Are you planning to buy your first flat, inherit a piece of land, or just rent, and suddenly you hear terms like “RERA”, “encumbrance certificate”, or worse, “building fraud” come your way? These legal terms alone are enough to make someone’s head spin.
That’s where** Indian Property & Real Estate Law for A Common Man **comes in. The author, Sree Krishna Seelam, wrote this in simple English so regular people, not just lawyers, can understand how property law works in India. It's described as "not a traditional law textbook", but a clear, actionable guide aimed at everyday citizens who dream of owning, renting, or protecting property.
The book is concise, and instead of using legal jargon, the author employs short chapters, real-life stories, and step-by-step checklists to convey its message. Some important topics include:
Ownership Basics: What makes the law say a property is legally yours
Buying or Selling Safely: How to avoid scams and ensure proper legal checks
Dispute Prevention: Real‑life scenarios where issues arise—and how to stop them early
Dealing with Scams: From dodgy builders to land grabs, learn your legal rights
A property dispute can take up to 5-10 years to be resolved, and the legal fees can be enormous. What this book does i give you an extra edge you need to keep yourself away from a legal nightmare. It teaches you how overlooking even one small detail can turn into a lifelong headache.
Property matters deeply in India. It isn't just bricks and land, it’s about security, long-term value, rights, and often emotional investment too. Most of us aren’t lawyers, but we still need to navigate this terrain safely. Whether it’s a first home, inherited ancestral land, or even a small rental, knowledge means protection. Ignorance leads to traps: forged documents, deals that go sour, family disputes, or worse. Seelam’s book isn’t for lawyers; it’s for the rest of us. Students, young professionals, families, and anyone curious about their rights. It gives you insight that can help you make smarter decisions, not feel stuck in bureaucratic jargon or scams. And since it's free or low-cost, it’s accessible to nearly everyone.
