# Property & Real Estate — Niyam

> AI legal research for Indian property practice: the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908, RERA, 2016, and the Indian Easements Act, 1882. Title, transfer, and homebuyer disputes — every answer cited and good-law checked.

Property work turns on the section, the registration requirement, and the precedent that controls. Niyam reads the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908, the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, and the Indian Easements Act, 1882 — and answers in plain English, every point cited to the provision or judgment it came from.

## What you can do
- Sale, mortgage, lease, and RERA authority cited to the source
- Confirm registration and stamping requirements before the deed is executed
- Good-law signals so an overruled precedent never reaches your title opinion

## Capabilities
- **Ask the property question you actually have** — Type the question the way you'd put it to a senior — 'is an unregistered agreement to sell admissible to prove the transaction?' Niyam reads the Registration Act, 1908 and the governing judgments and answers in plain English, the controlling authority shown alongside.
- **Citations you can open and check** — Every proposition carries its authority. Open the cited section or judgment, read the exact paragraph, and confirm it says what Niyam says — because in a title opinion the source is the assurance.
- **Know a precedent is safe before you rely on it** — Niyam surfaces how later courts have treated a judgment — followed, distinguished, referred, or overruled — so an overruled citation never reaches your opinion or pleading. When the law has moved on, it points you to the authority that now governs.
- **Search 72,000+ judgments and the property statutes** — Behind every answer is the full corpus — the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908, the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, the Indian Easements Act, 1882, and the judgments construing them — indexed so the case on point surfaces even when it's phrased differently from your query.

## How it works
1. **Ask in plain English** — Describe the transaction, the document, or the dispute the way you'd brief a colleague. Niyam reads the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 and the allied statutes to understand exactly what governs.
2. **Get a cited answer** — Every answer comes grounded in primary sources — sections and judgments — with citations you can open and verify yourself.
3. **Verify and act** — Read the source, confirm it's still good law, then draft the opinion, deed, or pleading from it — without leaving Niyam.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which property statutes does Niyam cover?
Niyam is grounded in the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908, the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, and the Indian Easements Act, 1882, together with the judgments of the Supreme Court and High Courts that construe them. You can move from a mode of transfer or a registration question to the exact section and the precedent that governs it.

### Can it help me confirm registration and stamping requirements?
Yes. Ask what must be registered for a given document and Niyam points you to the requirements under the Registration Act, 1908, the consequences of non-registration, and the case law on admissibility of unregistered documents. You confirm the position against the source before the deed is executed.

### Does it cover RERA and homebuyer disputes?
Yes. Niyam surfaces the authority on project registration, refunds, and possession under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, with regulatory and appellate treatment, each linked to the source so you cite the holding, not a summary.

### Does it check whether a precedent is still good law?
Yes. Niyam surfaces a judgment's treatment history — whether later courts have followed, distinguished, referred to, or overruled it — so you can see at a glance whether a property authority is safe to rely on in a title opinion or pleading. When a judgment has been overruled, it points you to the authority that now governs.

### Is this legal advice?
No. Niyam provides legal information and research grounded in primary sources. It does not create an advocate–client relationship and does not replace advice from a qualified advocate. You remain responsible for verifying every citation, confirming registration and stamping requirements, and exercising professional judgment.

### Which courts and statutes are covered?
Judgments of the Supreme Court and High Courts, plus the property statutes — the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908, the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, and the Indian Easements Act, 1882. Coverage keeps expanding; the corpus already runs to more than 72,000 judgments alongside the statute book.

### Are my matters and queries private?
Yes. Your queries and saved research stay private to your account. Niyam is built for the confidentiality property work demands — your work product is never sold and never used to train public models.
