Absolutely agree with all of you guys but before putting your hard earned money in a residential housing project, it is important that you check and enquire about the builders credibility. Also check
1.The project approvals.
2.Being a buyer you have all the right to demand for documents associated with approvals procured from the local authorities.
3.Mother deed
4. Khata extraction

One should strictly check legal issue related to the project. Property transaction comes along with legalities which is sometimes very difficult to understand. Legal experts are the one that help you with the legal issue titles such as No-objection certificate, transferable title, a record of right and title, stamp duty charges, tax, and many more.

Healthy discussion hmm ... I think all are right so one should note it down all basic information about project, locality, builder and developer and also liveability. Buyers should consider the liveability factor of a particular locality prior to making an investment. It is not only the nearby schools, hospitals, malls and grocery stores that helps in making decision. Rather, the amenities and facilities available within the residential housing project matters a lot.

Hi all,one of the most complicated aspects of property buying is Selecting a right location. Every buyer has their own set of preferences like
1. Distance to work space.
2. school, malls, bus stops, metro station, etc.
It is extremely essential that the area is well-connected to the other parts of the city. As a buyer, you need to identify the right location that match well with your needs.

Hi Subhajit, I think that you should not stick with one option rather go explore various types of housing options under different brand names. This will help you get a better understanding of the market to make the best property decision.

Hi Joseph, Salt Lake and New Town, Rajarhat in Kolkata have always been highly preferred localities to buy and rent. Both localities are well-established and offer multiple new and ready to move in housing options.

Thanks Priya, As per my knowledge Garia, Behala and Tollygunge are offering the highest number of new residential projects supply. Lots of options with various budget range and configuration of residential units. Buyers and investors have the luxury of preference of new and under-construction projects in this location.
