Questions we get asked every week

Navi Mumbai is our primary market — Kharghar, Ulwe, Panvel, Vashi, Nerul, CBD Belapur, Airoli and Dronagiri. We also advise across Mumbai's eastern and western suburbs, Thane, Bengaluru and Kolkata. Every city is scored on the same seven parameters, so you can compare an appreciation play in Ulwe against a yield play in Whitefield on one sheet.

No. Our fee is paid by the developer as a channel-partner commission on completed transactions. You pay the same price you would pay walking into the developer's own sales office — with independent analysis and negotiation on your side.

Within one hour of your enquiry we send a customised presentation matched to your budget and parameters. A full seven-parameter report on your shortlisted projects follows within 48 hours.

Location and developer reputation, secondary-market research and demand, client demand geography, rental dynamics and supply-demand ratio, last year's transaction analysis, new-project study, and changes in per-square-foot cost by area. Each shortlisted project is scored on all seven.

Three infrastructure events landed inside three years: the Atal Setu sea link, Metro Line 1 from Belapur to Pendhar, and the Navi Mumbai International Airport at Ulwe. No other planned Indian city has absorbed that much connectivity at once, and the spread between the cheapest and dearest node is still wider than the fundamentals justify.

Navi Mumbai residential runs 2.5% to 3.2% gross, Mumbai 2.2% to 2.8%, Thane 2.4% to 3.0%, Bengaluru 3.5% to 4.5%, and Kolkata 3.4% to 4.0%. Grade-A commercial in CBD Belapur returns 6% to 8%. If cash flow is your objective, Bengaluru and Kolkata beat MMR comfortably; if appreciation is, the Navi Mumbai airport nodes are where we look.

Ready possession carries no GST, no construction risk and lets you inspect the actual unit — but you miss the launch-to-possession part of the appreciation curve. Under construction gives you the price advantage and a staged payment plan, at the cost of a three to five year wait. Which is right depends on your holding period and cash-flow needs.

We check the RERA registration and quarterly progress filings — MahaRERA in Maharashtra, K-RERA in Karnataka, WBHIRA in West Bengal — plus commencement and occupancy certificates, the title search report, encumbrance status, approved plans against what is being sold, and the developer's litigation history. You receive the documents, not just our assurance.

It varies by state. In Maharashtra budget 7% to 9% over agreement value: stamp duty at 6% (5% for women buyers), registration at 1% capped at ₹ 30,000, and 5% GST on under-construction property. Karnataka runs about 5% stamp duty plus 1% registration and 1% cess. West Bengal is 4% to 6% stamp duty plus 1% registration. We give you a line-item working before you commit.

Yes. NRIs can buy residential and commercial property without RBI approval — only agricultural land, plantations and farmhouses are restricted. We handle the process end to end via a registered Power of Attorney, with video walkthroughs, digital document sharing and repatriation-compliant payment routing through NRE or NRO accounts.

Sale proceeds attract TDS at 20% plus surcharge on long-term capital gains for NRIs, and up to USD 1 million per financial year can be repatriated from an NRO account with Form 15CA and 15CB. Our tax desk prepares the filings alongside the transaction.
