What to check before signing
- Compound location and cluster - proximity to the main gate, mall or clubhouse, and school routes. Perimeter units near busy roads carry more noise.
- Property type match - decide type first (apartment vs ground floor vs villa), then compare within one compound before jumping across compounds.
- Furnishing level - furnished for a faster move-in with an inventory list; unfurnished for lower monthly rent and more setup flexibility.
- Light, ventilation, noise - visit in daylight and again at peak traffic hours. Ten minutes on the balcony or in the garden tells you more than photos.
- Systems - AC capacity for the whole unit, water pressure across floors, backup power, and internet options.
- Ground floor and villa specifics - confirm garden, pool, and irrigation maintenance responsibility in writing before signing.
- Compound rules - pet policy, guest access, staff registration, and any club membership terms tied to the lease.
- Handover - inventory list for furnished units, deposit and refund terms, snag list with dates.
