Before you buy a flat near Kolkata, here’s a must-have checklist from Properti Connect. From location and legalities to safety and resale value—don’t miss a thing!
Buying a flat isn’t just a real estate decision—it’s a life decision. And if you’re considering suburbs near Kolkata like Newtown, Rajarhat, Barasat, or Madhyamgram, you’re in for a sweet spot: peaceful living with solid connectivity and infrastructure.
But before you rush into it, Properti Connect is here to walk you through the smart buyer’s checklist.
Because let’s face it—this is your family’s future home, not just four walls and a fancy floor plan.
🚦Connectivity & Daily Commute
- Road Access: Major links like Biswa Bangla Sarani, EM Bypass, and VIP Road are lifelines.
- Metro & Public Transport: Proximity to metro stations (like Newtown, Salt Lake, Barasat), buses, and autos makes a huge difference.
- Planned Developments: Upcoming metro corridors, flyovers, and arterial road upgrades will raise both comfort and property value.
Pro Tip: Test your commute on a weekday before you say yes.
