The market for luxury houses in Sector 46, Faridabad, is a market of family homes changing hands. Sector 46 is a plotted HSVP sector on the green Aravalli side of the city, toward Surajkund, and much of its housing was built by original allottees. Today many of those kothis are being sold by the next generation, rebuilt into modern floors, or bought by families who want a large house on a quiet street.
That gives buyers a real choice: an original kothi with a garden and the whole plot, a newly built floor with a lift and stilt parking, or an older house to take down and rebuild. Each comes with its own paperwork and its own risks. This page focuses on what makes buying a house here different: inherited titles, changing floor rules, and the work of telling a well-built home from a well-dressed one.
How houses change hands in this sector
In a mature plotted sector, a typical sale is not one owner selling to you. It is often several siblings selling a parent’s home, sometimes with one living abroad. Or it is an owner who has given the plot to a builder under a collaboration deal and is selling floors together with that builder.
Both routes are common and both can be completely safe. They simply need more documents than a fresh purchase. The first job is to understand who exactly is selling, and on what legal basis.
When a seller lives abroad
It is common for at least one heir to be based overseas. That seller will usually act through a power of attorney executed abroad, attested at an Indian mission and then adjudicated or stamped in Haryana as the rules require. Check that the power of attorney specifically covers the sale of this property, that it has not been revoked and that the holder’s identity matches. Payments to non-resident sellers also carry tax deduction duties for the buyer, so speak to a chartered accountant before you transfer any money.
Signs of a clean sale:
- every legal heir is either signing or has properly relinquished their share;
- the HSVP records reflect the current ownership;
- the builder, if any, can show a registered or properly executed agreement with the owner;
- dues and property tax are paid up to date.
Inherited titles: the documents that matter
When a house has passed down a generation, the paper trail must show how. Depending on the family’s situation, you may need some of the following:
- Death certificate of the original owner.
- A registered will, with probate if the situation requires it.
- A succession certificate or a registered family settlement.
- Relinquishment deeds from heirs who are giving up their share.
- HSVP transfer records showing the change in ownership.
- The original allotment letter and conveyance deed.
- A no-dues position from HSVP and the local body.
Missing one signature can stall a sale for months, or worse. A local property lawyer should confirm the set is complete before you pay anything beyond a refundable token, and the terms of that token should be written down.
What the housing stock looks like
| Type | Typical age | Strengths | Common issues | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original kothi | Older | Whole plot, large rooms, garden | Ageing services, unsanctioned additions | Joint families, rebuild buyers |
| Extended kothi | Mixed | More floors, more space | Plan deviations, structural load | Large families after careful checks |
| New builder floor | Recent | Lift, parking, modern finish | Shared rights, uneven quality | Nuclear families, retirees |
| Plot or teardown | Any | Blank slate | Approvals, construction time | Buyers with a builder and patience |
Most premium supply is either a well-kept original kothi or a new floor in a rebuilt building.
If you buy an old house to rebuild, keep the project and the purchase separate in your mind. First make sure the land title is clean. Then let an architect confirm what the current bye-laws permit on that plot size before you finalise the price, because the value of a teardown lies entirely in what you can legally build on it.
Floor rules and what they do to value
Haryana’s policy on how many floors can be built on residential plots, and on stilt parking, has been revised more than once in recent years, and approvals have at times been held back while rules were reviewed. That has a direct effect on what a plot is worth to a builder and what a new floor is worth to you.
Practical points to keep in mind:
- Never pay for a floor that is not shown on the sanctioned plan.
- If a seller talks about future floors, ask an architect for the current rules on that plot.
- In a new building, confirm that the occupation certificate covers every floor, including yours.
- Check the parking allocation on paper, especially in buildings with several owners.
A house that relies on unsanctioned floors may face problems at resale or with banks. Price that risk in, or walk away.
Telling quality from finish
New floors in Faridabad’s plotted sectors can look similar on a first visit. Imported-looking tiles and false ceilings say little about the structure behind them.
Look deeper:
- Ask who designed the structure and whether it was certified.
- Look for seepage, especially on the top floor and around bathrooms.
- Test water pressure on upper floors and check the size of the tanks.
- Check the lift’s make and who maintains it.
- Inspect the electrical panel and the earthing.
For an original kothi, bring someone who knows buildings. Many older houses are well built but need modern wiring and plumbing. Factor that work into your offer, or consider the house as a rebuild.
Life on the Aravalli side of Faridabad
Sector 46 sits toward the Aravallis, with Surajkund and the road over the hills to Gurugram nearby. Many buyers choose it for that combination: a green, quiet home within reach of Gurugram and south Delhi. Central Faridabad, Mathura Road and the Violet Line are a drive east.
The sector is residential at heart. Markets and schools serve it from within and from neighbouring sectors, and the city’s larger hospitals are a short drive away. Before buying, time your real commute and the school run. Ask neighbours about water supply and power cuts in summer.

Renting out part of the house
Some owners live on one floor and let another. Demand comes from families attracted by the green setting and Gurugram access. Keep tenancy agreements in writing and complete police verification of tenants, as required in Haryana. Rent can help with upkeep, but buy for your own use first. If you plan to let a floor, separate electricity meters and a clear arrangement for water and parking will save arguments later, so check whether the building already has them.

Frequently asked questions
Why do so many Sector 46 houses come from second-generation owners?
Like other mature HSVP sectors, many houses here were built by original allottees whose children now live elsewhere. When they sell, the house passes through inheritance documents as well as the sale itself. That is perfectly normal, but it means you must check that every legal heir has signed off before you pay.
What inheritance documents should I ask for?
Depending on how the property passed down, expect a registered will with probate where needed, a succession certificate or family settlement, relinquishment deeds from heirs who are not selling, and death certificates linking the chain. HSVP records should show the transfer. A property lawyer should confirm the set is complete for your case.
Can more floors be built on a Sector 46 plot?
Haryana's rules on the number of floors and stilt parking for plotted homes have changed in recent years, and approvals have at times been paused or conditioned. Ask an architect for the current position on your specific plot before you price in any extra floors, and never pay for floors that are not sanctioned.
Is a new builder floor or an old kothi better value here?
It depends on how you value time and control. A new floor offers modern systems straight away but shared ownership. An old kothi gives the whole plot and the option to rebuild, but often needs significant work. Compare total cost, including repairs or rebuild, not just the asking price.
How do I judge construction quality in a new floor?
Ask who designed the structure and whether a structural engineer certified it. Check for seepage marks, uneven floors and hairline cracks, test water pressure on the top floor and look at the lift and its maintenance arrangement. Visit an older building by the same builder to see how their work has aged.
