FAQs
Carpet Area is the area enclosed within the walls, actual area to lay the carpet. This area does not include the thickness of the inner walls. It is the actual used area of an apartment/office unit/showroom etc. Built up Area is the carpet area plus the thickness of outer walls and the balcony. Super Built Up Area is the built up area plus proportionate area of common areas such as the lobby, lifts shaft, stairs, etc. The plinth area along with a share of all common areas proportionately divided amongst all unit owners makes up the Super Built-up area. Sometimes it may also include the common areas such, swimming pool, garden, clubhouse, etc. This term is therefore only applicable in the case of multi-dwelling units.
This break up is extremely essential as builders can place anywhere from 65% to 85% per cent of the super built area as carpet area. That means, if the price is quoted as 1,000 sq ft super built up area, the carpet area could be anywhere from just 650 sq ft to 850 sq ft. If this break up is not mentioned in the agreement, demand that the vendor/ builder mention it in the sale deed.

Emerging locations offer affordable prices, future infrastructure growth, better ROI, and early access to modern facilities. As the area develops, the value of the property increases significantly over time.
A freehold property gives the buyer complete ownership of land and construction, whereas a leasehold property gives rights for a limited period (typically 30–99 years). Freehold properties are easier to sell, mortgage, and transfer.
Resale value depends on location, builder reputation, construction quality, property age, nearby facilities, connectivity, and demand in the area. Projects near schools, hospitals, and transportation hubs usually have a higher resale value.
Newly launched projects offer lower pricing, flexible payment plans, choice of the best units, and higher appreciation potential. Early buyers benefit the most as prices rise during construction and completion stages.
