We are selling one floor of a house that has four. How is that valued?

You own a share of the land plus that specific floor. We value the land share and the built floor together, then adjust for which floor it is, because ground and top floors do not carry the same value.

Our house was rebuilt in 2008 but bought in 1979. Which date matters for tax?

For capital gains the original purchase date is what counts, so 1979, which means the 1 April 2001 value rule applies to you. What you spent rebuilding is treated separately as improvement cost.

Is a corner plot really worth more here?

Yes, and often significantly. Two open sides mean better light, better access and more scope to build. Buyers pay for it and the report reflects it.

About property in South Delhi

South Delhi is what most people picture when they think of expensive Delhi property. It runs from the diplomatic colonies around Vasant Vihar through the planned colonies of the sixties and seventies, and it holds a mix of large independent kothis and builder floors. The builder floor is the defining stock type here. An old kothi is bought, demolished, and four floors are built and sold separately, which is why one address can now contain four owners.

What affects value here

Builder floors need care. Ground floors with parking and lawn rights sell for noticeably more than the middle floors.
Many kothis have been rebuilt, so the age on paper and the age of the actual structure are often different.
Colony categories vary sharply within a short distance, so the correct category has to be confirmed rather than assumed.

Colony categories in this district

In South Delhi the colonies mostly fall in categories A to C.

Delhi grades every residential colony from A at the top down to H, and each band carries an official rate per square metre. Category A is the top band in Delhi, covering the most expensive colonies in the city. A review is under way that may add a new A plus band above it.
