Projects larger than 500 square meters or with more than eight units must be registered with RERA. This assures fundamental information about dates, approvals and ownership, which keeps buyers informed.
Buyers can check the progress of project registration on their state's RERA site (maharera.mahaonline.gov.in). The site usually displays project updates, legal status, and promotional information.
This certificate confirms that the local authority has approved the building for occupation. It's usually required to initiate utilities and complete legal formalities.
The Completion Certificate (CC) confirms that the construction has followed the approved building plan and that the project complies with all legal and structural norms at the time of completion.
These documents indicate legal ownership and confirm that the property is not under dispute. Buyers are encouraged to verify them with legal help or at the local sub-registrar's office.
Buyers should confirm that the gas, electricity, and water connections have been authorised and turned on before moving in. It's common for utility applications to still be in progress when possession is handed over.
It is better to collect receipts for all payments and verify that there are no pending dues. Builders may also provide warranties on construction and a schedule for any maintenance services.
