Site Visit Checklist: 15 Questions to Ask Before You Book a Home

A site visit is the single most useful step in buying a home, yet many people walk through it passively, impressed by the sample flat and unsure what to ask. A little preparation changes that. Take this checklist with you, whether you visit Krishna Galaxy or any other project, and you will leave with answers rather than just impressions.

Questions About Approvals and Legal Standing

• Can I see the project's RERA registration number and verify it on the official portal?
• Is the project approved by the local development authority, and can I see the approval details?
• Who is the developer, and what is the structure of the marketing partner's role?
• Will the sale deed be registered in my name, and what is the ownership type?

Questions About the Home Itself

• What is the carpet area versus the super built-up area of the unit I am considering?
• What exactly is included in the furnishing, and can I see the list in writing?
• What is the construction timeline, and what is the possession date mentioned in the agreement?
• Which floor and facing are available, and how do light and ventilation differ between them?

Questions About Costs

• What is the total all-inclusive cost, including registration, stamp duty and other charges?
• What is the payment schedule, and what happens if I miss a milestone?
• What will the monthly maintenance charges be, and what do they cover?
• Are there any additional or one-time charges not shown in the headline price?

Questions About Everyday Living

• Which amenities are ready now, and which are still planned?
• How are security, power backup and water supply managed?
• How far are schools, hospitals and markets, and how do I get to them daily?

How to Use the Visit Well

Go with a notebook or phone and write down the answers, since memory fades quickly after a long day of visiting. Ask for important commitments in writing, and compare answers if you are visiting more than one project. If something is unclear, it is fine to say so and ask again. A trustworthy team will not mind patient questions.

Visit at a different time of day if you can, and look beyond the showroom at the actual site, entrance and surroundings. Bring family members who will live in the home, since their impressions matter as much as yours.

Final Thoughts

Good decisions come from good information, and a prepared visit is the fastest way to get it. You do not need to be an expert, only curious and organised. Bring your questions to Krishna Galaxy and take the time you need before deciding.
