Grihapravesh- Savdhaan Vishraam

The silver lining in the cloud is that the year is almost over. There is hope for a better world soon. Happiness finds a way, and this year, ‘ Home’ is the happiest place. Unquestionably and undisputed, we believe as long as we are home, we are safe.

Vishraam and aaraam is once you Griha Pravesh !

There has been a frenzy at upgrading, renovating, decluttering, and modernizing homes. This excitement of having better homes has led to great home sales in August – September 2020. The preference being ready to move, with a WFH study/ utility room. We hope the trend continues in the new growth corridors like the Dwarka Expressway DWEX.

This triggered the idea of sharing with you what to watch out for when you take possession of your hard-earned and immensely loved new dream home.

Saavdhaan, your Dhan needs your Dhyaan!

Our life needs a Heartsong like “ Yeh Tera Ghar, Yeh Mera Ghar …“ or the Windchants melody “ Ghar se nikalte hi, kuch door chalte hi …”. Either way, buy a better home this festive season. Who had thought we all would play Ghar-Ghar, so seriously, irrespective of age.

Last but not least, the professional and committed developers offer a one-year, defect warranty. Ensure you get this in writing. This is the best quality assurance you can hope for.

Other moves in assistance could include rental, resale, shuttle, grocery home delivery thru residents app, shuttle, etc. In case you had a facilitator or agent, it’s good to keep him/ her with you during Grihapravesh.

I wish all the Torbit readers a very auspicious festive season. Celebrate each day and try to be happy always. Welcome, good luck to your home. Happy Navratri.

Savdhaan first, then Vishraam. Shubh Grihapravesh!
