A low-rise building on an individual plot, typically three or four storeys, where each floor is a separate home sold to a different buyer. Common in Delhi, Gurugram and the NCR.
How it works and what to check
A builder floor gives more privacy than a large society at a lower price than a house, but with fewer amenities and usually no formal maintenance body. Each floor owner gets a share of the land and a deed for their floor.
Check the sanctioned plan for the number of floors and stilt parking, the share of land and roof rights in the deed, and whether the floor-wise sale is permitted by local rules.
Common questions
Is a builder floor freehold?
In many private colonies, yes. In authority-allotted sectors the land may be leasehold.
Who owns the roof in a builder floor?
Whoever the deeds say. The top floor often has roof rights; check before you buy.
