Frequently Asked Questions

Straightforward answers to common questions about finding, buying, renting, selling and managing property with Surabhi Realtors.

Buying a Property

Practical guidance from shortlisting through registration.

How do I begin searching for a property in Thane?

Start with a comfortable budget, home-loan eligibility, preferred property type, locality and move-in timeline. Our team can use these requirements to shortlist suitable, currently available properties and arrange the next steps.

Can Surabhi Realtors arrange property visits?

Yes. We coordinate property visits with owners or developers, subject to availability. Once a suitable time is confirmed, we share the meeting details and help you compare the shortlisted options.

Do you assist with resale and under-construction properties?

Yes. We assist with both. The checks differ: resale transactions require ownership, society and dues-related review, while under-construction purchases require careful review of RERA details, approvals, payment schedules and possession commitments.

What costs should I budget for beyond the property price?

Depending on the transaction, additional costs may include stamp duty, registration charges, applicable taxes, loan processing fees, society or maintenance charges and brokerage or professional fees. Current amounts should always be confirmed before you commit.

Renting & Letting

Answers for tenants and property owners looking to let a home.

What documents are commonly required to rent a property?

Tenants are commonly asked for identity and address proof, employment or income information and, in some cases, references. Exact requirements depend on the owner, society and the terms agreed by both parties.

How are the deposit, rent and notice period decided?

These terms are negotiated between the owner and tenant based on the property and current local market. The agreed rent, deposit, tenure, notice period and responsibilities should be clearly recorded in the registered agreement.

Can you help an owner rent out a property?

Yes. We can assist with marketing, enquiry handling, property visits, tenant-screening coordination, agreement support and handover. The property owner retains final approval of the tenant and commercial terms.

Do you help with leave-and-license documentation?

We can coordinate the agreed terms, required documents and registration process. Both parties should review the final agreement carefully and obtain independent legal advice whenever needed.

Selling & Property Management

Planning, marketing and ongoing property support for owners.

How do I list my property for sale?

Share the property details, ownership documents, KYC information and available photographs with our team. We can then discuss positioning, an appropriate asking price, marketing and the visit process before publishing the listing.

How is the asking price for a property estimated?

An estimate considers comparable transactions, competing inventory, the property condition, floor, view, amenities, title readiness and current demand in the micro-market. The final asking price is always decided by the owner.

What can property management include?

Depending on the agreed scope, property management may include marketing, tenant coordination, rent follow-ups, renewals, inspections and maintenance coordination. The exact responsibilities and fees should be documented before the service begins.

How long does it take to sell or rent a property?

There is no fixed timeline. It depends on pricing, demand, property condition, document readiness, access for visits and how quickly both parties can negotiate and complete the required formalities.

RERA, Documents & Due Diligence

Understand RERA information, documentation and due diligence.

What does “RERA Verified” mean on a listing?

It means the RERA registration information supplied for the property has been reviewed before the tag is displayed, where RERA registration is applicable. It is not a guarantee of title, approvals or a transaction, so buyers should still complete independent legal and technical due diligence.

Which property documents should a buyer review?

Important documents can include ownership and title records, the chain of previous agreements, encumbrance information, property-tax and society dues, approved plans, occupancy or completion documents and applicable RERA records. A qualified legal professional should review documents for the specific transaction.

Where can I find a property’s RERA number?

When a confirmed RERA number is available, it can appear on the property detail page. You should independently verify the project and registration information on the official MahaRERA website before making a decision.

Does Surabhi Realtors provide legal advice?

We support document collection, process coordination and transaction follow-up. A formal title opinion or legal interpretation should come from a qualified lawyer appointed for your transaction.

Home Loans & Investment

Clear expectations for home loans and property investment.

Do you assist with home loans?

Yes. We can help coordinate lender options, eligibility discussions and documentation. The lender independently decides the sanctioned amount, interest rate, tenure and final approval.

Can you guarantee a home-loan rate or approval?

No. Loan approval and pricing depend on the lender’s policies, the applicant’s credit and income profile, the property documents and other eligibility checks. Any quoted rate remains subject to the lender’s final sanction.

Can you help with property investment decisions?

We can help evaluate objectives, budget, holding period, local supply, rental expectations, liquidity and risk across relevant micro-markets. Property returns are never guaranteed, and buyers should make an independent financial decision.

Which locations do you serve?

Our primary focus is Thane and its surrounding micro-markets. We also assist with selected opportunities in Mumbai and the wider MMR when suitable inventory and service coverage are available.
