Illegal Apartments in Bangalore — What to Watch For — your questions

How can I tell if an apartment building is illegal or unauthorised?+
Check RERA registration, compare the actual building against its BBMP-sanctioned plan, and verify khata status — significant mismatches are the clearest red flags.
What happens if I unknowingly buy in an illegal building?+
Consequences can include demolition orders for unauthorised portions, difficulty obtaining loans or resale, and legal complications — thorough pre-purchase verification is the best protection.
How does Relgrow verify a project before listing it?+
Every project shown for legally-verified listings is checked against the Karnataka RERA portal, along with khata type and sanctioned building plan, before it's added to any shortlist.
