Seven things to check before you buy resale property
A practical checklist for first-time buyers navigating documentation and pricing on resale homes across Delhi NCR.
1. Verify the title of the property
Ask for the last 12 years of title documents and a certified copy of the latest khata. A quick title search report from an advocate gives you far more protection than relying on the builder word.
2. Check all approvals
Completion certificates matter, but so do sanction plans and the occupancy certificate.
3. Confirm RERA registration status
Every project registered under UP RERA must carry a registration number visible in the brochure and the agreement.
4. No-dues certificates
Make sure there are no pending society maintenance dues attached to the flat.
5. Verify the chain of ownership
Verify both the previous sale deeds and ensure stamp duty was paid each time.
6. Funds flow must be traceable
Payments should go to the bank account with clear MOU references. Avoid cash payments.
7. Check parking and society corpus
Confirm what is included in the sale — parking rights, storage, and the corpus contribution.
Final word
Resale in Noida can be a great investment when due diligence is done right.
- Always get a written possession timeline
- Keep copies of every signed document
- Visit the property at different times of day before you commit
