5 Things to Check Before Buying an Apartment in Chennai

5 Things to Check Before Buying an Apartment in Chennai

Buying an apartment is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make. Here are five things every home buyer in Chennai should verify before signing on the dotted line.

1. RERA Registration

Always confirm the project is registered with TNRERA and check the promised possession date on the RERA portal.

2. Builder Track Record

Visit at least one completed project by the same builder and speak with existing residents about build quality and after-sales service.

3. Locality Growth

Look at upcoming infrastructure -- metro extensions, IT parks and arterial roads -- which drive both liveability and resale value.

4. Approved Plans and Title

Ask for the approved building plan, patta and encumbrance certificate, and have a lawyer verify the title chain.

5. Total Cost of Ownership

Factor in maintenance charges, property tax and association fees, not just the sale price per square foot.
