Understand your requirement:
The best way to get best deal is understanding your requirement.There are many options available some may not fit your requirement for example you have to specify whether you need 1/2/3bhk flat or studio flat, furnished/unfurnished, any floor specification, exact budget, location, within how many days you need the flat, building with amenties and security or with no amenties, building with society or no such compulsion, house or apartment once all this details have been noted down you can start your hunt for the flat.
Find the sources where you can find the properties or contact real estate agent:
Next step is you need to find the sources online or offline where you can find the properties which meets your requirement filter all properties. some of the sources where you can find flats are local newspaper, real estate sites eg. www.amazeland.in, olx or quickr, local reference, any other source, magazine, etc.
Incase you dont have time to filter properties and do it by your own you can always find the right agent to do this job for you, there will be one month brokerage applicable as their fees.
Now call the owners or brokers and confirm the details, take appointment:
Next step is to call all the owners/brokers and tell them about your background. some owners have problem keeping bachelor/family tenant, tenant of some specific religion, tenant what type of he having job or they need tenant having transferable job. By calling and having discussion will save a lot of time.
Once everything is confirmed now you may take the appointment and have site visit.
Make sure you have given one month notice already to your present landlord:
If you are allready staying in some local flat in goa and looking for new accommodation its important that you give one month notice to your present landlord and inform him about date of vacating premises else he might disagree to return your security deposit amount or deduct part of it as penalty.
It can even lead to loss of time and energy if once you have finalized new premises and your present landlord refuses to let you vacate premises.
Visiting the premises:
This is very important stage as here you might find a flat matching your requirement make sure you ask all the important question such as:
-whether building has society if yes than how much is the maintenance. who will bear the cost of maintenance.
- Flat is in whose name this is required to know that you are dealing with the flat owner only
- when there is payment of maintenance water charges are paid by the society only you may confirm about same if the water charges will be paid by owner or tenant has to pay.
- confirm about electricity if its single phase of three phase as three phase bill comes higher than single phase. you may confirm with the owner about the bill amount of previous month.
- Discuss regarding all your requirement and lastly ask the rent again.
- Confirm about security deposit payment, standard in goa is 3 months but owners even agrees for 2months.
- Discuss if rent payment is made start of the month or end of the month. Standard in Goa is advance payment.
Negotiating:
Make sure before you start negotiating you have built a good friendly environment. Now whatever is the rent for example Rs 10,000 is the rent. In this field whatever is the rent told by the owner there is possibility of negotiation upto Rs 500 - Rs 1000.
So you may offer something which is more less than that around Rs 8500 yes thats the rate you should start with and you wont have any regret that owner could have made more less.
Note: If the premises is really quality one with expensive fixtures kindly do not use this method and do injustice with the flat this may even spoil your repo with the owner. You may ask if the price is negotiable and mention about your budget this should suffice.
Closing the deal:
Once you have chosen all the properties decide now, take opinion of right people you need owner who is flexible and have good understanding keeping in mind all this criteria you may take a decision and close the deal either by paying some token amount of Rs 500-1000 or depending on owner request. Sometime just oral confirmation will suffice.
Note: Do not take more than a day to take decision as rental properties are known for their fast movement and you might lose a good deal and have to restart the search again.
Signing the agreement:
This is the last stage where you have to do the notary and complete the procedure. Make sure you take one passport size photo and original ID. Notary in Goa is done on Rs 500 stamp paper this will be prepared by the owner or the broker, Notary fees is Rs 200 all the charges are borne by the tenant.
All the payment security deposit and one month rent payment is done immediately after signing cash/cheque/neft as per mutual discussion and key is given to the tenant same day after cleaning.
Incase you need to make trucopy of the notary you have to pay Rs 120 additional to make true copy.
Completing police varification Compulsory:
In Goa it is the job of the tenant/broker and not the owner to do the police verification, Tenant/broker has to go to respective police department as per the area take the police verification form and handover to owner he should fill his details and sign first than tenant has to fill same and sign attach his passport size photo.
only tenant has to attach his one passport size photo and id and adress proof eg. driving licence or election card anyone. This needs to be submitted along with 3 photocopy of each, 3 of police verification form after filling and attaching photo, 3 id with address proof photocopy and 3 passport size photo additional and submit this to concern police department.
