When we buy a property we buy it for a lifetime or as a long-term investment. One should be very careful while buying, so as to ensure uninterrupted enjoyment and possession. These are few important things to be kept in mind before investing on a property:
-
Thorough research in the market before you choose one property, so that you get the desired requirements within affordable price;
-
Get the Due Diligence/title search of the Property done, so as to verify the clear title and other legal aspects;
-
Survey done by the Official Surveyor;
-
Physical Inspection of the Property;
-
Check out the prevailing market rate of the property and negotiate on the price;
-
Engage a lawyer who can prepare conveyance deed and handle registration and stamp duty implications;
-
Ensure that the seller pays all the taxes and other dues before you buy the property and also collect those receipts;
-
Issue Public notice in any of the leading newspaper, to get objections from the public if any and ask Seller to get resolutions within agreed timelines;
-
Clarify with the Seller existence of any hidden costs involved;
-
Plan your budget and also apply for Loan from a nationalized bank, if required;
-
Look out for the connectivity of the property to multiple locations of your choice and need.
