Residential Valuation in Saket

Saket is three residential markets sharing one name, and the most common valuation error here is using the evidence from the wrong one. Establishing what you own comes before establishing what it is worth.

Authority flats, society apartments and builder floors

All three exist here in quantity and they do not track one another. Ages differ, maintenance differs, buyer pools differ and so do the rates the evidence shows.

A builder floor rate applied to an older authority flat, or the reverse, produces a figure that is wrong by a wide margin. We identify which market you are in first.

The mall cluster and the metro

Proximity to the mall cluster and the metro is one of the clearer location premiums in south Delhi, and it does not fall evenly across Saket. Evidence from the closest pockets is not transferable to the further ones.

Saket sits in category C of the circle rate schedule, which is the registration floor. The market sits above it across most of the colony.

Condition varies more than in most colonies

The older authority stock here ranges from well kept to genuinely neglected, and the variation is between blocks as much as between flats. Two flats of identical size can be different assets.

Our engineer records structural condition, common area upkeep, seepage evidence and whether services have been renewed, because all of it bears on the price a buyer will actually pay.

What a residential report here sets out

The market you are in and why, the comparables used with their dates, the adjustments made for floor, size and condition, and the land and structure split where the property is a builder floor.

Questions we get in Saket

Our flat is a DDA one but the block has been well maintained.

That is worth real money and we record it. Maintenance is one of the biggest differentiators within the authority stock here.

Is a society apartment better than a builder floor?

Neither is better in the abstract. Societies bring shared amenities and rules; builder floors bring independence and usually newer construction. The evidence for each is what sets the value.

We are a short walk from the metro. How much is that worth?

It shows in the evidence and we take it from there rather than applying a percentage. In this colony it is a meaningful factor.

The valuation came in below what we expected. Why?

The most common reasons here are comparables drawn from the wrong one of the three markets, or condition. Ask which sales were used. If they were from a different market, that is worth raising.
