How to Verify Builder Reputation Before Investing

The single biggest predictor of a good real-estate outcome is the developer. Here's how to size them up in 20 minutes.

Delivery record

Ask for a list of the last 5 delivered projects with month of OC. Visit two. Talk to the RWA president.

Financial stability

If listed, check quarterly results and debt-equity. If unlisted, check the MCA filing for CIN, latest balance sheet and auditor's remarks.

HRERA history

Search the promoter on hrera.in — count total projects, active projects, complaints and closed complaints.

Litigation & consumer forum

Search consumer forum, NCDRC and high court cases. A handful is normal for a large developer; 20+ active is a red flag.

Buyer reviews

Read the sub-reddit r/gurgaon, MagicBricks reviews, Google reviews of the parent company office. Look for patterns, not one-off complaints.
