Top Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Property in Pune


Buying property is a dream for many — but one small mistake can lead to huge financial loss, legal trouble, or emotional stress.
Whether you’re buying a 2BHK flat in Pune, an NA plot, or a commercial space, you must go in with the right knowledge and the right people on your side.
At Dhandeep Real Estate Agency, we’ve helped 1000+ buyers make smart and safe investments. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the top mistakes to avoid when buying property in Pune — so you can make an informed and confident decision.

Mistake 1: Not Checking RERA Registration

Many buyers rush to book under-construction properties just based on brochures or YouTube videos.
Rule #1: Always check if the project is MahaRERA Registered.

  • Your investment is at risk
  • Delivery timelines may not be enforced
  • There’s no legal authority to protect you

Always demand the RERA registration number before you book.

Mistake 2: Ignoring the Title Clearance or 7/12 Extract (Plots)

If you’re buying NA plots, this is a common trap.

  • Not converted from agricultural to NA
  • Sold without proper demarcation
  • Under legal dispute or government hold

Dhandeep Real Estate Agency verifies every document — including 7/12, Title Certificate, NA Order, Layout Sanction, etc.

Mistake 3: Choosing the Wrong Location for Your Goals

Just because a location is trending doesn’t mean it’s right for you.

  • A bachelor buying in family-dominated areas may feel restricted
  • A working couple buying far from IT hubs may face commute stress
  • An investor choosing a stagnant area will get poor returns

Match location with purpose: family, investment, rental, future resale — we help you assess all of it.

Mistake 4: Underestimating Hidden Costs

Builders often advertise “Starting from ₹40L” — but don’t mention:

  • GST
  • Society Formation Charges
  • Parking Charges
  • Development Charges
  • Stamp Duty & Registration (5–7% in Maharashtra)

Dhandeep gives a full all-inclusive cost sheet, so there are no surprises.

Mistake 5: No Loan Pre-Approval or Financial Planning

Many buyers get emotionally attached to a property, only to later realize:

  • Loan eligibility is low
  • Budget stretches beyond comfort
  • EMIs become a burden

Before site visits, we help you get a loan pre-approval check based on your salary, credit score, and savings.

Mistake 6: Skipping Legal and Technical Verification

From illegal floor additions to missing fire safety clearances, there are many risks in buying an apartment without checking:

  • Sanctioned building plan
  • Environmental NOC
  • OC/CC (Occupancy/Completion Certificate)
  • Builder credibility

Our expert panel cross-checks all legal and technical compliance.

Mistake 7: Not Buying from a Trusted Channel Partner

Many local brokers or online listings don’t reveal hidden project issues, disputes, or delivery delays.

Working with an authorized, RERA-registered channel partner like Dhandeep Real Estate Agency ensures:

  • No fake listings
  • No black money transactions
  • No pressure booking
  • End-to-end help from booking to handover
