About Property Engineer: Independent Pune Buyer Advisory
Most Indian home buyers make the biggest purchase of their life with the least reliable information.
Talk to enough buyers a year after possession and a pattern appears: regret. A delay nobody warned them about. A title issue that surfaced at registration. A tower that turned out to face a wall. A price that looked fair only because every source they read was paid by the seller.
That is not a knowledge problem — the information exists. RERA filings are public. Court records are public. Site conditions are visible to anyone who visits on a weekday afternoon. The problem is that almost nobody in the transaction is paid to tell the buyer the truth.
Property Engineer exists to be the one party in your purchase who will say the uncomfortable thing. Our reports and advisory are free to every buyer, on every project — and when a project is wrong for you, we will say so.
We also do not disappear at booking. A dedicated CRM executive stays with you through loan coordination, the payment schedule, construction updates, registration and possession formalities — holding every document and deadline in one place until the keys are actually in your hand.
Methodology
How we analyse a project
Each project is scored on five dimensions. Where a fact cannot be verified, we mark it down rather than assume the best case — the score should reflect what is proven, not what is claimed.
Legal & RERA
Registration validity, promoter details, title chain, statutory approvals, and the sanctioned Development Plan — survey numbers, zoning and road reservations included.
Builder track record
A 15-year search across civil and criminal matters, delivery history against committed dates, financial stability and past disputes.
Livability
Density, tower spacing, ventilation, lift ratios, usable open space and the quality of daily life inside the gate.
Connectivity
Real travel times to employment hubs, schools and daily needs, plus the infrastructure and government works actually under way nearby.
Value
Quoted price against registered sale agreements from the last six months in the same project, with rental yield and resale potential assessed.

Company profile
Property Engineer — Homes, verified.
Property Engineer is a buyer-first property advisory based in Tathawade, Pimpri-Chinchwad, working across Pune and the PCMC belt. We analyse residential projects on the things that decide whether a purchase holds up: legal and RERA standing, the builder's delivery record, livability inside the gate, real connectivity, and price against what comparable homes actually registered for.
The people behind it have worked in this market since 2015. The firm was built on a single observation: almost nobody in an Indian property transaction is paid to tell the buyer the truth. Developers market, brokers close, portals sell placement — and the buyer, making the largest purchase of their life, is left with the least reliable information in the room.
So our analysis is free to every buyer on every project, our drawbacks are published as prominently as our strengths, and any project we have a commercial relationship with carries a visible tag on its own page.

Mission
To be the one party in a property transaction whose incentive is the buyer's outcome — putting the legal, structural and financial facts of a project in front of them in plain language, before the money moves.
Vision
A Pune market where a buyer can check a project the way they would check a company: on public record, against evidence, without paying for the privilege — and where saying a project is wrong for someone is a normal part of the job.
What we hold to
Independence
We take no advertising and no paid placement. Where we hold a commercial relationship with a project, that project carries a visible partner tag, and the analysis on it is written exactly as it would be otherwise — litigation and all.
Evidence over opinion
Every RERA number links to the official record. Disclosed litigation appears on the project page, not in fine print. Claims about area growth are tied to a source the reader can check for themselves.
The uncomfortable thing, said early
Drawbacks are published as prominently as strengths, and when a project is wrong for a buyer we say so — before a booking form is in front of them, not after.
Presence to possession
A dedicated executive stays with the buyer through loan coordination, the payment schedule, construction updates, registration and possession — holding every document and deadline in one place until the keys are in hand.
Restraint with data
Contact details are never sold, and are shared with a developer only when the buyer asks us to.
What we do
Buyer advisory
Core practiceIndependent analysis of a shortlist, free to the buyer on any project in our coverage — the core of what we do.
- Legal and RERA review: registration validity, promoter details, title chain, statutory approvals and the sanctioned Development Plan
- Builder track record across fifteen years of civil and criminal matters, delivery against committed dates and financial stability
- Livability and connectivity assessed on site, on a working day, rather than from a brochure
- Price checked against registered sale agreements from the last six months in the same project
- Accompanied site visits, shortlist comparison and negotiation support
Investment advisory
The same analysis, read for return rather than for living in — for buyers holding property as an asset.
- Rental yield and resale potential assessed against comparable stock in the micro-market
- Entry and exit timing relative to infrastructure and government works actually under way
- Risk framed in writing: litigation exposure, delivery risk and liquidity of the configuration
- Portfolio-level view for buyers holding more than one unit
Sales & leasing
Representation for owners selling or letting a property in Pune and the PCMC belt.
- Pricing set from registered transactions rather than from asking prices
- Listing, qualified buyer and tenant introductions, and viewings managed end to end
- Documentation, agreement drafting and registration coordinated to completion
Property management
Ongoing care of a property after possession, for owners who are not local to it.
- Tenant sourcing, agreements, renewals and rent follow-up
- Maintenance coordination, society dues and statutory compliance
- Periodic condition reporting, and one place holding every document for the asset
The portfolio
Every project we cover is published in full — the analysis, the RERA record, the disclosed litigation and the drawbacks — rather than summarised into a rating. Completed purchases are photographed and published with the buyer’s consent.
