Find the right home in Navi Mumbai

The best area depends on your goal. For families wanting a complete lifestyle, Kharghar (avg ₹18,300/sq.ft) offers metro access, Central Park, and top schools. For investors focused on appreciation, Panvel benefits from Navi Mumbai International Airport and MTHL connectivity (avg ₹14,200/sq.ft). For the lowest entry with metro upside, Taloja starts at ₹8,900/sq.ft. Upper Kharghar gives you larger homes at 40% less than Kharghar. Basaao helps you map the right locality to your specific budget and goals — for free.

Yes. Basaao is a buyer-first property advisory platform in Navi Mumbai that charges zero brokerage from buyers. You get full shortlisting support, verified project information, brochures, floor plans, and site visit accompaniment — at no cost. Basaao earns from developer partnerships, never from the buyer.

Navi Mumbai International Airport became operational in December 2025 and has already pushed prices in Panvel, Ulwe, and surrounding areas upward. Projects like Sai World City in Panvel (RERA: P52000053727) offer 2, 3 & 4 BHK homes from ₹95 L, with strong appreciation potential as airport-linked commercial and residential demand grows. Kharghar, 14 km from the airport, is also seeing renewed demand.

MahaRERA (Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority) is the state regulatory body that every residential project in Maharashtra must register with before selling. A MahaRERA registration means the project timeline, developer disclosures, and escrow fund usage are legally monitored. All projects listed on Basaao carry a valid MahaRERA number — you can verify any project independently at maharera.mahaonline.gov.in.

Carpet area is the actual usable floor area inside your flat's walls — the space where you can literally lay a carpet. Built-up area adds wall thickness. Super built-up area further adds a proportional share of common areas like lobbies, stairs, and amenity spaces. Since 2017, MahaRERA mandates that builders quote prices only on carpet area basis, which is more transparent for buyers. Always compare projects using carpet area, not super built-up area.

Stamp duty in Maharashtra is 5% of the agreement value for properties above ₹45 lakh, plus 1% local body tax for Navi Mumbai (NMMC or Panvel Municipal Corporation). Registration charges are 1% (capped at ₹30,000 for properties above ₹30 lakh). Women buyers get a 1% stamp duty concession. On a ₹1 crore flat, budget approximately ₹6–7 lakh in stamp duty and registration charges.

They serve different priorities. Kharghar is the better choice if you want to live in your property now — established social infrastructure, metro, Central Park, reputed schools, and a complete residential ecosystem. Panvel is the stronger bet for pure appreciation — it is the primary beneficiary of Navi Mumbai International Airport, MTHL (Mumbai Trans Harbour Link), and Navi Mumbai Metro extension. Budget: Kharghar at ₹18,300/sq.ft vs Panvel at ₹14,200/sq.ft. If you can wait 5–7 years, Panvel's upside may outperform.

Yes. NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) can purchase residential property in India including Navi Mumbai without RBI approval, under FEMA regulations. NRIs can make payments from NRE/NRO accounts or through inward remittances. They are subject to the same stamp duty and registration charges as residents. NRIs cannot buy agricultural land or farmhouses. Basaao assists NRI buyers with project shortlisting, documentation guidance, and virtual site visits.

Under-construction properties are flats sold before the building is complete — typically 2–4 years before possession. They are priced 10–25% lower than ready-to-move options, which is the primary advantage. Risks include possession delays, construction quality uncertainty, and the fact that you pay EMIs before occupying. MahaRERA reduces these risks by requiring developers to maintain 70% of buyer funds in escrow. Always check the developer's track record and existing project delivery history before booking.

Step 1: Fix your budget including stamp duty (add 7% to agreement value). Step 2: Shortlist your locality based on commute, lifestyle, and timeline. Step 3: Compare 3–5 verified RERA projects in that locality. Step 4: Do a site visit with an advisor who can ask the right questions. Step 5: Review the builder-buyer agreement and payment plan before paying the booking amount. Basaao guides you through every step at zero cost to the buyer.
