Step 3: Avail a Home Loan
Avail a home loan from a bank, even if you have the money to buy the flat. Banks will do due diligence (thoroughly check the credentials of the builder), before sanctioning your home loan.
While buying a flat, there are always additional costs. These are the hidden costs. The stamp duty and registration charges can be 6-8% of the cost of the flat.
Then, there are the extra parking charges which your builder has forgotten to mention. Additional costs can push the price of your flat up, by even 20-25%.
