Checklist Before Booking Your Gated Villa in Chennai | SB Properties

Buying a Villa? Start with the Right Checklist

Purchasing a gated villa in Chennai is one of the most rewarding investments you can make — both financially and emotionally. It’s not just about owning a property; it’s about finding the perfect place where your family can live securely and comfortably for years to come.

However, the process can be overwhelming. From checking legal approvals to evaluating amenities and builder credibility, every detail matters.

That’s why SB PROPERTIES, with over 11 years of experience and 500+ villas delivered across Chennai, has created this ultimate checklist to guide you before booking your dream home.

Verify CMDA or DTCP Approval

The first and most crucial step before booking any property in Chennai is to verify whether it is CMDA or DTCP approved.

• Why it matters:
  CMDA (Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority) approval ensures that the project follows all building norms, zoning laws, and safety standards.
• How to verify:
  Ask for the CMDA approval number or copy from the builder. You can also cross-check it on the official CMDA website.

Tip: SB PROPERTIES’ ongoing projects, like SB Gated Villas in Velachery, are 100% CMDA approved — giving buyers complete legal confidence.

Confirm the Builder’s Credentials

Before you make any payments, research the builder’s background and reputation.

• How long have they been in business?
• How many projects have they completed?
• Do they have positive customer reviews?
• Are there any pending legal disputes?

A trusted builder will always have a transparent track record and provide references or testimonials from previous clients.

Tip: SB PROPERTIES has over 11+ years of expertise and 500+ happy homeowners — with a strong reputation for on-time delivery and quality construction.

Check Construction Quality

A home is only as strong as its foundation. During your visit or inspection, pay attention to:

• RCC framed structure
• Tile and flooring quality
• Plumbing and electrical fittings
• Wall plastering and paint finish
• Waterproofing and anti-termite treatments

Ask about the brands used for tiles, sanitary ware, and wiring — reliable builders will always disclose these details upfront.

SB PROPERTIES Tip: Every SB villa uses branded materials like Parryware, Hindware, and UPVC fittings, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.

Review the Legal Documents

Always verify key property documents before booking your villa:

• Sale deed
• Land title and parent document
• CMDA or DTCP approval copy
• Encumbrance certificate (EC)
• Patta / Chitta
• Building plan approval

SB PROPERTIES provides complete document transparency before signing, ensuring a smooth, stress-free buying experience.

Evaluate the Location & Connectivity

Location is everything when it comes to real estate investment. Consider:

• Proximity to schools, hospitals, malls, and transportation
• Road width and connectivity to main areas
• Drainage and water supply in the locality
• Flood safety and neighborhood infrastructure

For example, Velachery, Medavakkam, and Tambaram are among Chennai’s most sought-after villa locations due to their balance of convenience and peaceful living.

SB PROPERTIES projects are strategically located near schools, MRTS, and shopping centers, ensuring maximum livability.

Look for Essential Amenities

A gated villa isn’t just about the home — it’s about the community lifestyle it offers.

Make sure the project includes:

• Gated security with CCTV
• Wide internal roads (30 ft or 60 ft)
• Water sump and overhead tank
• Individual EB and septic tank
• Car parking space
• Landscaped surroundings

SB Gated Villas in Velachery comes with all these features, offering privacy and comfort in a peaceful community setting.

Understand the Pricing Structure

Before booking, make sure you understand the complete cost breakdown, including:

• Base price per sq.ft
• Registration & stamp duty
• Maintenance charges
• Utility connections (EB, water)
• Landscaped surroundings

Avoid hidden charges by choosing a transparent builder who shares a detailed price sheet upfront.

SB PROPERTIES maintains 100% pricing transparency — no hidden costs, only clear communication.

Check Home Loan Eligibility

If you plan to finance your villa purchase through a home loan, confirm whether the project is approved by major banks like HDFC, SBI, ICICI, or LIC Housing Finance.

Bank approval also acts as an additional layer of legal verification for the project.

SB PROPERTIES offers full loan assistance — helping you get approvals from trusted banks easily.

Inspect the Floor Plan & Space Utilization

A well-designed villa layout makes a big difference in daily comfort.

Look For:

• Proper ventilation and sunlight
• Sufficient space in bedrooms and living areas
• Defined kitchen and utility space
• Balcony or terrace access

Tip: SB PROPERTIES designs each villa with functional layouts — blending beauty with practicality.

Ask About the Delivery Timeline

Before signing any agreement, confirm the possession timeline and check the builder’s past record of on-time delivery.

SB PROPERTIES maintains a consistent track record of delivering villas within 9–12 months, ensuring zero delay for homeowners.

Bonus Tip: Post-Purchase Support

A good builder’s relationship with the customer doesn’t end with handing over the keys.

Ask about after-sales support — such as assistance with maintenance, warranty coverage, and property tax registration.

SB PROPERTIES is known for long-term client relationships and prompt post-handover support.
