RERA registration, title chain, carpet vs super built-up, possession terms — the checklist we run for every client, in plain language.
1. RERA registration. Every under-construction project marketed in Assam must be RERA-registered. Verify the number on the Assam RERA portal yourself — not on a brochure. No number, no discussion.
2. Title chain. Ask for the land documents and have a lawyer trace ownership back at least 30 years. In Assam, land class matters too — confirm the land is settled for the intended use.
3. Carpet vs super built-up. Price per square foot means nothing until you know which area it multiplies. Insist on carpet area in writing; RERA requires it.
4. Approved plan vs what’s being built. Compare the sanctioned building plan with the sales floor plan. Deviations become your problem at registration.
5. Possession terms and penalty. The agreement must state a possession date and what the builder owes you if it slips.
6. Payment schedule linked to construction. Pay against slabs completed, not calendar months.
7. Loan pre-approval on the project. If leading banks have approved the project for lending, their legal teams have already vetted it — free diligence.
8. Exit and resale terms. Check transfer charges and NOC conditions before you sign, not when you sell.
We run this checklist — plus locality-level checks — for every client, at no charge. That’s what advisory-first means.
