How to choose the best developer to build your home?
A few handy tips on zooming in on the perfect builder for the construction of your dream home
1 Undertake the entire construction yourself, which will involve consulting various professionals and hiring specialists for specific tasks.
2 The second option involves outsourcing the entire project to a construction firm or consultant. It then becomes their responsibility to hire skilled professionals to manage different aspects of the construction. You have one point of contact (the construction firm) and they will ensure that your dream home is actually realised and that too within the decided budget.
However, since this single point of contact will oversee the entire construction process, it is crucial to hire someone you not only trust but also have a thorough understanding of the task at hand. It is needless to say that you just cannot take chances with a place that you will be calling home and especially if you plan to live in it, can you?
So, how do you go about choosing the right builder to ensure you have your money’s worth and a beautiful, safe home too? We help you with a handy guide to choosing the right builder for your home.

When buying a 3BHK luxury apartment in Chennai - By using this checklist
When buying a 3BHK luxury apartment in Chennai, you’ll want to ensure the property meets both your practical needs and long-term investment goals. Here's a detailed checklist to guide you through the process:
1. Location
- Proximity to Key Areas: Ensure the apartment is near essential locations like your office, schools, hospitals, shopping malls, public transport, and recreational spots.
- Neighborhood: Check for the safety, ambiance, and development status of the locality. Popular upscale areas in Chennai include Adyar, Besant Nagar, Anna Nagar, T Nagar, and OMR.
- Access to Infrastructure: Evaluate road connectivity, public transport availability (metro, buses), and ease of access to major highways.
- Future Development Plans: Research upcoming infrastructure projects like new roads, metro stations, or malls that may affect the area.
2. Builder Reputation
- Builder’s Track Record: Verify the reputation of the developer. Look into their previous projects, delivery timelines, and quality of construction.
- Legal Standing: Ensure the builder has all necessary approvals and is a recognized and reliable entity in the market.
- Completion and Possession History: Make sure the builder has a track record of delivering properties on time with minimal delays.
3. Legal Verification
- Title Deed: Check for clear land titles and confirm that the property is free from legal disputes. The title deed should be in the builder's name, and it should be legally verified.
- Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Verify that the property has no existing loans or financial encumbrances.
- RERA Registration: The project should be registered with RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) and adhere to all legal norms.
4. Amenities and Features
- Luxury Features: Check for luxury offerings like modular kitchens, premium flooring, high-quality bathroom fixtures, balconies, and smart home systems.
- Common Amenities: Ensure the building has sufficient high-end amenities like a swimming pool, gym, clubhouse, garden, security, and parking facilities.
- Green Spaces & Environment: Check if there are adequate open spaces, parks, and landscaping for a good living environment.
5. Construction Quality
- Materials Used: Ensure high-quality construction materials are used, especially for plumbing, electrical wiring, flooring, and finishing.
- Structural Integrity: Hire an independent structural engineer (if needed) to assess the safety and soundness of the building.
- Vastu Compliance (if important to you): If you're particular about Vastu, ensure the layout of the apartment follows the guidelines of Vastu Shastra.
6. Size and Layout
- Space Planning: Ensure the 3BHK is spacious and functional for your needs. Pay attention to the dimensions of each room (bedrooms, living room, kitchen).
- Ventilation and Natural Light: Check if the apartment has sufficient ventilation and natural light in all rooms. Large windows and proper airflow are key.
- Balcony/Outdoor Area: Consider the size of balconies and additional outdoor spaces.
- Storage Solutions: Look for enough built-in storage options like wardrobes, cabinets, etc.
7. Pricing and Payment Terms
- Market Price Comparison: Compare the asking price with similar properties in the area to ensure you're not overpaying.
- Payment Plan: Check for the payment schedule and ensure it aligns with your financial situation. Some builders offer attractive post-possession payment plans.
- Registration and Additional Costs: Factor in registration fees, stamp duty, maintenance charges, and property taxes.
8. Furnishing and Interiors
- Semi/Fully Furnished: If you're considering a furnished apartment, check the quality of furniture, fixtures, and fittings.
- Customization Options: Some luxury apartments allow customization of interiors. Verify if the builder offers customization options based on your preferences.
- Security Systems: Ensure the apartment has advanced security features like CCTV surveillance, intercom systems, access control, and 24/7 security personnel.
9. Resale Value and Investment Potential
- Appreciation Potential: Look at the historical price trends in the area and the expected future growth. Areas with emerging infrastructure projects often see higher price appreciation.
- Rental Income Potential: Consider the rental yield potential of the apartment if you plan to rent it out.
- Exit Strategy: Consider how easy it would be to sell the apartment in the future, especially if the market trends in the area change.
10. Home Loan and Financing
- Eligibility for Loan: Check if the property qualifies for a home loan from reputed banks or financial institutions.
- Interest Rates: Compare interest rates offered by various lenders to choose the most favorable terms for your loan.
- Loan Documentation: Ensure all documentation is in order, including the builder’s approvals, occupancy certificate, etc.
11. Occupancy Certificate and Handover
- Occupancy Certificate (OC): Ensure the property has an occupancy certificate from the local municipal authority, allowing you to move in.
- Possession Details: Confirm the possession date and terms for handover. Verify if any delays are expected.
12. Post-Purchase Services
- Maintenance & Support: Understand the ongoing maintenance charges and services provided. Inquire about post-purchase services such as repairs, customer support, and warranty on appliances and structures.
- Community Management: Check if the community association or society is well-organized with rules, regulations, and meetings to ensure smooth living.
13. Builder’s Warranty
- Defects Liability: Make sure the builder offers a warranty for structural defects (usually 5-10 years).
- Appliance Warranties: If the apartment comes with appliances, check for the manufacturer’s warranty details.
14. Safety Standards
- Fire Safety Measures: Ensure the apartment is equipped with fire safety systems like fire alarms, extinguishers, and safe exits.
- Seismic Safety: Verify that the building complies with seismic regulations, especially in earthquake-prone areas.
- Flood Risk: Research if the area is prone to flooding during the monsoon season, particularly in low-lying areas.

Long - term rentals vs short - term stays: which investment strategy is better?
“Long-term stays usually refer to renting for six months or more-sometimes even stretching into years. Short-term stays involve renting for shorter durations, typically less than six months.
“Short-term rentals can potentially generate higher income via every stay as compared to long-term rentals. However, occupancy rates can fluctuate seasonally, impacting overall income. Long-term rentals offer predictable, consistent income, but the potential for higher returns is limited.
Thus, it is extremely crucial to exercise due diligence and conduct thorough research before diving into any rental investment of this nature. The investment for both types of rentals is significant, and their returns could be determined seasonally or by their proximity to local attractions. Therefore, to help determine the conflict between the two rental options, a real estate firm explains each rental option in detail, along with their drawbacks.
SHORT-TERM STAYS
HIGHER RETURNS WITH HIGHER EFFORT
Higher Potential Income:
Flexibility:
Diverse guest base:
Price adaptability:
HOWEVER, SHORT-TERM RENTALS COME WITH THEIR OWN SET OF CHALLENGES:
Higher Operational Costs:
Seasonal Fluctuations:
Regulatory Uncertainties:
More hands-on management:
LONG-TERM RENTALS
Steady income:
Lower maintenance:
Easier management:
Long-term rentals require less day-to-day involvement. An apartment in Bengaluru’s Indiranagar, for example, might only need attention during yearly maintenance or tenant changes.
Appreciation focus:
HOWEVER, LONG TERM RENTALS ALSO HAVE DRAWBACKS:
Tenant risks:
