What to check before you book a site visit

In short: A good site visit starts before you leave home. A few minutes of checks up front saves you from visits that were never going to fit your budget, commute, or timeline.

Confirm the basics on paper first

• Legal status: the RERA registration and approved plan.
• Developer track record: past projects and whether they were delivered on time.
• Real budget fit: the all-in cost, not just the base price, including charges and taxes.
• Possession timeline: when the project is actually expected to be ready.

Map the location against your life

A home is only as good as its daily reality. Before visiting, check the commute to where you work or study at the times you actually travel, and look at what is nearby for daily needs such as groceries, schools, and healthcare.

Prepare your questions

• What is included in the quoted price, and what is extra?
• What is the maintenance cost after possession?
• Which unit, floor, and facing are actually available?
• What is the payment schedule, and is it linked to construction stages?
