Well-Known Builders

Mumbai happens to be one of the better-planned cities in the world. Owing to that, there is no shortage of options for builders. You can gauge the trustworthiness of the chosen builder by checking if the builder has received financial assistance from banks. If the banks cleared them for a loan, it means that they are trustworthy as banks carry out a thorough background check before lending.

Size of Property

It is possible that what you see in the brochure is the truth, but not complete. It is common for shortcomings to occur in the carpet area when you compare it with the built up area before the project even started. An ideal thing that you can do is going with the carpet area.

Other than investors, not many people buy a home to sell. But you never know what the future holds. Thus, you may have to let go of it in case of an unfortunate turn of events.

The better and developed the locality, the better the chances of selling at good rates.

Also, one should be able to remodel the property. To sell a home at good rates, you might have to remodel and for this, the area it covers should be spacious. So, location is the first thing the buyer pays attention to. Then comes the amenities. Getting a house with abundant amenities, such as a gym, swimming pool, modern lifts, excellent lighting, spa, etc. help with boosting the resale value.

Ready Reckoner Rate

RR is used to calculate the market value of flats and apartments for stamp duty and registration charges by the government. This rate tends to vary based on the size and location of the property in the city.

The Documentation

You must maintain the title deeds of the property purchase. The property has to comply with the rules and regulations as per Maharashtra’s government. Documentation happens to be a tedious and lengthy process generally. Try hiring a lawyer for that.

Make sure that you pay attention to hidden costs. Since buying a home is one of the most important decisions of one’s life, many are willing to go that extra mile so they can get a profitable property. However, it is difficult to deal with hidden costs that add to your planned expenditure.

Normally, the initial cost estimation that a real estate agent provides does not have add-ons that raise the budget as high as 25%.All in all, finding the best residential projects in Mumbai is a tiring and time-consuming task. However, with prior planning and research, you can be successful.
