Resale Flat Checklist for Noida & Gurugram Societies

Buying a resale flat in an established society in Noida, Gurugram or Ghaziabad lets you see exactly what you're getting — but there are checks that are easy to miss. Use this list before you pay a token amount.

The flat itself

• check for seepage on ceilings and walls, especially near bathrooms and balconies
• test taps, flushes, switches and sockets
• look at windows, doors and the condition of the kitchen and bathrooms
• check the carpet area against the papers

The society

• condition of lifts, power backup and common areas
• water supply and storage
• parking allotted to this flat — ask for it in writing
• the monthly maintenance charge and what it covers
• whether the residents' association has taken over from the builder
• society rules on renting, pets and renovations

The paperwork

• occupancy certificate for the building
• registered sale or sub-lease deed and the chain of earlier deeds
• for Noida and Greater Noida: the transfer memorandum history and a no-dues from the authority
• no-dues from the society for maintenance
• if the seller has a loan: a letter from the bank on the outstanding amount and how originals will be released

Money and timing

• agree who pays transfer charges and when
• pay the token only against a written agreement
• if the price is ₹50 lakh or more, deduct 1% TDS for a resident seller
