Red Flags
The 5 Red Flags to Watch Before Booking a Flat in Bangalore
Avoid costly mistakes. These five signs should make you pause before signing that booking form.
1. “Possession in 36 Months” — Without a Commencement CertificateMany projects launch with attractive visuals and launch offers — but no CC or RERA timeline. That means:No legal start to constructionNo guarantee on deliveryNo accountability if delayedAlways ask for the RERA number and CC before you pay a booking amount.2. “Pre-launch” Projects Without Any On-ground WorkIf the site still has rubble, weeds, or worse — it's not ready for launch. Many pre-launches are:Fundraising campaigns, not construction plansProne to delays or regulatory challengesPre-launch = higher risk. Only proceed if you trust the builder’s past performance.3. “Luxury Project” in a Congested LaneWhat you see on the brochure may look premium, but:Is the access road wide enough?Are there water or power issues in the area?Is the location surrounded by similar projects — or low-quality infrastructure?Location is not just the pin code. It’s liveability, access, and surroundings.4. Online Reviews Too Good to Be True?If you see 300 five-star reviews, all using the same phrases — it’s likely paid. Instead:Check Google Maps reviews for real construction updatesLook at YouTube vlogs or Telegram forums for buyer discussionsAsk for past project handover timelinesTrust, but verify.5. Discounts That Vanish OvernightUrgency is a sales tactic. But major discounts that vanish in 24 hours are red flags. Why?Good projects don’t rush buyersPrice increases are rarely overnight in real estateYou might be pressured into a decision you regret laterIf the deal expires tomorrow, walk away today.

Ready-to-Move or Under-Construction?
Ready-to-Move vs. Under-Construction Homes — What’s Right for You?
Each has pros and cons. We break it down so you can choose what’s right for your budget, timeline, and risk profile.
Ready-to-Move Homes: Pros & ConsAdvantages:1. No Waiting — You can move in or rent it out immediately.2. What You See Is What You Get — Inspect the actual flat, view, layout, and quality.3. No GST — As per current tax laws, ready homes do not attract GST.4. Immediate Savings — No double cost of rent + EMI.Challenges:1. Higher Upfront Cost — You may pay more per sq.ft. than under-construction.2. Fewer Choices — Limited floor/unit options.3. Older Inventory — If it's been unsold for long, ask why.Under-Construction Homes: Pros & ConsAdvantages:1. Lower Entry Price — Pre-launch or early-stage discounts available.2. Flexible Payment Plans — Pay as per construction-linked plans (CLP, Subvention, etc.) or famously called as milestone payments.3. Better Inventory — More unit types, orientations, and floors available.4. Appreciation Potential — Property value may grow by possession time.Challenges:1. Risk of Delay — Even projects registered under RERA may face construction or legal delays.2. Uncertain Final Product — Brochures and sample flats don’t always reflect the final finish.3. GST Applicable — 5% GST (without input credit) typically applies.
| S.No. | Feature | Ready-to-move | Under-Construction |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Possession | Immediate | 2–5 years |
| 2 | Price/ Sq. Ft | Higher | Lower |
| 3 | GST | No | 5% (typically) |
| 4 | Customization | None | Sometimes possible |
| 5 | Risk Level | Low | Moderate to High |
| 6 | Rental Yield | Immediate | Future value |
| 7 | EMI Impact | Immediate | Delayed (CLP helps) |
Expert Tip:If you're a first-time buyer living on rent, ready-to-move saves you stress. But if you’re investing for the long term and can wait, under-construction with a reputed builder may yield better returns.
