Practical tips to find the right property developer for your dreamhouse

When looking for a dream house, we are constantly fixated on the usual checklist of budget, location, and amenities. We often tend to overlook the importance of selecting the right builder for the desired property.

Believe it or not, selecting the right builder is half the work done while buying a home. However, unless you are a seasoned investor, it is easy to fall for the glossy brochures and sweet salesy talks that lead to poorly developed properties.

Are you house hunting but don’t know how to choose the right builder? Here is an easy-to-follow guide that can help you select the right property developer.

First things first

So, you have jotted down the names of a few property developers, what next? The first thing to do is to log on to the developers’ website to get an insight of the company. The website should be able to throw some light on the owners, their story, the partners and associates, their projects, and their history in the market. Spend some time on their site and read thoroughly for this will help you narrow down your list of builders that you would like to research more about.

Check out the projects

Take the time to visit the builders’ completed projects. The quality of their existing projects will help you understand what the company believes in. Finding out more information about the layouts and finishes of their projects will give you an idea about what to expect from their future projects.

When you’re at the site, look for signs of quality construction and attention to detail. These visits might be time consuming, but you’ll get some valuable information about the developments like build and finish quality, layout planning, durability and upkeep. After all, seeing is believing.

Research about resale value

As you dive deeper into the real estate realm, you’ll realize that good reputations follow good builders. You want to look for builders whose homes tend to hold or maintain their value to the fullest. While you’re out on the road checking out their old properties, also look for sale ads of homes that are now five years or older. Now, check the name of the builder. If a realtor is listing their property that means they clearly see the builder’s brand name as a big plus.

Talk to existing owners

While looking at the property from outside is great, but it won’t help you make the much-needed pro and con list. What will help you with that list is a quick chat with an existing property owner in the project of a developer of interest.

Only a current owner can give you real, unbiased insight into the developer’s way of working. You could ask questions about developer reliability, service standards, parking issues, satisfaction levels, and many other not-so-visible aspects of property ownership.

Don’t forget the socials

The world is updating its status on social media every day, so it’s only wise to catch a glimpse of the property developer’s socials too. A visit to their social media platforms would reveal latest news, achievements, events and any promotional campaigns that they are running.

Don’t limit yourself to just Instagram and Facebook. A wider online search can give you access to various forums where you can talk about the developer or their projects and get feedback from multiple respondents.

Meet them

After you’ve gathered all the information you could without meeting the developer, it’s time to visit their sales office. You can meet a sales representative and get all your doubts cleared and your queries answered.

Usually, good developers have a team of experienced professionals who not only help you with development-specific questions, but also guide you on a wide variety of real-estate related topics like finance, laws, and insurance

Final takeaway

Buying a house is a decision of a lifetime for many. You’ll be living with this decision for years to come so it is advised that you ponder and evaluate before taking the final call.
