How to buy property without getting scammed by real estate agents?

Hi there,

There will always be frauds and scams where a lot of money is involved. One such market where frequent frauds happen is the real estate market. So, make sure your hard-earned money is not squandered in real estate scams and fraud when you want to purchase a property. Try to avoid real-estate agents from the entire picture. Opt for a platform which works directly with the customers. Like NoBroker, which involves no middlemen or brokers so that property dealings are done directly between the seller and the buyer.

Don't panic, but instead be cautious, do your research, and have some knowledge to prevent real estate fraud.

• Don't rush the purchase, exercise diligence. Make sure you are being quoted a fair price and not more by gathering information about local prices from a variety of sources. Take your time to research and make a decision.

• Make sure twice that the area will develop in the near future or at least ten years from now if you are investing in underdeveloped land. You should be able to predict how the location in which you plan to make an investment will expand based on factors such as closeness to IT parks, distance from the airport, and analysis of which areas have grown over the past ten years.

• Don't just rely on the visuals displayed on the internet, in advertisements, in brochures, or in booklets. Go to the website and take a look for yourself. Get the opinions of the nearby store owners and neighbours regarding the location and neighbourhood.

• Check the developers' track record, get references from other customers to verify their dependability, study internet reviews, and Google them to look for any indication of fraud in the past.

• As banks only accept projects after a careful investigation, finding out if the project has received bank approval for loans is a solid indication of its dependability.

• Request copies of the project's permissions and approvals in addition to the title deed. Make sure the title or ownership is not in question.

• To thoroughly comprehend each clause and its implications, read the texts several times over with care. If at all feasible, have it reviewed by a legal professional who may warn you away from anything concerning the contract.

• Continue to stop by the building site to check on the materials being utilised. Bring a measuring tape with you, and measure the rooms to make sure they are the right length and width.

• Make sure the agreement includes a delay clause and a construction timeframe in order to protect yourself from project completion delays.

I hope this helps you.
