Construction Quality

Check for the wiring, plumbing, wall thickness, and flooring. Take a look at the specifications list and check the quality of raw materials used. Make sure that only premium materials are used for construction without compromising on quality.

Amenities

Check the complete list of amenities, which is a major part of the apartment buying checklist. Check whether the modern features are useful for the buyers, and check whether there is a 24/7 water supply and power supply. Make sure that there are enough safety features like CCTV, and 24/7security guards.

Builder's Track Record

Make sure to buy from a reputable builder and try to explore their previous track record. Make sure that they finish the project correctly on time. Check reviews from existing customers on online forums.

Apartment Layout

The main point to check in the flat buying checklist is the layout. Check for the Carpet Area vs. Super Built-up Area vs Built-up Area. Check whether it is based on Vaastu so that it will have a high resale value. Check for air flow and natural light inside the flat.

Additional Costs

Confirms what all extra costs will be added, including stamp duty charges, registration charges, and GST. Also, check the parking charges, advance maintenance charges to be paid and the floor rise charges.

Undivided Share (UDS) of Land

UDS is the legal share of the land, and it is a major factor during resale. If there are more UDS, there will be more land value. UDS is mentioned in the sale deed, and have a look at it.

Maintenance and Association Rules

Ask about the Monthly maintenance fees. Also, verify who maintains the common areas? Confirm about the Garbage disposal and housekeeping methods.

Salary slips
IT returns
PAN
Aadhaar
Bank statements
KYC documents
