What to check on a site visit

A site visit is your best chance to see beyond the brochure. Take this list with you, and do not hesitate to ask for documents.

Before you go

• Look up the project's registration on rera.bihar.gov.in and note its declared timeline.
• Ask for the approved plans and the carpet area of the homes you are interested in.

On site

• Orientation, light and ventilation: where does the sun fall through the day, and how do the rooms feel?
• Carpet area: confirm it against the plan, and ask what is included.
• Water and drainage: ask about the water source, storage and drainage arrangements.
• Construction quality: look at finishes, materials and workmanship in completed areas.
• Amenities: which are already built, and when will the rest be ready?
• Parking and access: how will you reach your home and park each day?

Around the site

• Visit at different times of day to judge traffic, noise and light.
• Time your commute, and note schools, hospitals and markets nearby.

Before you commit

• Read the agreement for sale carefully, including the payment plan and the possession date.
• Keep receipts and written confirmation of everything you are promised.
