Local rules and what to check
Buying adds costs on top of the price: stamp duty, registration charges, TDS and legal fees, according to purchase guides. Ask the seller for papers that prove ownership or a valid lease before you pay anything. A business that uses the space needs a trade licence, where fees for service businesses run from ₹300 to ₹3,000, and a Shops and Establishments licence for an office generally costs ₹5,000 to ₹15,000, depending on the number of employees. Also check the agreement type: a licence agreement calls the payment a licence fee, while a commercial lease calls it rent.
Season and climate
The climate here is tropical, with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer, so there is no winter lull to plan around. Heavy rain makes site visits and fit-outs harder, so book viewings and handover dates for the drier months. Warehouses and factory units are best judged on foot, with the yard and loading area in sight, so visit in person before you sign.
How space is measured and priced
Listings give the area in square feet and quote one price for the whole unit. Name the city, which can be Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai, and the area in sq ft. A 2,500 sq ft unit is listed at ₹1.10 crore and a commercial plot at ₹2.79 crore, so the size changes the price far more than the wording of the listing does.
What to put in your request
Say whether you want to buy or rent, the city and the area in sq ft, and the use: office, retail, warehouse, coworking desks or an hourly hall. Add whether a ready-to-move unit is needed or an under-construction one is acceptable, the lease term for rent, and your budget in rupees.
BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the space in your own words in a chat, and the AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in India, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers receive your request and reply in the chat with their offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to share them with, and you can also send the request link to local agents yourself.
