Here's something people will never tell you now: the builder floor is not a legally recognized entity like a HUDA plot or flat in a registered society. What most buyers realize is only after it's too late - a non-registered floor, a disputed terrace and an "additional" floor, which wasn't even legalized at all!
And here's what you need to know about it: this guide provides you with the 10-point check list that lies between you and the risk. No matter if it's your first time buying a 3BHK for yourself or a 4 BHK luxury floor as an investment option, this checklist needs to be followed before you part with the token amount of money.
What Exactly Is a Builder Floor?
A builder floor in Faridabad usually constitutes of an entire floor of a low-rise building (G+2 or G+3), built on a single plot of land, with each floor having separate ownership rights. Whereas a flat is constructed within a large group of houses in an apartment complex, a builder floor will provide you with your own entrance and no lobby in common. There's no shared lift or stilt parking either – that's why there's been a constant rise in the demand for independent floors in Faridabad in sectors 65, 69, 64, 62, 14 and 15.
The following guidelines don't relate to whether you are better off buying a builder floor rather than a flat – they relate to things that should be checked when you have decided that you are interested in purchasing a builder floor.
The One Thing Buyers Never Check — and It's the Riskiest Part
This is the critical distinction of structure that most people tend to overlook: In case of a builder floor, the land is commonly owned by more than one person or the plot was initially a single one and then got split amongst many owners of different floors. This implies that:
- Title documents of the underlying plot are just as important as that of the floor itself.
- There might be multiple co-owners for the plot where multiple floors are constructed, and disputes amongst these co-owners will impact your floor despite having correct documents in case of the floor itself.
- Adding extra floors without the sanction of construction in old sectors and colonies is always a possibility. Make sure the floor you are buying is sanctioned.
It is for this very reason that a builder floor purchase is as crucial as a HUDA plot in Faridabad purchase — even more so, if not!
The 10-Point Document Checklist — Print This Before Your Next Site Visit
Before you deposit even a token sum on any builder floor in Faridabad, please check the following documents:
1. Sale Deed or Registry of the Plot Underlying the Builder Floor Proves how the seller or the builder acquired the plot and whether there are any defects in the process of acquiring the same.
2. Sanctioned Building Plan/Mapped Plan Should be issued by the Municipal Corporation of Faridabad (MCF). It proves the maximum number of floors allowed in the plot, which is very important as the most common problem in builder floors is of additional or unauthorized floor.
3. Completion Certificate and Occupation Certificate (OC) The OC ensures that the builder floor has been constructed as per the sanctioned plan and it is fit for occupation.
4. Registry and mutation (intkal) of your particular floor There will be an individual registered sale deed in the name of your floor and not some portion of the total property. Inquire about the type of registration that has been done on your floor – whether it has been registered individually or as an undivided share.
5. No-dues certificate/encumbrance certificate This is to verify that there are no outstanding dues on the property by way of any loan or mortgage.
6. NOC from concerned authority, where required There may be some developer floor projects where NOC is required from town planning authorities or development authorities, particularly in new sectors like Greater Faridabad.
7. Rights to terraces and documentation of common areas One common issue that leads to disputes among floor owners is knowing in writing who owns the right to use the terrace, construction rights, and common areas (stairs, parking space, and water tanks).
8. RERA registration, when applicable Some bigger floor buildings may be covered by HRERA based on their size. One must check the registration number of the builder and verify it through the HRERA website.
9. Reputation of the builder and experience with completed projects The potential buyer should ask for information on other projects completed by the builder and speak with floor owners from the same building if possible. A builder that maintains proper documentation records will make the registry easier.
10. Fire Department NOC (For large buildings) In some cases where the building exceeds a particular height or number of units, NOC for fire safety should be obtained in addition to the NOC that is required for other aspects of the building.
5 Red Flags That Should Make You Walk Away Immediately
- Floor-wise sale without registration — the developer gives you only a "possession letter" or GPA (General Power of Attorney), rather than registering your floor in a sale deed.
- Difference in sanctioned plan and built-up floor-wise plans — additional floors, extension of balcony or terrace, which is not reflected in the sanctioned plan.
- Unspecific rights for terrace and parking — oral commitments regarding terrace usage or parking facility, but no such information is present in the sale deed.
- Absence of Occupation Certificate on a "ready to move" floor — an important red flag.
Problems with co-owners who own the plot together; they may hold up the process of registration or even cause future litigation despite the absence of problems with your floor's documents.
Loan Eligibility: What Banks Check on a Builder Floor
Builder floors in Faridabad are usually financed by banks when:
- There is an individual registered sale deed of the floor (and not just an undivided interest)
- The building is provided with an Occupancy Certificate
- The sanctioned layout is similar to the actual layout
- The title of the plot is very clear
In the absence of any of these requirements, there will be either loan denial or lower LTV ratio.

Price Range Context: What Builder Floors Cost in Faridabad
Prices of builder floors in Faridabad are highly varied depending on the sector, floor number and specification. While a resale floor of 2 BHK from an old, central sector will cost well under a lakh per sq. yd., the price of a luxurious 3 or 4 BHK builder floor with private elevator, terrace rights and stilt parking from sectors such as 65 or 69 will be towards the higher end. Even floor numbers play a role when pricing – the price of ground floor may be high because of ease of access, while that of the top floor will depend on whether it comes with exclusive terrace rights. Always check whether the quote includes registry and stamp duty costs while comparing quotes among dealers.
How Nakul Properties Verifies Builder Floors Before Listing
