BUYERS GUIDE

  • While making the decision to buy the property, several aspects should be considered; fees, loan and property price and the location.
  • Property area and its location: visit the property site and get to know the in and around of the property (including transportation and community facilities).
  • Calculate the total expenditure of the purchase, e.g. as lawyers' fees, loan charges, insurance fees and stamp duties.
  • Consult the banks to understand if you are eligible to obtain the needed mortgage loan, select the appropriate payment method and calculate the amount of the loan to ensure it is within your repayment ability.
  • When calculating the per-square-foot price, you should fully understand whether the calculation is based on the "saleable area" or the "carpet area" of the flat. If in doubt, enquire with us.

Before purchasing any property, you should verify from the Registrar of Companies that the property is neither mortgaged nor collateral security against any loan etc.

Before purchasing a property, you should look at the sanctioned layout plan, building plan, ownership documents etc. As all these processes are very hectic and requires a lot of legal probing, it is advisable to contact an advocate for further advice.

While buying a flat from a builder which is under construction, you need to check the following:

  • You should check the approved plan of the building along with the number of floors.
  • Be sure that the floor you are purchasing is approved.
  • You should check that either the builder owns the land on which he is constructing or he has undertaken an agreement with a landlord.
  • You should check if the builder is constructing without any violation of front setbacks, side setbacks, height etc.
  • You should check that specifications given in the agreement to sell of the sale brochure is entirely followed by the builder or not.
  • Check the reputation of the builder in the market.
  • Ensure that urban land ceiling NOC, NOC from water and electricity authorities, NOC from lift authorities has been obtained or not.

An agreement of sale, coupled with actual possession of the property would be considered as a conclusion of the sale. Usually, the entire amount is paid at the time of handing over possession.

  • Research: Select what features you most require in a home, what localities you desire, and how much you are willing to shell out each month for housing.

  • Decide when to move: When is your rent up? Are you allowed to lease? All of these factors will help you determine when you should move.
  • Long term approach: Are you considering an initial 'nest' flat/home with plans to shift in a few years, or do you plan to stay in this home for a longer period? This decision may decidethe kind of home you buy as well as the type of loan terms that will best suit you.
