Road access
Check physical access, usable width and the legal/documented basis of access. A road that looks wide in front of the plot is not the whole story.
PROPERTY EDUCATION
Before you buy,
learn what can go wrong.
Short, practical buyer guides for land, houses, documents and engineering. Written as a decision tool — not SEO filler.
01
BUYING LAND
Do not buy land by price per Aana alone.
A cheaper plot can become expensive if road access, retaining, slope, drainage or setbacks reduce what you can actually build.
Boundary + dimensions
Compare physical boundaries with available cadastral information. Irregular shape can reduce an otherwise attractive area figure.
Slope + drainage
Retaining walls, cut-and-fill work and water movement can materially change the development cost.
Orientation
Sun, access direction, neighbouring buildings and frontage all affect the future house plan.
Utilities
Ask what is actually available for water, electricity, drainage and service routing rather than assuming from nearby construction.
Buildability
Before purchase, consider likely setbacks and the usable footprint for the type of house you intend to build.
02
BUYING A HOUSE
Fresh paint is not a structural report.
Look at the home as a system: structure, water, electrical, plumbing, access, approvals and future maintenance.
Visible cracks
Not every crack is serious, but pattern, location and movement matter. If in doubt, get a qualified engineer to inspect.
Water ingress
Inspect terraces, roof edges, bathrooms, exterior walls and lower floors for staining, dampness or repair evidence.
Electrical
Review distribution, visible wiring, earthing and capacity rather than relying only on whether lights switch on.
Plumbing + drainage
Pressure, drainage speed, leakage, wet-area detailing and waste routing can become expensive after handover.
Approvals + drawings
Ask what approved drawings and building documentation are available and whether later alterations match them.
Daily usability
Road width, turning, parking, stairs, light and ventilation matter every day after the excitement of purchase fades.
03
DOCUMENTS
The paperwork should match the property.
A web listing is an introduction, not proof. Ownership, boundaries, tax status, access and approvals should be independently verified.
01Ownership / Lalpurja
Review the documents presented and confirm them through the appropriate professional and authority process.
02Cadastral trace / boundary
Paper boundaries and the physical site should be compared, especially before design or construction begins.
03Tax / payment records
Ask for relevant payment information and verify current obligations before committing.
04Road / access basis
Do not assume that visible access automatically resolves legal or dimensional access questions.
05Building approvals
For houses, review available approval documents and drawings, especially when additions or modifications are visible.
04
ENGINEERING
Know the site before you fall in love with the design.
Engineering input can reveal whether a property is practical, expensive to develop or poorly suited to your intended home.
Setbacks + footprint
The usable building area can be very different from the total land area.
Slope + retaining
A sloped site can be beautiful but may require more structural and drainage work.
Development before construction
Site preparation can change your project budget before the building starts.
Inspect before purchase
An engineer can help separate cosmetic defects from issues that deserve deeper investigation.
