Be it a new office complex that’s under construction or a residential area in the making, it is always advised to visit and explore the property before you make the big investment. There are many benefits of site visitations that we tend to overlook against the beautiful pictures in brochures and tall claims made by the builders.

For starters, it is good practice to be on site before signing the cheque to ensure that all the amenities you’ve been promised by the builder such as parks, gymnasium, sauna, club, pool, common room, games room, car parks, lounge, conference area, etc are up to the mark.

Next up, visiting in person gives you a sense of the proximity of your home to your kids’ school, the city centre, highways, shopping malls, your office, the hospital, gas stations and other major areas of connectivity. This comes in handy when you first relocate and want an idea of how to commute.

And as they, “Love your neighbour like thyself.” Visiting the property also gives you an opportunity to familiarise yourself with the surroundings and your potential neighbours. This helps you to get a sense of community in the area you might call your home one day. And if it is for a business, you could see the kind of trades and businesses prominent in the area and if could lead to potential business deals or collaborations in the future.

Moreover, you can monitor the progress of the property and gauge if it would be ready by the time you’ve been guaranteed possession. You could also ask the builder if there’s room for customisation in bedrooms, kitchen, living room, dining area, balcony, patio, etc to bring your perfect dream home to life.

You could also resolve any queries about colony rules, inviting guests over, guest parking, community meetings, building secretary and management, security, fire alarms, etc. with your builder.

And while discussing finances can be difficult, it can raise added ambiguity when you haven’t checked out the place and have no idea where your money is being spent. Site tours in this scenario help you ask the realtor the difficult questions about electricity charges, maintenance,  water bill, PLC, floor rise cost, property tax and any additional costs.

Since nothing supersedes quality, you can check if the plaster of the walls, the finesse of the woodwork, the carving in the false ceilings, the security and maintenance of the building, etc are all nothing short of perfect.

And when you’re convinced this is the place to be, the property to invest in and your next big move, sign that cheque and give yourself the gift of a lifetime.
