- Verify the developer’s record
Review previously completed projects, construction quality, delivery history, financial credibility, and customer feedback. - Confirm the project’s legal status
Ask a qualified lawyer to verify land ownership, building permits, approved plans, zoning compliance, and the absence of mortgages, disputes, or legal restrictions. - Inspect construction quality at every stage
Appoint an independent engineer to examine the structure, waterproofing, insulation, materials, electrical systems, plumbing, and compliance with approved specifications. - Use a detailed sale agreement
The contract should clearly specify the unit, area, construction grade, materials, finishes, common areas, parking rights, payment schedule, delivery date, defect warranty, and penalties for delay or unauthorized changes. - Link payments to verified progress
Avoid paying most of the price in advance. Divide payments into construction milestones and release each installment only after an independent engineer confirms the completed work.
Professional reminder: Never rely solely on brochures, model apartments, or verbal promises. All specifications and commitments should be written into the notarized or legally enforceable agreement.
