The regulator has cautioned buyers against claims made by some promoters or agents that property prices would rise sharply soon or that available units would be sold out quickly. Such claims are often used to create pressure on buyers to make immediate bookings. However, the current market data does not indicate any shortage of inventory.

UP RERA has advised prospective buyers to verify important details such as project registration, promoter record, approved maps, project status, and possession timelines before investing. All necessary information is available on the RERA portal, which buyers can study before taking a safer decision.

Long-term Financial Decision

The regulator has emphasized that investment in real estate is a long-term financial decision and buyers should avoid being influenced by misleading advertisements, artificial scarcity, or pressure tactics. It has urged homebuyers and investors to rely on facts and available data while selecting properties and take decisions after due caution.
