Ready vs Under Construction FAQs
Common questions about ready-to-move vs under construction properties
Ready to move properties are ideal if you need immediate possession, want to see the actual construction quality, and prefer certainty. Under construction properties are generally cheaper, offer better payment plans, and can appreciate more by possession time.
Key risks include: project delays, builder bankruptcy, changes in building plans, quality issues, regulatory hurdles, and market value decline. RERA registration provides some protection by ensuring timely delivery and compensation for delays.
Yes, under construction properties are typically 10-20% cheaper than ready-to-move properties in the same location. Builders offer lower prices to generate early cash flow. However, you need to factor in the cost of renting during the construction period.
Payment plans for under construction properties include: construction-linked plan (pay as construction progresses), time-linked plan (pay on schedule), and subvention plan (builder pays EMI until possession). Some builders also offer down payment discounts.
RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) mandates that builders register all projects, deposit 70% of buyer payments in an escrow account, and adhere to the promised timeline. If delayed, builders must pay interest to buyers. This provides significant protection for under construction property buyers.
Ready to Move vs Under Construction: Which One to Choose?
Choosing between a ready-to-move and under construction property depends on your immediate housing needs, budget, risk appetite, and investment horizon. Ready-to-move properties offer instant possession and zero construction risk but come at a premium price. Under construction properties are more affordable with potential appreciation gains but carry delay and quality risks.
