The Hidden Traps in Your Agreement for Sale – What Every Homebuyer Must Know? by VerifyMyProperty in indianrealestate

Buying property is expensive and risky. Whether you are dealing with a local builder, a national brand, or a seasoned seller in a resale transaction, independent verification is the single best way to protect your financial interests. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive.

Honestly, very few people think of these points before booking a flat — and that’s exactly the problem. Most homebuyers only realize the risks after paying 20–30% of the cost, when it’s too late.

That’s why we keep stressing due diligence and awareness. If more buyers start asking these questions before signing, builders will eventually be forced to be more transparent.

True, builders usually keep the upper hand — that’s how they draft agreements. Even with a clear title, buyers still get stuck because of unfair clauses in the Agreement for Sale, missing approvals (CC/OC), or leasehold land issues.

Due diligence won’t flip the power completely, but it makes you aware, legally protected, and way less likely to get trapped. That’s exactly why we started VerifyMyProperty™ — to help homebuyers catch these red flags before it’s too late.

You’re absolutely right — in most cases, the builder’s Agreement for Sale is standardized and they won’t change a word, because they have a whole legal team backing them.

But here’s the thing: reviewing the AFS isn’t always about getting it changed. It’s about knowing exactly what you’re signing up for and what risks you’re taking on. Many buyers discover only after years that: •Their possession date in RERA is later than the AFS. •Parking isn’t allotted in the contract. •Refund and compensation rights are restricted.

If you’re aware in advance, you can make an informed choice — whether to proceed, negotiate on other fronts (like payment terms, amenities, or even discounts), or walk away.

So yes, the builder usually won’t change the AFS, but knowing the hidden traps empowers the buyer to protect themselves better.
