Selling

Month 20–26Marketing from structure-complete; registration after the occupancy certificate, so no GST.

The timeline

Two separate buyers means two separate exits. The first sale repays the loans and most of the investor's capital.

Already in place

SanadIn place for the plot, so the building approvals can start straight away.

Clear titleA clean 500 m² plot, ready to build on.

Design within the rules7.6 m to the eaves against a 9 m limit, 3 m setbacks, and 2 parking spaces per villa in its own court.

No RERA registration neededA 500 m² plot with two villas is within the RERA Act's exemption (Section 3(2)(a)), so there is no registration step before work starts.

Precedent next doorThe neighbouring plot has been granted the same 20 % FAR relaxation.

Bank financeA ₹0.90 Cr–₹1.00 Cr construction loan expected, which cuts the investor's cash.

Two separate buyersEach villa has its own gate, court, pool and title, so the two sales are two independent exits.
