A ready-to-move visit is different from a launch visit: there is no show flat to charm you and no render to argue with. What you see is what you buy. That is an advantage — if you look at the right things. Print this list or keep it open on your phone.
Inside the apartment
- Walk every room with the sanctioned floor plan in hand and check that walls, windows and balconies match.
- Look for seepage marks on ceilings, especially below bathrooms and on the top floor.
- Open every tap and flush every toilet; check water pressure on the highest floor of the tower.
- Check the electrical panel for a labelled distribution board and confirm the sanctioned load.
- Test doors, windows and sliding balcony doors for alignment and locks.
- Note the direction the main balcony faces and the time of day you visited — light changes everything.
- Measure one room yourself and compare it with the plan.
- Ask whether modular kitchen, wardrobes, ACs or fittings are included in the price.
The tower and the society
- Ride the lift; count how many serve the tower and whether one is a service lift.
- Check the power backup capacity per apartment and the diesel cost recovery.
- Ask for the monthly maintenance rate per square foot and what it covers.
- Look at the basement parking — allotted slots, lighting, drainage.
- Walk into the clubhouse and see which facilities are actually running.
- Read the society notice board: it tells you about disputes, dues and upcoming repairs.
- Ask how many units are owner-occupied versus rented.
- Check the water source — municipal supply, tankers or borewell — and the treatment plant.
The neighbourhood
- Drive from the gate to your office at the time you would normally leave.
- Locate the nearest hospital with an emergency ward, the nearest school and a daily-needs market.
- Check the approach road width and whether it floods in the monsoon (ask a guard, not a broker).
- Look at what is under construction next door and how tall it will be.
Documents to ask for before you leave
- Occupancy certificate (OC) or completion certificate for the tower.
- RERA registration number, if the project was registered.
- Copy of the sanctioned building plan for the unit.
- Latest maintenance bill and a no-dues confirmation (for resale).
- The seller's title document and the chain of previous transfers (for resale).
