FAQs

Most buyers start with site visits without understanding their needs. This leads to confusion and poor decision-making because they compare projects without a clear purpose.

A good location supports daily life, reduces commuting stress, improves long-term value, and ensures better livability. Amenities can be added later—but location cannot be changed.

Your real budget must include base price, floor-rise, PLC, parking, club charges, GST, registry, maintenance deposit, and lease rent—not just the advertised price per sq. ft.

Headline pricing hides loading, maintenance quality, and long-term costs. A slightly higher-priced project may offer better value due to superior layout, facilities, and construction quality.

Extremely important. A strong developer ensures timely delivery, good construction, and post-possession support. A weak developer increases risk, delays, and stress.

Amenities are secondary. A practical, well-ventilated floor plan matters more because you spend every day inside your home—not the clubhouse.

Define your purpose (end-use/investment), list must-haves, understand family needs for 5–10 years, and finalize your budget. This prevents emotional or impulsive decisions.

Check room sizes, ventilation, privacy, natural light, furniture placement, and tower placement (noise, view, heat exposure). These determine long-term comfort.

Verify RERA details, check past deliveries, understand actual pricing, cross-verify amenities, and focus on planning instead of glossy brochures or show flats.

The recommended steps include: defining needs → fixing budget → selecting locations → shortlisting developers → evaluating floor plans → cross-checking pricing → legal verification → final site visit → confident decision.
