So finally you are going to live your dream. You have either saved enough or have come across a windfall which enables you to make the down payment to book a flat. However, seasoned buyers would tell you that this is when your nightmare begins. Buying property, especially if it is your first, is a process which will consume your time, energy and of course your money. Quite often shortlisting specific properties wouldn’t be only your decision. It would be a decision which you would take along with your family. So what are the reasons which make the search for properties challenging? :
- Firstly it becomes difficult to determine the track record of a builder as there are so many builders sprouting up these days
- To ensure you are taking the right decision, your family and you would have to visit several properties. This is tiring activity and you would also end up checking out properties which you could have done with not visiting.
- You may get the best deal in projects which are under construction. The builder might have also kept a show flat on offer. But the sample flat may be located in the best possible part of the building and it may not offer a perspective on how it would be like to live in other parts or floors of the building.
- You may not be aware of how the entire society would shape up to be like
