5 Terms You Must Know Before Buying a Home

Before you purchase a home, whether it’s apartments in Bannerghatta or villas in Electronic City, you need to know the ABCs of real estate. It is crucial to know at least a handful of basic terms, before deciding to buy a home. Here are a few of them to help you in your search to find the perfect home: 

1. Carpet Area: Carpet area is the area that is enclosed within the walls of the house. It does not take into account the thickness of the inner walls. It is the actual area that is used for an apartment or office. The carpet area usually includes a certain percentage of the other areas of the home such as the terrace, balcony, and verandah. This can result in your usable carpet area being much smaller than you expected, which is a common mistake made while calculating the total carpet area. If you’re planning on buying a luxury villa in Bangalore, make sure to calculate the carpet area carefully.

2. Built-up/Super built-up Area: The built-up area includes everything from the thickness of the outer walls, balcony area, and the carpet area until the inner walls. The super-built up area is also known as the saleable area. It is the total built-up area of the house, plus a proportionate share of the area of all the common amenities in the complex. These include the entrance lobby, terraces, corridors, staircases, lift shafts and lobbies, clubhouse, and other common areas. However, this is only if they are not separately charged for. Also, some of the areas that are not included in the super built-up area are open-sky swimming pools, water tanks, and open sports facilities.

Owning a home in India and its importance

Real estate is one of the most important investments in an Indian household. A long-term financial commitment, buying a home requires considerable research. Becoming a homeowner comes with a lot of responsibility, as well as a lot of benefits.

Each local market has its own unique characteristics, so make sure you consult the best real estate developers in Bangalore , to find a house that best suits your needs....

RERA—The much needed saviour to home buyer

RERA, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016, was passed by the parliament of India to bring about transparency and fair trade practices in the real estate industry. It seeks to protect the interests of the home buyers, bring a platform to redress their grievances, collect data at a repository and to encourage investment in the real estate sector.

It was also meant to bring about standardized practices in the in...
