Ready To Move Or Under Construction?

Owning a home offers a sense of security and stability especially in emergencies / uncertainties such as the covid-19 pandemic. Post the crisis, home buyers have realised the importance of owning versus renting and the benefits of living in integrated developments that offer larger apartments, lifestyle amenities, and ample external space in the form of balconies or lush green landscape. However, whether to choose a ready to move in project, project nearing completion, or newly launched project, the choice depends on the customer’s purpose of buying the apartment (end use or investment), their financial ability, and the time of purchase. A customer signs the biggest cheque of his life while buying a home, be it for end-use or investment, hence it is a big financial, emotional, and social investment. Nevertheless, it is always helpful to know the essential factors before making the final decision.
