There are builders and then there are ethical business houses that are committed to deliver finest homes to live and recreate. Fake one’s are those who make false promises just to sell the property as soon as possible and never look back as in what conditions the residents are. Without making it lengthy lets jump on to what 5 things you must consider before buying a flat or villa.
- Low Maintenance Cost – Every housing society/project charge a certain amount for building maintenance and residents need to pay in order to keep things working. Reputed builders usually charge Rs 1.5 to Rs 2.00 per square feet monthly or annually depending on society norms and size of the premises but, builders who are not very subtle and thinks every service as a money making tactic charge much higher sometime 3 to 5 rupees per sq. ft or they ask you to simple pay a lump sum amount and forget about per sq. ft rates etc. when you are buying a flat or villa. Never fall into this trap, always make sure the maintenance is below 2 rupees, in this way you will be able to live in a maintained premises without paying too much.
- Working Amenities – Builders claim various amenities on brochures and there marketing campaigns like swimming pool, club house and what not however, when it comes to deliver they usually they make amenities just for the sake of keep their word on the other hand reputed builders make sure the residents get what is promised. They not only give all the promised amenities but also make sure to give best in class so that the residents shall use and enjoy them for years to come.
TIP: When buying a flat or villa in a project make sure to visit the previous projects of the builder and experience the amenities first hand and get assured what you can expect in yours.
- Adequate water supply: Builders commit that there will be no shortage of water in your building and keep up their words until there are fewer occupants in the premises but as the occupancy increases by the time the requirement of water increases gradually and then life becomes a nightmare for the residents. When buying a flat or villa always make sure that there will be adequate water supply forever and you do not have to rely on water tankers/suppliers for daily water needs. There must be at least a government water supply line or multiple tube-wells in the project to keep water supply steady for years to come.
- Dedicated Sewage Treatment: Before buying a flat or villa in any project another important factor to consider is to have an in-house STP as its illegal to dispose your waste water to open lands in Rajasthan and most of other provinces. A dedicated sewage management is of utmost importance in any project otherwise you end up paying for waste management from your pocket or worst you might have to live with a foul smell all the time.
- Resident Welfare Association : Many a times the builders charge a onetime Interest free maintenance charge and make a fund out of it, handing it over to the resident welfare society which in turn utilize that fund for maintenance and adding facilities in the premises. Having said that, most of the builder never make any resident welfare society and instead use the money for personal and keep making false promises to the residents.
To conclude, before you make up your mind in buying a flat or villa always take into consideration the reputation of the builder, his previous projects, the quality of construction, promises he made and actual delivery among various other points as discussed above.
