Builder projects and apartments

On a primary transaction the developer pays the channel-partner brokerage, so it costs you nothing extra. On resale, brokerage is 1 per cent of the transaction value, moving with the size and complexity of the deal, agreed in writing before we start.

Search the project name or registration number on the UP RERA portal. It shows the registered completion date, the promoter and the approved details. Do this before you pay a booking amount, not after.

Sometimes, at the right discount, if the reason it stalled is fixable and the buyer has the patience. Usually not. We will give you our honest read rather than the one that closes a deal.

Noida. It is the deepest project market in the district and most of the supply is completed and occupied, which makes resale straightforward. Greater Noida gives the best balance of price and delivery. The YEIDA corridor has the fewest delivered projects, so the developer record matters more there than anywhere else.

The registered completion date is on the UP RERA portal, which is exactly why you check it before you book rather than after. If a project runs past it, the remedies available to an allottee are a legal question and you should take it to a lawyer. What we can do is tell you the developer past record before you are in that position.

They become your problem. Unpaid authority dues on project land have stalled registries across this district, which means completed flats that owners cannot get registered in their own names. Check the position on the project land before you book, not when your registry is due.

On top of that there is usually a transfer charge payable to the builder, and whatever is still outstanding to the builder from the seller. Establish all three in writing before the token.

Neither. We are not tied to any developer and we do not run an exclusive list. That is the point: an agent with exclusive inventory has a reason to sell you that inventory. Ask us who we actually transact with on the project you are looking at and we will tell you plainly, including where we have no relationship at all.

Look at what they have completed, not what they have launched. How late each project ran against its registered date, whether occupancy certificates came through, and what buyers who moved in say now. The UP RERA portal gives you the registered dates and the promoter details. The rest is legwork, and we do it before we send you anything.

Ready costs more and removes the delivery risk entirely, because you can stand in the actual flat on the actual floor. Under construction costs less and pays you for carrying the risk. On a delayed project, resale is frequently cheaper than primary, because the seller wants out and the developer does not.
