Frequently Asked Questions
What documents do I need to buy property in Gurgaon and NCR?
Identity and address proof, PAN, income papers for a loan, and the property title chain, approvals and latest tax receipts. Keep both sides KYC ready for registration.
How do I check if a project is RERA-registered?
Search the state RERA portal by project or builder name for the registration number and approved plan. Our RERA check guide explains it.
Can NRIs buy property in Gurgaon and NCR?
Yes, NRIs can buy residential and commercial property in India, though not farm land. Payments must come through banking channels, and a trusted power of attorney helps if you are abroad.
What taxes apply when I sell property in Gurgaon and NCR?
You pay capital gains tax on the profit, lower if you hold beyond the long-term period, with reliefs if you reinvest in another home. Take advice before you sell.
Is it a good time to buy in Gurgaon and NCR?
Timing matters less than buying the right property at a fair price with clean papers. If a home fits your budget and needs, waiting for a perfect market rarely pays.
How do I verify a property title in Gurgaon and NCR?
Check the chain of ownership, the latest record, any loan or lien and pending dues, and match the seller identity to the title. A local lawyer can vet the deed.
What should I check during a site visit in Gurgaon and NCR?
Construction quality, water and power backup, the neighbourhood, road access, and how the actual unit compares to the brochure. Visit at different times of day if you can.
Can I negotiate the price in Gurgaon and NCR?
Resale and ready inventory are usually negotiable, while fresh launches have fixed rates but may waive some charges. Compare recent deals nearby to judge a fair price.
What is the difference between carpet area and super area?
Carpet area is the usable space inside your walls; super area adds a share of common areas. Always confirm the carpet area you actually get before comparing prices.

Budget for stamp duty and registration, GST on under-construction homes, parking, club and maintenance deposits, and loan fees. Ask for a full cost sheet upfront.
How does Realty Hunting help me buy in Gurgaon and NCR?
We share verified listings, honest area advice and the real paperwork picture, and connect you with builders and sellers. Reach out and we will shortlist options that fit your budget.
Should I buy ready-to-move or under-construction in Gurgaon and NCR?
Ready homes have no wait, no GST and no build risk but cost more; under-construction is cheaper with a longer wait. Choose by your timeline and risk appetite.
How do I book a property in Gurgaon and NCR?
Shortlist, visit, check the papers and RERA, then pay the booking amount and sign the agreement. Read the payment plan and cancellation terms before you commit.
Do I need a lawyer to buy property in Gurgaon and NCR?
For anything beyond a simple, clean deal it helps. A lawyer vets the title, the agreement and the approvals, which is cheap insurance against a costly mistake.
What is a builder-buyer agreement?
It is the core contract between you and the developer, setting the price, payment plan, area, specifications and possession date. Read it fully before signing.
What is an occupancy certificate and why does it matter?
It certifies a building is legally fit to occupy. Never take possession of a completed home without it, since it affects loans, utilities and resale.
