A practical buying process for a new home

Write down the budget you can live with, the locations that work, the home size you need, and when you want to move.

Include your down payment, monthly comfort, commute, and any firm requirements. A clear brief makes trade-offs easier to see.

Compare carpet area, total price, possession timing, maintenance expectations, location, and what the price includes.

Keep verified facts separate from estimates and sales claims. Record the question behind every number you plan to confirm.

Check the project on the relevant RERA portal and collect the registration details, approvals, plans, and stated completion information.

Before you sign, ask an independent property lawyer to review title documents and the agreement for sale. A portal record does not replace legal review.

Use the visit to check the actual approach road, light, ventilation, construction progress, common areas, and the unit you may buy.

Ask what is included, what is payable later, how possession is defined, and which promises will appear in writing.

Get the full price breakup, payment schedule, taxes, charges, cancellation terms, and specifications in writing before paying a booking amount.

After the agreement, keep the loan, registration, receipts, possession documents, and snag list together. Confirm the latest information at each step.
