5 Things to Know Before Buying a House of Flat From the Builder

5 Things to Know before Purchasing a house or flat from the Builder

by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Property investment

Are you planning to buy your dream house? Have you made the final choice for your ideal home and just left with signing of the house agreement? Is your home loan approved? Are you also done with all the other major formalities?

If the answer to the above questions is a yes, which makes you think that half of your burden is gone and the things ahead will go on in a smooth and orderly fashion, then you actually need to rethink.

I say this because, even with the major work done, one still has the big task of protecting his/ her dream coming true, from the legal traps of the builder. In such a scenario, some points that need to be remembered and certain measures that should be taken against those tricks.

  • Actual selling price of the house:

    According to the property agreement, the buyer is required to bear the purchase price of the house. This cost includes the utility expenses such as water, electricity, parking, various taxes levied, and registration costs too, at times. The builder might also impose certain extra charges on any of these thereafter.

  • Alert Tips:

    • One should read the agreement thoroughly and check for all details in the agreement including all the charges applicable.
    • Get the agreement verified by a lawyer for any hidden charges, and get the same rectified (if any).
    • In case of builder asking for altering the original plan, ask for the approval from the government authorities in the form of a sanction letter.

    Actual size of house:

    In your house agreement, the size of the house is clearly stated, but it will also contain a clause stating that the plans, design and specifications to be temporary, with the developer reserving the sole right to make any changes. So, you never know if you will actually get the same size for which you agreed upon.

    Watchful Tips:

    • It is suggested to do some research on the builder’s earlier projects, before going further with any kind of deal.
    • It will also be beneficial to have a discussion with other buyers, who have already got the possession, about the kind of problems faced by them.
    • One can also try to include a clause from his side in the agreement about the minimum and maximum size beyond which the size cannot be increased or decreased by the builder.
  • The Carpet Area:

    The area of an apartment excluding the wall area is termed as the carpet area. This is the area where the carpet can be laid. Then, there is the built-up area which includes area of walls and the balcony, and the carpet area. This built-up area, along with common areas such as lifts, lobby, staircase, gardens, pool, etc. is termed as the super built-up area.

  • Tips:

    • Always buy a property based on its carpet area.
    • Always ensure that area is mentioned in the agreement papers.
    • Try and include a clause for contract termination, in case builder provides a house with a lesser carpet area than mentioned in the contract.

    Possession Date:

    The agreement will generally have a tentative date of house possession. Although, there have been instances where the possession date mentioned has been delayed for more than a year.

    Tips:

    • Check the construction progress often, and in person.
    • If you find the progress slow compared to what it should have been, which might delay your possession date, one can always pressurize the builder.
    • Also, forming a society with other buyers might also help in getting the things speed up at the builder’s end.

    Certificate of Completion:

    The builder is also supposed to provide a completion certificate, while handling the house to you. This certificate is issued by the municipal authorities, which is an establishment of the compliance with the approved plan. This certificate is required for house registration and other legal formalities.

      Tips:

    • Always ensure that the agreement either states about the certificate or has a clause stating the builder’s liability to provide the certificate.
    • If the builder delays in the process of providing the certificate, do pressurize him with other buyers.

    Apart from the above mentioned, there are also certain other things that needs to be taken care of, such as: management of society, construction material quality and durability, etc. which should be clarified with the builder before making any agreement.

    For this purpose, one can even try adding certain clauses in the agreement for the builder to agree to your demands. Also, because there is no industry regulator for such constraints, the best way to handle such issues is to remain alert and aware of your requirements and acquisitions.

    I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

    I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

    I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

    I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

    I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
