Renters, aapke according flat final karne se pehle sabse important cheez kya check karni chahiye?
🏠 Owner / landlord ka behaviour
💧 Water pressure & availability
⚡ Electricity backup / bill
🦟 Cockroach, insects, mould etc.
🔊 Neighbours & noise
🚗 Parking
📶 Internet/network
🔐 Security
🧹 Maintenance response
💰 Hidden charges
Mere hisaab se photos aur rent se zyada important hai “6 months baad yahan rehna kaisa lagega?”
Aapne rental flat mein sabse unexpected problem kya face ki hai? 👇

I have purchased a flat recently in Kolkata. I just need a clarification from experienced folks here. If I bought a flat worth 1cr I will be paying flat cost minus 1% TDS to my builder OR I will be paying flat cost plus 1% TDS to my builder. My builder is asking me to pay the TDS which I have paid and adding TDS in the cost of the flat. Kindly help guys.

Hi,

I need a flat for rent as my office is near St Xavier College (Park Street)

My requirements are -

3BHK (1000+ sqft)
Car parking
Preferably gated society
Budget - within 25k (unfurnished)
Avoid - Tiljala; Park Circus; Kasba areas.
Preferable - Phoolbagan, Maniktalla, Khanna (I don’t want to commute more than 20kms one way)

Came here to rant about how unreal the real estate market in Newtown area is.
I started looking for a 2bhk in Newtown area in December 2025, tried to market research how the prices were going. It was around 54-60 back then. Last 6 months I have contacted all the brokers in Newtown area and now the property prices are at 65-70.
All I want to know if the land valuation is correct or not. Are they doing any kind of land assessment before quoting? Because if you look at the development, we have literally 4 office buildings there. There is no news of new companies coming. Dont start with financial companies moving from dalhousie to Newtown, we dont know what new govt is planning. But seems like nobody is paying any heed to IT industry there.
Then why did brokers up the prices by 5-10lakh in 6 months. Also the rent in that area is not that much as well, so rental yield is a joke as of now.
I really wanna know how these prices are getting decided.
Its like im never catching up with it, by the time I would reach a state to invest 65-70, the prices will be 80-85
And yeah, I tried to negotiate a lot, but they know they would get buyers so…
Anyone else feels similar? Let’s trauma-bond ig!

Looking for a flat/PG/flatmate near Techno Main Salt Lake

- RO drinking water is mandatory

- Washing machine is mandatory

Preferably somewhere convenient for Techno Main Salt Lake / Sector V Metro.

So today I found a ready-to-move apartment in AA2 Newtown near Akankha. It's good and in a spacious area. Everything looks nice and seems too good to be true, so I want to trust my gut and verify. I have direct contact with the owner-cum-builder, so no broker is involved. It will be booked by someone else soon, and they have already paid the token amount. If I want to take it, I have to hurry up and do the registration, and whoever does it gets the flat. However, I want my doubts cleared regarding its genuineness and if it's worth it. I need general information and wise advice.

Due to my budget constraints, I can't afford any other 2BHKs near Newtown AA1.

South City Garden, tollygunge
1 room in 3 bedroom semi furnish flat with ac, on 12 floor
Rent -12k

•swimming pool

Why don’t more real estate investors buy distressed properties at auctions in Kolkata?

I have done a few of those deals at 20%-35% discount to market value.

Most of my friends I have spoken with think it’s a complex process and legally grey.

That’s really not the case. Most properties I have dealt with are legally clean with a valid court order allowing an auction.

Ask me any questions you have on bank auction properties in Kolkata in the comments, I’ll try to answer them.

Hi everyone,
I’m planning to buy a flat in AA1, New Town, but I understand that the building is under a cooperative society.
I’m considering the property both as an investment and for renting it out. Is buying a flat in a cooperative society a good option for this purpose?
Are there any major drawbacks or differences compared with buying a freehold property? Do tenants have any preference?
If anyone has experience with cooperative housing societies in New Town/HIDCO areas, I’d really appreciate your advice and insights.
Thanks in advance!
