Top 4 things You Must Know Before You Plan YOUR NEXT BIG DREAM HOME

Top 4 things You Must Know Before You Plan YOUR NEXT BIG DREAM HOME

There are numerous factors which govern a person’s choice of a residence, but they are predominantly influenced by his social and economic standing. The Chennai Metropolitan and Development Authority (CMDA) in its “Combined Development and Building Rules, 2019” has increased the Floor Space index (FSI) from 1.5 to 2.0 resulting in vertical growth of the city over the next decade. With most builders providing almost similar basic specifications, it becomes difficult for an end user to make a smart choice. While the legal opinion is a must there are other checklists which a buyer needs to understand if the price tag fits within his budget. Hence in order to demystify this we suggest four major aspects which a flat buyer should evaluate before he makes a sound decision to invest his lifetime earnings.
