Yes, builder floor resales might take longer, and obtaining a home loan may be more difficult than purchasing a flat in a gated apartment complex. I saw this happen in Gurgaon with my cousin. He liked the builder floor and agreed to the price, but the bank discovered that the sale deed did not explicitly state the Undivided Share (UDS) of the property. This caused a several-week delay in his financing while the documentation was revised and confirmed.
Why Is It Harder to Get a Loan on a Builder Floor?
Many builder-floor buildings have shared or divided land ownership. Typically, the landowner and builder sign a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) and sell each floor separately. This can complicate legal documentation, so banks may take longer to authenticate it.
Missing papers might cause a home loan to be delayed or denied. Common issues include the lack of an occupancy certificate, building plans that differ from actual construction, and confusing Undivided Share of Land (UDS) specifications in the sale deed.
Banks may fund a smaller percentage of the property's valuation. Since the legal chain and construction quality are more difficult to check than an RERA-registered project, some lenders are more careful about how much of the price they can finance. So, in this case, you need to submit a bigger down payment.
What Slows Down Builder Floor Resale?
Builder floors appeal to fewer buyers since most homeowners choose gated communities with security, lifts, power backup, and amenities. Without an RWA, handling repairs, cleaning, and security among a few owners can lead to arguments.
Even in a prime location, reselling a builder floor can take longer. However, clear paperwork, such as a clean title, correct UDS, and occupancy certificate, can make resale much easier and more efficient.
So, it is best to hire a lawyer to verify the title history, ensure the UDS is included in the registered sale deed, and confirm the existence of the occupancy certificate before making any commitments. I hope this helps.
