Choosing Real Estate Developers in Pune: A 10-Point Due-Diligence Checklist


Before you book a flat in Pune, run the developer through these ten checks — from MahaRERA and land title to cost sheets, construction updates and handover.

Choosing Real Estate Developers in Pune: A 10-Point Due-Diligence Checklist

Pune is a city of careful homebuyers. Most people take time, consult people they trust, and want to be sure a home fits their life before they commit. That instinct is right — and this checklist turns it into a process you can use with any of the real estate developers in Pune you are considering.

1. Verify the MahaRERA registration

Search the project on the official MahaRERA portal. Confirm the registration number, promoter name, project address, proposed completion date and the number of units registered.

2. Read the quarterly progress updates

Registered projects publish construction progress on the portal. Compare what is reported with what you see on site.

3. Check land title and approvals

Ask for the title report and key approvals (commencement certificate and sanctioned plans). If you are taking a home loan, your bank’s legal team will also review these — but it is worth asking upfront.

4. Compare on RERA carpet area

Price per square foot means little unless you know which area it refers to. Compare projects on RERA carpet area — the usable floor area of your home.

5. Get an all-inclusive cost sheet

Ask for every component in writing: base price, parking, GST where applicable, stamp duty and registration, maintenance deposit, society formation and legal charges. A transparent developer will not hesitate.

6. Understand the payment plan

Construction-linked plans tie your payments to actual progress. Make sure the milestones in your agreement are clear and measurable.

7. Visit completed projects

See how the developer’s finished buildings have aged. Maintenance of common areas, lift quality and resident feedback tell you more than any sample flat.

8. Evaluate the location at your times

Drive to the site on a weekday at the hour you would commute. Check routes to work, school and hospital — not just the distances printed on the map.

9. Ask how you will be kept informed

Will you receive construction updates? Is there one point of contact? Calm, consistent communication during construction is a strong signal of a reliable developer.

10. Clarify handover and after-sales

Ask about possession procedures, defect liability, society formation and maintenance handover. These shape your experience for years after the keys.
