Redevelopment is a big decision, and the societies that do it well usually start early: they recognise the signs, get their papers in order and only then speak to developers. Here is a quick check your committee can run.

8 signs your building may be due
- The building is 30 years old or more.
- Repair and maintenance bills keep rising every year.
- Leakages, cracks in beams or columns, or exposed reinforcement bars.
- A recent structural audit recommends major repairs, or the BMC has classified the building as dangerous.
- There is no lift, and elderly members find the stairs difficult.
- There is not enough parking for members’ vehicles.
- Neighbouring buildings have redeveloped, so local land values have risen.
- The building uses much less of the plot’s potential than the current rules allow.
8 documents to gather first
- Conveyance deed (or deemed conveyance order) in the society’s name.
- Property card or 7/12 extract showing the plot area and ownership.
- Approved building plans and the occupation certificate.
- City survey (CTS) plan showing plot boundaries.
- Society registration certificate and bye-laws.
- List of members with flat areas as per their agreements.
- Latest structural audit report.
- Development Plan (DP) remarks for the plot, showing zoning, road width and any reservations.
What to do next
Once these are in hand, a feasibility study can tell your society what the plot can realistically offer. Then the general body can decide, with real numbers, whether to proceed. Our step-by-step guide to the redevelopment process explains what follows.
