Many people dream of buying a flat, which will cost their entire savings. Hence, it is essential that buyers make the right decision and find the right builder for a good-quality and affordable flat. Along with different things like location, accessibility, hospitals, and school availability, it is also important to visit the site before booking or buying the property.
Visiting the site will allow the buyer to check the land ownership and legal aspects of the site. Whether you’re looking for 2 BHK flats or 3 BHK flats in Kolkata, a site inspection is essential.
What to Look for During Site Inspection?
Before buying an apartment in any location in Kolkata, schedule a site inspection with the property’s builder. During the process, you must check a few parameters to ensure you’re buying the right property.
- Checking a sales deed
This is a core registered document which should be made between the buyer and seller of the property. If you’re buying it for the builder, read the terms and conditions of the deed properly before signing them. Again, if the builder bought the property from a previous landowner, you must also check the documents.
- Building plan document
There’s always a building plan with floor plans, designs, and layouts specifying the carpet area and the total area of the BHK flats. During the site inspection, you should review this document and discuss your queries with the builder.
- Check the no-objection certificate
Get an additional copy of the no-objection certificate from the environment department, local corporations, the electricity department, and the urban land ceiling department. These documents are proof that the property is legal and the construction work has been approved.
- Verify builder’s credentials
Before you finalise the builder, make sure that you check the credentials. You can do this during the site inspection. Verifying the builder’s general credentials is vital, as it will help you trust the builder’s work and gain valuable insight into past and current projects.
Why are site visits important during construction?
- Track progress
You can see the progress and activities when you visit the site for inspection during the construction project. If you want to keep track of the materials used for building construction, you’ll get an idea by checking the progress.
- Check the amenities
A builder will give you a list of probable amenities that you are supposed to get with the construction project. During a site inspection, you will check the construction of top-notch amenities like indoor and outdoor games, gyms, community halls, and separate playing areas. This will help you get an idea of the validity of the presence of amenities in the construction project.
- Monitoring adherence to the building plan
Major changes in the electrical lines and floor plans generally occur during construction. If you often visit for a site inspection, you can monitor the building plans and check whether the building is being constructed, keeping all legalities in mind.
- Understanding cost and maintenance
Site visits will help you gain real-time insights into the maintenance costs that might be incurred in the coming days to keep the top amenities under control. They will also help you understand the quality of construction.
