An agreement to sell usually records a promise or contract for a future sale. It may contain the price, payment terms, time for completion, possession terms, default clauses, and obligations of both parties.
A sale deed, when validly executed and registered where required, operates as a transfer document. It is generally stronger evidence of completed sale and ownership transfer than a mere agreement to sell.
Before relying on any document, the exact wording, registration status, possession clause, payment proof, and surrounding facts should be carefully reviewed.
