Delhi’s winter air changes three practical things for a homeowner: when you are allowed to renovate, what your house can actually do about the air, and which features of a floor are worth paying for. The restrictions are not weather – they are a published schedule, and you can plan around them.

Three things decide whether a South Delhi floor is comfortable to live in, and none of them appear in the listing: where the water actually comes from, what the backup really runs, and whether the lift has a valid working licence. Here is how to check each one, and the law behind it.

On most South Delhi builder floors there is no RERA registration and no five-year builder warranty, because the plot is under 500 sq m and the plan was signed off by the builder’s own architect. The snag list you make before you release the final payment is the only warranty you get.

Gate timings, parking, maintenance demands, tenant NOCs, objections to your renovation: in South Delhi’s plotted colonies the RWA is a registered society, not a statutory housing authority, and the difference decides what it can actually enforce.
