Choosing the wrong developer can mean delayed possession, unclear documents, and hidden costs. Use this 10-point checklist to buy smart and safe.
Verify the MahaRERA number on the official website. Avoid projects with 'under process' status or missing registration details.
Ask for a title report and CIDCO allotment clarity. Avoid unclear PAP plots or missing ownership chains. Get legal review before paying.
Ensure the Commencement Certificate covers the floor you are buying. Don’t risk booking if approval is only for lower floors.
Check if the building has an Occupancy Certificate or a clear timeline. Don’t settle for 'fit-out possession' without an OC.
Tour at least two older projects by the same developer. Check for leaks, cracks, lift issues, and overall maintenance quality.
Ask about possession delays, hidden charges, water, parking, and developer response to complaints. Real feedback beats online reviews.
Request a signed, all-inclusive cost sheet. Clarify parking, PLC, GST, and hidden charges before paying any token amount.
Verify if the society is formed and conveyance is done. Avoid buildings still controlled by the builder years after completion.
