Buying your first flat is a big momentâexciting, emotional, and often a little overwhelming. Itâs easy to get swept up in the dream and miss some key details that can cost you later.
At Admire Infra Group, we want to make sure your first home is everything you hoped forâwithout regrets. So here are 5 common mistakes first-time buyers make (and how to avoid them):
â 1. Not Researching the Builderâs Track Record
The mistake: Trusting flashy brochures or offers without checking the developerâs background.
What to do instead:
â
Look at past projectsâwere they delivered on time?
â
Check RERA registration and online reviews
â
Visit a completed site to assess construction quality
Tip: With 25+ years in the business, Admire Infra Group takes pride in on-time delivery and clear documentation.
â 2. Ignoring Hidden Costs
The mistake: Budgeting only for the flatâs base price.
What to do instead:
Be aware of extra charges such as:
- GST
- Stamp duty & registration fees
- Maintenance deposits
- Parking, club access, or floor rise charges
Tip: Always ask for an all-inclusive cost sheetâand expect full transparency from your builder (we provide this upfront).
â 3. Overstretching Your Budget
The mistake: Booking a flat with EMIs that leave you financially stressed every month.
What to do instead:
â
Use a home loan EMI calculator
â
Keep EMIs within 35â40% of your monthly income
â
Factor in future life expenses (kids, career shifts, etc.)
Tip: We offer flexible payment plans and help you choose one that suits your lifestyle.
â 4. Skipping the Site Visit
The mistake: Finalizing a flat just based on brochures or floor plans.
What to do instead:
â
Visit the actual site
â
See the sample flat
â
Check the surrounding area: roads, schools, hospitals, metro access
Tip: Book a site visit with us anytimeâyouâll get a guided tour of the layout, amenities, and neighborhood.
â 5. Not Reading the Agreement Carefully
The mistake: Signing paperwork without reading the fine print.
What to do instead:
â
Review the Agreement for Sale
â
Understand payment milestones, penalty clauses, and possession timelines
â
Get legal advice if needed
Tip: At Admire Infra Group, we walk you through every clause to ensure youâre 100% comfortable before signing.
