Legal title is one axis of due diligence. Whether the property is physically and practically what it's advertised to be is a separate one — and it's the one a site visit, not a lawyer, actually answers. Work through this before you book.
Carpet area versus advertised area
Under RERA, sale must be quoted on carpet area, not the older, larger-sounding "super built-up area." Ask specifically for the carpet area figure and, where possible, measure a similar completed/sample unit yourself rather than relying on the brochure number alone.
The unit or plot you'll actually get, not the showcased one
Sample flats and show plots are frequently the best-positioned unit in a project. Ask to see the floor plan and physical location of the specific unit/plot number you'd be booking, and where possible visit it directly rather than extrapolating from the display unit.
Amenities — completed versus promised
Distinguish clearly between amenities that exist today and ones shown only in renders or master plans. Ask for a written commitment with a timeline on anything not yet built, since verbal promises about future clubhouse, park, or security infrastructure aren't enforceable the way a written agreement clause is.
Utility connections — water, power, sewage
Confirm the actual, current status of water supply, electricity connection, and sewage/drainage for the specific plot or unit — particularly important for standalone plots and farmhouse land outside dense urban infrastructure, where "connection available nearby" and "connected" are meaningfully different claims.
Road access and its actual width/condition
Verify the access road width and surface matches what's shown in marketing material — this affects both livability and resale value, and is easy to overstate in early-stage marketing before roads are fully developed.
Neighbouring land use
Check what's actually planned or already present on adjoining parcels — an industrial zone, a planned highway, or a different-density development next door can materially affect a residential purchase in ways a project's own marketing won't mention.
Structural and finish quality, for ready or near-ready units
For a ready or nearly-complete unit, physically inspect for visible cracks, water seepage, and finish quality — don't rely solely on renders for a unit that already exists and can be seen.
What's actually included in the quoted price
Get a full, itemized written breakdown — base price, floor rise/PLC charges, parking, club membership, GST, registration and stamp duty, maintenance deposit — before comparing prices across projects or committing. A lower headline price with more add-ons can end up costing more than a higher all-inclusive one.
