Buying flats in Goa, India

When buying a flat in Goa whether its from a reputed builder or otherwise. there are a lot of things that need to be checked like water proofing, painting, tiles, taps, electrical switches and wiring. its best that before taking possession of the flat verify that everything is done as per the agreement.

After i booked a flat from "Kurtarkar Real Estates", before making the final payment and then taking possession of the flat, i had to do a lot of running around with the site engineer and the workers to make sure that everything was done according to the sale agreement. This would not be expected from a reputed builder but once they get the money its all the same.

You need to make sure that
  • the taps are fitted properly and there are no leaks at the joints.
  • All the electrical points acutally work.
  • The wash basin and kitchen sinks have the outlet pipes fitted properly and water does not leak from the joints.
  • its best to look for a flat during hte monsoon season from june to september that way you can be sure if water proofing was done properly or you will see the water seepage on the walls.
