How To Evaluate Real Estate Companies in India (Quick Checklist For Buyers & Investors)
Check these when you assess some developer or some project:
- History of time delivery: How many projects on time delivered within 5-10 years? This is reflected in the annual reports where they indicate projects that were finished and those that were under construction.
- Finance: Consider the amount of net debt, cash flow, receivables and inventory – located in consolidated balance sheet and investor presentations.
- Quality of land bank: Location (urban vs peripheral), approval status, clear titles – these influence future risk during the project.
- Customer satisfaction: Reviews, delivery schedules and after handover services.
- Regulatory compliance & disclosures: Make sure that there is no pending litigation, RERA disclosure (state Real Estate Regulatory Authority), and an environmental clearance.
- Unit economics: Margin by project (recorded in annual financial reports or investor presentation reports) and project recognition expectancy.
Investment & Buying Tips
- Higher completion risk Prefer developed projects or developers with a high completion history.
- Confirm these in terms of Check RERA registration and project status on the state RERA portal that is pertinent to them and before making major advances.
- Compare possession schedules and penalties – most builders have some provision regarding possession schedules and penalties against delay and the buyer must carefully understand them before making a purchase.
- Examine payment schemes – developer payment stacked plans decrease buyer capitals.
- Investors have to assess rental returns in the micro-location, future supply track and tenant makeup (in commercial/malls). It is open leasing data of Phoenix Mills and Oberoi Realty to estimate yield and occupancy.
Risks To Keep In Mind
- Time can be extended by regulatory delay (town planning), approval delay (environmental clearances).
- Interest rate risk can be paying up interest on the mortgages and has an influence on the affordability of buyers and sales speed.
- Concentration risk exists because the developers were exposed to more than one city, local cyclical risk exists.
- Liquidity & market cycles such as FY 24-25 was good, and the real estate market is a cyclical market; long term demands in the holding period could be necessary.
- Corporate governance is less well-known or smaller promoters may pose a risk in governance; smaller or opaque promoters be opaque prefer well-disclosed public companies. (Check SEBI filings & Annual reports).
