Buyer’s Guide for Ahmedabad
Your step by step path from “maybe” to keys in hand, without nasty surprises.
- 1Understand your budget & loan eligibilityWork out what you can comfortably spend, including a buffer. Get a loan pre-approval so you know your real range before you fall in love with a place.
- 2Choose localities that fit your lifeWeigh commute, schools, daily needs, future growth and price. SG Highway, Satellite, Bopal, Shela and Gota all feel very different, so pick what suits you.
- 3Shortlist propertiesNarrow to a handful that match your budget, size and locality. Quality over quantity saves a lot of running around.
- 4Visit and compareSee them in person, ideally at different times of day. Check light, water, parking, noise and the neighbours.
- 5Check RERA registrationFor under-construction and many new projects, confirm the RERA number on the Gujarat RERA site. It protects you.
- 6Verify title & legal documentsConfirm clear title, ownership, approved plans, NOC and society dues. A lawyer’s title check is money well spent.

- 8Pay the token amountOnly after basic verification, pay a token to hold the property, with a simple written receipt and agreed timeline.
- 9Sign the sale agreementA clear agreement records price, payment plan, possession date and penalties. Read it carefully before signing.

- 11Pay stamp duty & registerPay stamp duty and registration charges and register the sale deed at the sub-registrar office.
- 12Final payment & possessionMake the final payment, collect keys, and do a joint handover check of the property.
