In a groundbreaking move to enhance transparency in the real estate sector, the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has mandated the use of QR codes for all registered projects. This directive, released on May 29, 2023, requires property developers to prominently display QR codes alongside their RERA registration numbers in all advertisements, including social media campaigns, from August 1, 2023.
The directive is applicable to all the real estate developers including those dealing with the development of luxury villas in Khandala or any other construction projects.
QR codes have become an integral part of our digital lives, and now they are set to revolutionize the real estate industry in Maharashtra. These codes serve as an interactive gateway to essential project information, providing potential buyers with a seamless experience when seeking details about a property. With a simple scan using a smartphone or tablet, homebuyers can access a treasure trove of data about the project.
By incorporating QR codes on all promotional materials, including electronic and digital media, newspapers, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Twitter every developer can streamline the process of sharing crucial project details.When QR codes are used, technology is used to make things easier, clearer and easier to understand when you want to find out more about a real estate project.
With QR codes, homebuyers gain immediate access to a wealth of information that can influence their purchase decisions. They can ascertain if the project has received necessary approvals, its commencement and completion dates, project renewal status, any modifications made to approved plans, and even check for any complaints filed against the builder or the project. This newfound transparency empowers buyers of villas for sale in Lonavala to make well-informed choices.
MahaRERA’s decision to mandate QR codes for all registered projects marks a significant step towards a more transparent and customer-centric real estate industry. From now onwards, as per the ruling, Goodbrick Realty will incorporate a QR Code and RERA Registration Number for all of our projects.
