1. Select knowledgeable real estate broker: The process of buying a home is a tedious one but the whole experience can be enhanced by a good real estate consultant.

A good neighborhood with well- developed social infrastructure always makes a huge difference as it directly affects the value of the property.
5. Disputed Property: One of the most crucial steps is conducting a detailed check on the credentials of the developer and the property before making a decision on purchase.
