High-value properties need careful checks. Use this 10-step checklist to choose a safe and reliable real estate developer before booking a flat.
Check if the project is registered on MahaRERA. Confirm active status, uploaded documents, and declared possession date before paying any token money.
Ensure the Commencement Certificate covers your floor and Occupancy Certificate is available before possession. Avoid fit-out possession without OC.
Ask for clear CIDCO allotment, transfer, or freehold documents. Don’t accept vague answers about land history or CIDCO transfer charges.
Inspect older buildings by the developer. Check for leakage, parking quality, lift performance, and society handover status.
Request a detailed cost sheet with all charges—parking, GST, stamp duty, registration, maintenance, and any CIDCO/NMMC fees. Avoid verbal promises.
Ask residents about possession delays, OC status, maintenance issues, and society formation. Repeated complaints are a warning sign.
Visit the site. Check for active work, site safety, and progress. See actual flats, not just sample units Inspect common areas for quality.
Verify title clearance, CC, OC, approved plans, and agreement for sale before paying. Get clarity on leasehold, freehold, and transfer charges.
