Redevelopment is a multi-stage process. Most problems arise not due to intent,
but due to missed steps and assumptions.
These checklists are designed for owners of
200–500 sq. yard plots in South Delhi to bring structure and clarity to each stage of redevelopment
Checklist 1: Before Considering Redevelopment
- ☐ Ownership is clear and undisputed
- ☐ All legal heirs identified (if inherited / ancestral property)
- ☐ Property is freehold
- ☐ Plot size confirmed (200–500 sq. yards)
- ☐ Existing construction age understood
- ☐ Willingness to vacate property during construction
- ☐ Time horizon understood (18–24 months)
At this stage, owners should focus on understanding whether redevelopment
is even suitable for their property through a
feasibility assessment.
Checklist 2: Feasibility & Planning Stage
- ☐ Plot redevelopment potential reviewed
- ☐ Colony-specific demand understood
- ☐ Redevelopment vs selling evaluated
- ☐ Realistic expectations set for floors / cash
- ☐ Awareness of key redevelopment risks

Skipping clarity here often leads to disputes later.
Checklist 3: Before Finalising a Builder
- ☐ Builder has experience with similar plot sizes
- ☐ Past projects physically inspected
- ☐ Current project load understood
- ☐ No pressure tactics used to rush signing
- ☐ Builder comfortable with documentation and legal review
Builder evaluation should follow structured
due diligence,
not just verbal assurances or references.
Checklist 4: Before Signing the Joint Development Agreement (JDA)
- ☐ Owner floor allocation clearly mentioned
- ☐ Construction specifications attached
- ☐
