The 7D buyer's guide
A clearer path
to your home.
Eight practical steps to help you plan, compare, verify and move forward with confidence.
Before you begin
One decision at a time.
A home purchase brings together personal priorities, finance, design, construction and legal documentation. Use this guide to organize the questions; verify every material answer against current project-specific documents before committing.
Start with the life you need
Before comparing projects, define what the home needs to do for you now and over the next several years.
- Preferred Chennai locations and daily travel
- Bedrooms, work space, parking and accessibility
- Move-in timeline: ready, ongoing or upcoming
Build a complete budget
Look beyond the headline price. Plan the contribution you can make comfortably and the monthly commitment you can sustain.
- Down payment and eligible home-loan amount
- Registration, taxes, legal and applicable maintenance costs
- A buffer for interiors, moving and changing interest rates
Choose the right project stage
Each stage offers a different balance of certainty, choice and waiting time. Select the one that matches your priorities.
- Ready to move: inspect the actual home and common areas
- Ongoing: review approvals, progress and stated milestones
- Upcoming: register interest and wait for verified launch information
Compare plans, not just BHK labels
Two homes with the same bedroom count can live very differently. Study the plan room by room.
- Carpet area and the basis used for every area figure
- Daylight, ventilation, circulation and furniture placement
- Privacy, storage, balconies and shared-wall relationships
Make the site visit count
Visit with a written checklist, take notes and ask to see the exact information that matters to your decision.
- Approach road, neighbourhood and everyday conveniences
- Construction or finishing quality visible at the site
- Parking, lifts, services, common areas and maintenance planning
Verify the project and documents
Request current, project-specific documents. Independently verify material details and use qualified professional advice where needed.
- Promoter, land, planning and statutory approval information
- Applicable TNRERA registration and project disclosures
- Draft agreement, specifications, payment plan and possession terms
Read before you commit
The signed agreement—not a brochure, render or conversation—sets out the binding commercial and delivery terms.
- Unit identification, carpet area, consideration and payment milestones
- Specifications, common areas, parking and change provisions
- Possession, delay, cancellation, interest and dispute clauses
Prepare for handover
A careful final review helps create a clear record before possession and makes the transition into the home smoother.
- Inspect finishes, fixtures, doors, windows and services
- Record agreed rectification items in writing
- Collect applicable certificates, warranties, manuals, keys and payment records
