Property Buying Guidelines for Plots
Location & Connectivity
Proximity to Hyderabad:Check how far the plot is from key areas like Gachibowli, Hitech City, Financial District, or the Outer Ring Road (ORR).
Public Transport Access:: Look for connectivity to metro stations, bus stops, and major roads.
Neighborhood Development:: Ensure nearby schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and workplaces are accessible.
Legal Clearances & Documentation
Title Deed Verification:Ensure the plot has a clear, dispute-free title.
HMDA or DTCP Approval: Prefer plots approved by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) or Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP).
Encumbrance Certificate (EC): Verify that the plot is free from legal dues or mortgages.
Land Use Zoning: Check zoning regulations to ensure residential use is permitted.
Soil Quality & Topography
Soil Testing:Opt for a soil test to ensure it can support your construction plans.
Flood & Drainage Analysis: Avoid low-lying areas prone to waterlogging, especially during monsoons.
Budget & Price Trends
Current Market Rates:Research per square yard prices in the chosen locality.
Hidden Costs:Account for registration charges, stamp duty, and development fees.
Future Appreciation:Choose areas showing good potential for value appreciation (e.g., areas near new infrastructure projects like Pharma City, Regional Ring Road).
Infrastructure & Amenities
Water Supply & Electricity:Check availability and reliability of utilities.
Roads & Street Lighting:Ensure well-laid roads, street lights, and proper drainage systems.
Community Facilities: Parks, clubhouse, security features, etc., if you’re looking at gated layouts.
Builder/Developer Reputation
Track Record:Research developer history, completed projects, and customer reviews.
Transparency:Prefer developers who provide all legal documents upfront.
Future Development Plans
Check government plans for new highways, IT parks, industrial zones, or metro expansions. Areas like Shadnagar, Maheshwaram, Kothur, Yadadri, and Srisailam Highway are growing due to upcoming developments.
