Buying a flat is very crucial for everyone’s life. This is related to you and your family. Using a flat possession checklist can help ensure a smooth takeover of a new property. This process helps find issues before moving into a new flat. 

 

There are several flats in Newtown, a well-established real estate area in Kolkata. Even seemingly trivial issues in documentation can invite hurdles in the future. So, here's a document checklist to go through before you accept the keys, ensuring a smooth property transfer.
 

Read the Legal Papers (Don't Miss This!)
 

Ensure that you possess all documents from your builder. They include the completion certificate (CC), occupancy certificate (OC), allotment letter, sale deed, encumbrance certificate, and property tax receipts. They confirm that your flat is lawfully sanctioned, livable, and devoid of any legal complications. In the absence of these, your house is not legally habitable, so do not proceed unless all documents are in place.

 

Do a thorough inspection of your flat

 

Now we have to visit the flat and thoroughly verify all the details.

 

• Inspect the walls, ceiling, and flooring for any indication of cracks or water stains.
• Open and close all the windows and doors to determine how well they operate. Switch on the lights and fans.
• Inspect the toilet and sink water flow.

 

Whether you possess a 3 BHK flat or a small 2.5 BHK flat in Newtown, it is highly important to personally check the state of your apartment. Dampness or cracks in ceilings and walls

 

Arrange the Carpet Area

 

The majority of the customers are shown the super built-up area, which includes common areas. Yet it is the carpet area that matters.

 

• Calculate the total carpet area in your apartment.
• Compare it with your contract terms and conditions.

The importance of such minute elements in one's daily life should not be underestimated. This is especially true for 3 BHK flats in Newtown, where proper spatial planning is essential.

Assess the Shared Facilities and Spaces

 

Your apartment is within a bigger residential project, so it's just as crucial to check the facilities outside your apartment. Check to see if the lifts are operating in all towers and if the staircases are clean and well-lit. Check to see if the security systems are in place. If the project is offering a garden, children's play area, or gym, check to see if these are operational. If you are moving into a lifestyle community, the amenities should be operational when you take possession.

 

Understand Society and Rules of Maintenance

 

Ask the builder or the society administration about the monthly maintenance fees. Ask if a Residents' Welfare Association has been formed or is in the process of being formed. Look at the general pet policies, visitor policies, renovation policies, and garage policies. Knowing the little but important things makes one settle in the new house more easily and encourages healthy community living.

FAQs

 

Q. What documents should I collect at possession?
 

Ans. At possession, be sure to collect all important documents from the builder/developer. The Completion Certificate (CC), Occupancy Certificate (OC), Possession Letter, and final Sale Deed are necessary: the builder/developer will likely collect the Encumbrance Certificate, which will confirm that there are no legal dues attached to the property. 

 

 Q. What is the best proof when in possession?

 

In most cases, the best proof of possession will be the Possession Letter from the builder/developer, as this will state that the property has been received and is to be used for occupancy. The Possession Letter plus the registered Sale Deed would be legal proof of possession. If you have received an Occupancy Certificate (OC) from the local municipal authority, then you also have assurance that you can legally inhabit the property.

 

Q. When should I take possession of a flat?

 

Before you take possession, you should ensure that the flat is well inspected, that all amenities promised by the developer are ready, and that you have collected the necessary documents: Completion Certificate, Possession Letter, connection of utilities, etc. You must also ensure that you do not have any pending dues and that there are no hidden payments.
