Investing in real estate is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll make in your lifetime. Whether it’s for personal use or long-term investment, buying a property in Bhubaneswar or any Indian city involves careful research, planning, and due diligence.
At Rainbow Assets Pvt. Ltd., we’ve guided hundreds of clients through successful real estate decisions. Here’s a trusted checklist of key parameters every buyer or investor must consider before putting their money into property.
1. Location: The Foundation of Value
The location of your property will determine its current value and future appreciation. A prime or emerging location ensures better returns and rental demand.
Proximity to schools, hospitals, and commercial areas Connectivity to highways, public transport, and IT hubs Safety, civic amenities, and neighborhood development In Bhubaneswar: Areas like Patia, Kalinga Nagar, Sundarpada, and Tamando are currently booming
Tip: Don’t just look at current infrastructure—check what’s planned in the next 5–10 years.
2. Legal Due Diligence: No Compromise
Legal clarity is non-negotiable in property investment. Always ensure:
- Title ownership is clear
- Land is non-agricultural (for urban properties)
- Property is RERA-registered (for new projects)
- All government approvals are in place (building plan, occupancy, fire, and environment clearances)
A property without proper documents can lead to long, costly legal battles.
3. Builder/Developer Reputation
Whether buying a flat, villa, or commercial space, the track record of the developer matters.
Ask:
- Have they delivered past projects on time?
- Are there any legal disputes pending?
- What do existing customers say about construction quality?
Choose RERA-compliant, trusted developers with a clean reputation in the market. At Rainbow Assets, we work only with verified builders.
4. Pricing, Valuation & ROI
Don’t fall for just the offer price—assess:
- Per sq.ft. price vs market average
- Scope for appreciation in the area
- Rental yield if it’s an investment
- Hidden charges like maintenance, GST, club membership, etc.
Get a professional valuation before making any payment. Remember: “affordable” is good, but “value-for-money” is better.
5. Financial Planning & Loan Eligibility
Calculate:
- Total cost of ownership (not just EMI)
- Stamp duty, registration charges, interior cost
- Loan eligibility from banks or NBFCs
Always keep an emergency fund Choose the right home loan plan (check interest rates, tenure, and prepayment penalties)
6. Purpose of Investment: Residential vs. Commercial vs. Plotted
Are you:
- Buying a home to live in?
- Planning to rent it out?
- Looking for capital appreciation?
- Investing in land for future development?
Different goals demand different strategies. For example:
- Apartments offer rental income but depreciate faster
- Land appreciates better but has lower liquidity
- Commercial spaces yield higher rent but need higher capital
7. Future Growth Indicators
Smart investors buy into the future of a location, not just its present.
Watch for:
- Planned infrastructure projects (metro, IT parks, highways)
- Government schemes (Smart City, AMRUT, Housing for All)
- Migration and job trends in the city
- Retail, educational, and healthcare ecosystem around the property
In Bhubaneswar, areas like Infovalley, Sundarpada-Jatni Belt, and Khurda outskirts are seeing new-age development.
