How to buy properties online and what is the procedure?
The real estate portals have the properties listed by several developers in the city. Interested buyers can check the property details and specifications. Once decided, buyer needs to provide the personal information and make booking by paying initial token amount as an expression of interest towards the property. The developer then call the buyer to take the process further and complete other formalities.
Advantages of buying a property online:
- Searching for properties and buying them on the real estate portals is very easy and convenient because of the presence of filters, which allows you to see only those properties, which meet your set of requirements.
- The buyers can avail offers/discounts from the developers.
- You can view the property’s location on map, which gives an understanding of the accessibility to physical as well as social infrastructure and also of the existing amenities in the locality.
- Few real estate platforms provide virtual tours which helps in viewing the property from different angles at different time of the day.
- You can also get the aerial view of the property along with the neighbourhood.
- The listed Apartments for sale in Mumbai are thoroughly verified by the data agents with as many as 100 data points and thereby helping the buyers know the authenticity of the property and the developer/builder.
However, before you take that bold step, make sure to check the developer’s past projects. Taking advice from experts is always advisable to check the authenticity of the documents provided by the developer.
