[ What You Will Learn ]

Chapter overview

01

Understanding your needs and budget

Define what you really need in a home versus what is nice to have. Learn how to set a realistic budget that accounts for registration charges, GST, maintenance deposits, and interior costs beyond the base price.

02

Researching locations and builders

How to shortlist localities based on your workplace, lifestyle, and growth potential. Evaluate builders by their track record, delivery history, construction quality, and after-sales reputation.

03

RERA verification and legal checks

Step-by-step guide to checking RERA registration, reading the agreement for sale, verifying land title, encumbrance certificates, and ensuring the project has all required approvals.

04

Site visits - what to look for

A practical checklist for site visits: construction quality indicators, comparing model flat versus actual unit, evaluating amenities, checking water and electricity provisions, and assessing the neighbourhood.

05

Loan eligibility and EMI planning

Understand how banks calculate your home loan eligibility, the documents you need, how to compare interest rates, and how to plan your EMIs so they do not stretch your finances.

06

Negotiation and booking process

Learn what is negotiable (and what is not) when buying from a developer. Understand booking amounts, payment schedules, construction-linked plans, and how to read the fine print before signing.

07

Registration and possession

The final steps: stamp duty and registration process in Karnataka, pre-possession inspection checklist, taking possession, and what to do if the builder delays delivery.
