How To

How to start a joint venture on your land

A five-step path from your first call to registered units in your name. Zero investment from you — we handle approvals, construction, and sales.

  1. 1

    Share your land details

    Submit your plot address, survey number, and approximate size. We do a free desk review of title, zoning, and FSI eligibility within 24 hours.

  2. 2

    Book a free site visit

    Our engineering team visits your plot, verifies boundaries, checks CMDA/DTCP zone, and prepares a feasibility report with recommended project type.

  3. 3

    Review the JV proposal

    Receive a transparent proposal — built-up area, unit mix, cost estimate, owner share (typically 40–45%), timeline, and escrow terms — within 48 hours of the site visit.

  4. 4

    Sign the RERA-registered JV agreement

    Register the joint venture agreement at the sub-registrar office. Development rights transfer to the builder; land title stays in your name until unit-wise registration.

  5. 5

    Track construction & receive units

    Follow milestone-linked construction on a 24×7 dashboard. On completion (typically 24–30 months), your share of units is registered in your name — ready to hold, rent, or sell.

Frequently asked

Who owns the land during construction?+

You do. The JV agreement grants development rights only. Land title stays with you until unit-wise registration.

What if the builder delays?+

Every RERA-registered JV includes penalty clauses and escrow-linked milestones. Payments release only on verified progress.

Do I have to pay any money upfront?+

No. All costs — approvals, construction, marketing — are borne by the builder.

Can I sell my share later?+

Yes. Once units are registered in your name, they're freely transferable.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are the exact steps of a JV with Property Builder?

Five steps: (1) submit land details, (2) free site visit and title check within 7 days, (3) written valuation and JV proposal within 48 hours, (4) registered JV agreement and RERA filing, (5) construction, monthly updates and handover.

What documents are needed to start a JV?

Patta, chitta, EC (13 and 30 year), parent documents, approved building plan (if any), and identity proof of all title-holders. We handle everything else.

Who pays for RERA registration and approvals?

The builder pays 100% of RERA registration, CMDA/DTCP approvals, structural drawings, and marketing. The landowner pays nothing.

Can I sell my share of flats separately?

Yes. After the division of the built-up area, your share is registered in your name and you can sell, rent or hold independently. Property Builder can also market them for you.

What happens if the builder delays the project?

Every JV agreement includes a penalty clause — typically ₹5–10 per sq ft per month of delay, plus rent compensation. RERA also enforces delay refunds.
