Essential due-diligence steps every homebuyer should verify before booking an apartment, independent floor, or plot in Gurugram.
5 Critical Checks Before Booking Any Property in Gurugram
Buying a luxury apartment, independent builder floor, or residential plot in Gurugram is a major financial milestone. At Gaursons Property — Investment Advisor, our Gurugram consultancy team follows a strict five-point verification checklist before recommending any project:
1. Verify HARERA (Haryana RERA) Registration & DTCP License
Every primary residential or commercial project exceeding 500 sq. meters or 8 units must hold a valid HARERA Gurugram registration number and a valid DTCP (Directorate of Town and Country Planning, Haryana) license. Always verify the project's quarterly construction progress and committed possession date on the official HARERA portal.
2. Compare RERA Carpet Area vs Super Area Loading
In Gurugram high-rise condominiums, super-to-carpet loading varies across developers. Always compare the usable RERA carpet area plus balcony area rather than looking only at the headline super area price per square foot.
3. Evaluate All-Inclusive Cost Sheets
Request a transparent, all-inclusive cost sheet that explicitly lists Base Price, EDC/IDC (External & Internal Development Charges), PLC (Preferential Location Charges for park/club/corner facing), Club Membership, IFMS, Car Parking, and applicable GST.
4. Choose the Right Payment Plan (CLP vs PLP)
Compare Construction-Linked Payment Plans (CLP)—where installments are tied to actual slab/superstructure milestones—against Possession-Linked Plans (PLP) based on your cash-flow comfort and bank home loan eligibility.
5. Assess Sector Road Width & Master Plan Connectivity
Verify whether the project has direct access from a 24m, 60m, or 84m sector road and check its distance to operational expressways (NH-48, Dwarka Expressway, SPR, or Golf Course Extension Road).
