many lenders are cautious about them. Ask the society secretary for a copy.
Check that the flat on the ground matches the sanctioned plan. Enclosed balconies, merged rooms or extra lofts may not be on the approved plan. For newer buildings that needed MahaRERA registration, you can also check the project page on MahaRERA. Our guide on carpet area vs built-up area explains how to compare the area you are quoted.
Ask for recent property tax receipts and electricity bills. They help confirm the flat's details and show there are no unpaid dues attached to it.
This is common. The seller's bank usually holds the original papers. Ask for the bank's letter showing the outstanding amount, and plan the payment so the loan is closed first and the bank releases the originals and a no-dues letter. Your own lender can often pay the seller's bank directly as part of the disbursement. To plan your EMI, see our post on the repo rate and home loan EMIs.
A resale agreement in Mumbai must be stamped and registered, just like a new booking. Stamp duty is worked out on the higher of the agreement value and the government ready reckoner value. Our stamp duty and registration guide for 2026 walks you through the rates and steps. After registration, file the transfer application with the society quickly so the share certificate moves into your name.
A resale flat in Mulund gives you a ready home in a settled neighbourhood. A new MahaRERA-registered project gives you a newer building and simpler paperwork. If you are weighing both, look at OM GN Willows at Kannamwar Nagar-1, Vikhroli East (MahaRERA P51800077593), with 1 and 2 BHK homes from ₹78.50 L all-inclusive, alongside the resale options on our properties page. For a wider view of the two localities, read why Mulund and Vikhroli remain strong choices in 2026.

Check the seller's registered sale agreement or deed with its Index II, the full chain of earlier agreements back to the first buyer, the original society share certificate in the seller's name, a society no-dues letter and latest maintenance receipts, the building's occupancy certificate (OC), property tax receipts, and, if the flat is mortgaged, the bank's letter on the outstanding loan. Have an advocate run a title search before you pay a large amount.
No. The share certificate shows the seller is a member of the co-operative housing society for that flat. Ownership is shown by the registered agreement or sale deed and its Index II. You need both to be in order for a smooth transfer and a home loan.
IGR Maharashtra, the state's Department of Registration and Stamps, offers an online property search on its website where registered documents can be looked up. Older documents may not be online, so your advocate may also search the sub-registrar office records.
It depends on your society's adopted bye-laws and your lender. Many banks ask for a society letter before disbursing a home loan, so ask your lender early what it needs and request the letter from the society in writing.
