Buying a 10 Year Old Apartment in Bangalore — your questions

Is a 10 year old apartment a risky purchase?+
Not inherently — well-maintained older buildings with clean association records can be a sound purchase, though a structural inspection is worthwhile.
Should an older apartment cost less than a new one?+
Generally yes, reflecting the reduced remaining building lifespan and typically older fittings, though location and maintenance quality also factor in.
How does Relgrow verify a project before listing it?+
Every project shown for older resale listings is checked against the Karnataka RERA portal, along with khata type and sanctioned building plan, before it's added to any shortlist.
