Before booking an under-construction property, review the project's approvals, the developer's track record on past projects, and the payment plan being offered. A construction-linked payment plan ties your payments to actual progress, which is generally lower risk than a plan requiring large upfront payments.

It is also worth checking the RERA registration details for the project, including the disclosed possession timeline, and comparing that timeline against the developer's history of meeting past deadlines.

Finally, read the agreement for clauses on delay compensation, cancellation terms and what happens if specifications change during construction. These details matter more than the initial price when things do not go exactly as planned.
