Things to Know Before Buying Property in Karnataka

List of things we need to know before buying property, flats or house.

• Price

Price will be always taken as the major factor to decide the range of our lower & upper limit. We need to think and plan about it advance. Else it will deal with problem with your daily expense which much needed to live easy going life.

• Basic cost / Parking cost/ Maintenance cost/ Amenities cost/ Registration cost/ VAT/Legal Charges

You need to calculate the individual cost for each factor. Basic cost, parking cost & Registration cost. Check & verify the calculated value with the price mentioned by the builder. Generally maintenance cost 2 years will be considered by a builder. After that committee, a member will decide the price. It will around 1-3 rs per square feet.

• Check the Titles of the properties whether it is OK or any queries are to be rectified?

• Floor plan

Check everything in a floor plan, Room size, shape; dimensions and co-relate it with your available furniture. The floor plan should be such that you should get enough ventilation & lighting. There should be balcony & utility area to get proper space. You need to check the entrance facing for the flat. Check Dining space, kitchen space, bathroom size. Drawing room should be large enough to accommodate your household stuff. Light is most important in drawing room as you will spend your most of the time in a Drawing room.
Check whether the plan is approved by competent authority.
You will get the service or facility according to approval from the government. It is important to have water, electricity facility. It is very important to obtain the completion certificate from the competent authority before the possession of the property is to be obtained.

• Utility area

Utility Area should have the width more than 3.5 feet.

• Balcony

Ideally you need to have the balcony in each bedroom. but It will add additional cost. each builder & buyer will not prefer to have the balcony. many people even don't need it or use it. So in such cases it is not required to have the balcony and you can make the room larger. As said with utility area size, here also balcony width should be more than 3.5 or 4 feet. So probably two to three person can sit to relax and see the outside activity. Outside view of the balcony is very much important. Many builders are charging premier charges for the balcony view only. They will charge per square feet area. So if it really matters to you then diffidently you need to check this carefully. If outside view is swimming pool, shopping mall, open nature area, park, garden, children play area. or anything attractive then this can be considered as the good view.

• Ventilation

You need to see the ventilation area and size of the ventilation area, duct area which can give you more ventilation. If ventilation area size is not big then you will not get sunlight in your home. A good builder will only give more space for ventilation area. The construction Quality & price will differ here for the same square feet area. You need to consider the duct and OTS area placed in between different walls. Check for the duct area size in a bathroom.

• Lighting

Sunlight will automatically come if a builder has provided good ventilation. In 3 BHK, it is difficult to provide lighting in each room if ventilation & OTS area is not planned properly.

• Payment method & schedule or payment

• Location – Locality

Locality is the most important part to decide your house. You need to check the near and surrounding area before buying. The choice will vary from person to person. General view says that family people will prefer to be in the complete residential area while bachelor and students will prefer to live near to the market area where everything is easy to access. Locality should match with your current status. If people from the same background or field are living in that area then it is preferred. Please check the neighbors near by to your property - class of people, family members, a number of children, cast, region and their nature for amicable and happy livelihood. So that our living will not affect adversely.

• Inner Road size

Inner road size will play the important role while you are shifting your language to your house or if someone is coming to your location. Road size should be big enough to handle the movement of 3 to 4 cars. Road should be proper else during rain it will create mud. There should not be slop.

• Distance from Main Road

We need to take off this distance as it will decide traffic issue. It will also decide auto, bus, taxi access. It should not be more than 3km. It traffic to nearby streets is high then we need take this into account.

• Water facility

Water is a basic need of all people. We can not survive without water. So if water is not coming daily you will struggle on the daily basis. Additionally it will cost you extra amount to bring water to your place. If you are living in Bangalore then check the availability of Kaveri water availability.
Check the number of bores well in a property against the number of flats or houses.

• Build Quality / Condition of the Building

It is highly recommended to check the builder name & quality of finished projects. It is required to finished 2/3 projects minimum. Do online research about the builder. check the review, rating of the builder. Make a list of opinion with pros and cons. clarify this with the builder in written.
