The commute question
The Radial Road links Pallikaranai and Kovilambakkam with Thoraipakkam, so a home a few kilometres inland can still keep the drive to OMR short — without OMR prices.
Check the ground
Parts of Pallikaranai are low-lying near the marshland. Ask about the plot's level, storm-water drainage and how the street fared in heavy rain before you commit.
Before you buy: a quick checklist
- Title and patta Ask for the parent documents, patta and encumbrance certificate, and have a lawyer check them.
- Approved plan Check that the building follows the sanctioned plan — number of floors, setbacks and parking.
- UDS for your flat Your undivided share of land should be written in the sale deed. More UDS means more land you own.
- Road width and water Wider roads mean easier access and better resale. Ask about borewell depth and Metro water.
- Build quality Ask what the walls are built with, what sand is used for plastering and which brands go into fittings.
