How to Shortlist a Residential Project in West Pune: A 7-Point Framework

West Pune has many good projects, and too many options can slow a decision. Use these seven filters to reach a shortlist of three to five projects.

1. Commute: Decide your daily destination, whether that is Hinjewadi, Baner, Kothrud or the city centre, and test the drive at peak hours rather than relying on distance.

2. Budget and Configuration: Set a total budget that includes registration, taxes and other charges, then filter by BHK type and RERA carpet area rather than headline size.

3. Developer Record: Look at the developer's earlier projects, how close delivery was to the promised date, and how well completed societies are maintained.

4. RERA Status: Confirm the MahaRERA registration and completion date on the official portal before you spend time on a site visit.

5. Amenities That You Will Use: Shortlist on amenities that match your routine, such as a gym, play areas or open space, instead of the longest list.

6. Possession Timeline: Match the registered completion date to your needs, and factor in any rent you will pay until then.

7. Total Cost: Ask for a written cost sheet covering agreement value, taxes, stamp duty, registration, parking and maintenance deposits.
