More per square feet

Track zoning, land rules

Do thorough dilligence. Check for local zoning laws and rules on land use before planning to buy real estate in Ayodhya.

Don't forget the curbs

Check for restrictions on construction and development activities due to the religious significance of the temple town.

Do the basics

Check availability and adequacy of basic utilities such as water supply, electricity, and sewage systems and assess whether the infrastructure matches your requirements.

Check for accessibility

Check for accessibility and proximity of the property to major roads, highways, and public transportation hubs.

Follow the master plan

Go through the city's master plan to guage any future projects or changes in planning norms if you are buying for investment purposes.
