Mumbai: The much-awaited auspicious time of the year is here, when people look forward to spending money on several items, especially gold and homes.

Checklist
Offering a word of caution, property experts suggest homebuyers should always do a background check. Mudassir Zaidi, executive director-North of Knight Frank India remarked, “The method to buy a property remains the same.
One should not get swayed unnecessarily by the festive offers. The basic ground work and research has to be done properly and deciding basis festive offers should be over and above the selection criteria.
Moreover, the best idea should be homebuyers look for straight forward effective discount deals rather than any deal that involves any financial jugglery.”
He suggested a purchasing an underconstruction property should first check if it is RERA compliant, followed by checks like information on project approvals, construction status, developer back ground and if there is any ongoing cases in National Company Law Tribunal and real estate regulatory authority.
