BBuying your first home can feel overwhelming. This guide walks you through budgeting, location selection, site visits, and documentation so you can purchase with confidence.

From getting pre‑approved to final registration, we cover practical steps, key checklists, and expert tips to help you avoid common mistakes and secure the right property at the right price.

Budgeting and Loan Pre‑Approval

Define total budget including down payment, stamp duty, registration, GST (if applicable), brokerage, and interior setup. Obtain a bank pre‑approval to know your eligibility and lock better rates.

Choosing Location and Property Type

Shortlist areas based on commute, social infrastructure, future development plans, and safety. Decide between ready‑to‑move vs under‑construction, apartment vs plot vs villa depending on lifestyle and appreciation goals.

Site Visit, Technical and Legal Due Diligence

Inspect construction quality, ventilation, common areas, and parking. Verify title, encumbrance, RERA registration, approved plans, NOCs, and builder reputation before token payment.
