Pre-Purchase Checklist
Seven checks to help you assess a property before committing to a purchase.
UP RERA Registration
For an applicable builder project, check the official UP RERA website for registration details, the declared completion timeline, available progress disclosures and relevant complaint or order records.
Occupancy Certificate (OC)
Verify the applicable Occupancy Certificate and its coverage for the specific tower or phase, as relevant. Do not assume that a project-level document automatically covers every building.
Project Status and Insolvency Checks
For a resale in projects associated with Jaypee, Supertech, Amrapali or Unitech, investigate the specific project’s current legal, insolvency, possession and transfer position. Obtain appropriate independent legal or claim verification where needed before proceeding.
IGRS UP Encumbrance and Registration Checks
Consult the IGRS UP portal and the relevant registration records to investigate registered transactions, disclosed mortgages or other recorded interests, as applicable. An online search alone may not establish that a property is free of every charge.
NOIDA Allotment Letter Authentication
For NOIDA Authority plots and older allotted properties, verify the original allotment letter, allottee details, property particulars and relevant records with the NOIDA Authority estate office.
NSEZ Designation and Transferability
For an industrial unit in or around NSEZ Noida, establish whether the unit is actually within the notified SEZ and confirm the applicable unit status, asset ownership, permitted use and transfer conditions. These details may affect valuation assumptions.
Independent Pre-Purchase FMV Check
Consider an independent fair market value (FMV) assessment before purchase, particularly for higher-value properties, Delhi-border sectors and the NG Expressway corridor. Compare relevant transactions, property condition, project status, applicable approvals and the intended valuation purpose.
