This Blog Is Your Pre-Visit Checklist
Before you visit any property in Lucknow, it helps to do some preparation. Understanding what you are looking at, what questions to ask, and what numbers to verify saves time at the site and helps you make a more confident decision. This blog prepares you for a visit to Ashoka Developer’s 750 sq. ft. 2 BHK project at Faizullaganj — or any comparable affordable property in Lucknow.
Understanding the 750 Sq. Ft. Row House Format
A row house in India is an independent unit that forms part of a planned row of identical or similar homes in a colony. It shares side walls with adjacent units but has its own front entrance, roof, and parking space. Row houses in a gated colony typically share common amenities like internal roads, street lighting, a compound wall, and green areas.
The 750 sq. ft. size refers to the built-up area — the total floor space inside the house including all rooms, kitchen, bathrooms, and corridors. This is different from the carpet area, which is the actual usable floor space inside the walls (typically 15 to 20 percent less than built-up area). So a 750 sq. ft. built-up area home has approximately 600 to 630 sq. ft. of carpet area.
630 sq. ft. of actual usable space is comfortable for two bedrooms, a living area, kitchen, and bathrooms for a family of three to four members with smart furniture choices.
The Price Breakdown — What Rs. 36 Lakh Gets You
Property price: under Rs. 36 lakh for the row house.
Add stamp duty: approximately Rs. 2.52 lakh for male buyers (7 percent), Rs. 2.16 lakh for female buyers (6 percent).
Add registration charges: approximately Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 30,000.
Add home loan processing fee: approximately 0.5 to 1 percent of loan amount.
Total all-in cost: approximately Rs. 39 to 40 lakh for the property including registration and legal costs. Budget separately for interior setup, furniture, and any modifications.
Home Loan Eligibility Check
For a Rs. 27 lakh loan (75 percent of Rs. 36 lakh property value):
- Required monthly income: approximately Rs. 27,000 to Rs. 35,000 per month for a single applicant
- With a joint application (spouse or parent), the combined income qualifies for a larger loan
- EMI at 8.5 percent for 20 years: approximately Rs. 23,400 per month
- Banks typically require the EMI to be no more than 40 to 50 percent of net monthly income
If your income is below the single applicant threshold, consider a joint home loan application. This increases eligibility significantly and is a common and accepted practice in India.
What to Check at the Faizullaganj Site Visit
Construction Quality
- Check plastering on walls — smooth, no cracks or bulges
- Check tile flooring — vitrified tiles should be properly laid, no lippage or hollow sound when tapped
- Check kitchen fittings — cabinet doors should open and close smoothly, countertop should be even
- Check bathroom fittings — flush mechanism, taps, and shower fittings should be from recognisable brands
- Check windows and doors — should open and close properly, frames should be well fitted without gaps
Colony Infrastructure
- Internal roads should be properly laid, not just sand or loose gravel
- Street lights should be installed and functional
- Compound wall should be complete, not just partially built
- Green area should be actual landscaping, not just a patch of dirt
- Water supply connection should be visible and operational
Legal and Documentation
- Ask for the RERA registration number and verify on UP RERA website
- Ask for the land title document and check the seller is the registered owner
- Ask for the approved building plan from the local municipal authority
- Verify there are no pending dues or legal disputes on the property
- Get a draft sale agreement and review before paying any token amount
The Faizullaganj Location — What to Observe During the Visit
When you visit the site at Ashok Vihar Colony near Jaglal Petrol Pump, take 30 minutes to walk around the surrounding area. Check the condition of the main road leading to the colony. Look for the presence of shops, small markets, and daily use services within walking distance. Note how far the nearest school and clinic are. Check if public transport is available on the main road nearby.
This ground-level observation tells you much more about the practical livability of the location than any description can.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between built-up area and carpet area?
A: Built-up area includes all floor space inside the house including walls, balconies, and corridors. Carpet area is the actual usable space where you can place furniture and walk — typically 80 to 85 percent of built-up area. A 750 sq. ft. built-up house has approximately 600 to 630 sq. ft. of carpet area.
Q: Should I hire a property lawyer before buying?
A: For any property purchase, a basic legal review is advisable. A property lawyer can check the title documents, verify RERA registration, review the sale agreement, and flag any issues before you commit. Legal fees for this are typically Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000 — a small cost relative to the size of the purchase.
Q: What should I look for in the sale agreement before signing?
A: Key things to check: the committed possession date, the penalty for delay, what is included in the price (all stated amenities should be listed), the payment schedule, the lock-in terms if any, and the dispute resolution mechanism. Never sign an agreement without reading it fully or having it reviewed.
Q: How do I check UP RERA registration for Ashoka Developer’s project?
A: Go to the UP RERA website (www.up-rera.in), search for the project by developer name or project name, and verify the registration number provided by the developer. Check that the project details, promoter name, and completion date match what the developer has told you.
