1. Check ownership and other legal papers This is very important especially if the property has changed many hands.
2. Avoid homes with major structural changes These changes may not have been sanctioned by relevant authorities.
3. Check if all dues related to the property have been paid These include property tax and utility bills like those for electricity and water.
4. Steer clear of very old buildings The useful life of a building in India is typically 50 years. So, stay away from properties that are more than 25 years old, if you intend to take a 20-year home loan.
