Developer reputation provides context, but purchase decisions should be based on project-specific analysis.
Verify RERA Registration
Confirm the project is registered with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency. Check the escrow account details and verify that payments are directed to the registered account.
Review Construction Progress
For off-plan purchases, assess current construction status against announced timelines. Site visits and independent progress reports can provide insight into delivery likelihood.
Compare Pricing
Obtain recent transaction data for comparable properties in the same area. Consider both developer pricing and secondary market transactions for completed units.
Assess Location Fundamentals
Evaluate transport access, proximity to employment centers, schools, and retail. Consider infrastructure development plans and how they may affect the area over time.
Review Payment Terms
Understand the payment schedule, including post-handover obligations if applicable. Assess your ability to meet payment milestones under various scenarios.
Examine Community Plans
Review master plans for the community, including planned amenities and adjacent developments. Consider how future construction may affect views, access, or desirability.
