How Self-Sustainable City Comes to Life
A clear, transparent journey—from first interest to a living community
This is not a typical real-estate workflow.
It is a participatory, step-by-step process designed to protect people, land, and long-term community values—while keeping everything open, fair, and understandable.
Below is how the journey unfolds.
1. Expressing Interest (Registration)
The journey begins when individuals or families register their interest through our website.
This is not a sales commitment—it simply helps us understand who wants to participate, their broad expectations, and their readiness to be part of a self-sustainable community.
2. Budget Alignment & Collective Direction
Once a meaningful group of participants is formed, we begin open discussions around budget comfort, affordability, and expectations.
Instead of forcing people into pre-chosen locations, we collectively decide:
- What price range feels realistic
- Which regions make sense
- Where land search efforts should focus
This ensures the project grows with people, not over them.
3. Land Search & Groundwork
After budgets and preferred regions are aligned, land search begins.
Participants jointly cover actual, transparent expenses involved in sourcing land—such as travel and stay—while a representative from our team:
- Engages with landowners
- Coordinates with local authorities
- Shortlists suitable agricultural land
- Shares real, on-ground updates with the group
There are no hidden commissions or speculative markups.
4. Safeguarding the Community Before Purchase
Before any land is finalized, binding understandings are created with landowners to protect the long-term integrity of the community.
These agreements ensure that:
- Remaining adjacent land cannot later be sold randomly to outside parties
- Any future sale requires a formal “no objection” from the Self-Sustainable City community or society
This prevents fragmented development and preserves the collective vision.
5. Final Location Decision (By the Community)
Multiple land options may be presented.
The final choice is made collectively by participants—based on location, soil quality, access, long-term potential, and legal clarity.
Only after consensus does the purchase process begin.
6. Legal Due Diligence & Buyer Protection (Non-Negotiable)
This is one of the most important stages.
Participants pay a reasonable, refundable caution deposit, after which a reputed, independent law firm is appointed to conduct full legal verification.
This includes:
- Title chain verification
- Adangal / Pahani checks
- Revenue and pattadar records
- Encumbrance certificates
- Family inheritance verification where applicable
- Local, field-level verification through village inquiries
In many cases, the seller’s identity and ownership are confirmed not just on paper—but on the ground, through community validation.
7. Legal Accountability Clause (Rare but Powerful)
To protect buyers further, the Sale Deed may include a clear legal declaration from the seller stating that they are the rightful, undisputed owner.
If a future ownership claim is proven valid in court:
- The seller (or legal heirs) must refund the full amount
- Bear all legal and court costs
- Pay 25% annual compounded interest from the date of sale until refund
This clause exists to discourage fraud and give buyers real legal recourse—not false comfort.
Only after all protections are in place does the law firm issue a written clearance certificate.
8. Subdivision & Direct Registration
Once cleared:
- The land is subdivided based on each participant’s chosen plot size
- Each parcel receives its own official sub-survey number
- Land is registered directly in the buyer’s name
Payments go directly to the landowner.
Legal fees are paid directly to the legal professionals.
The caution deposit is fully refunded after successful registration.
9. Farm Development (Before the House)
Land comes first—then life.
Using natural farming and permaculture principles, we begin:
- Earthworks
- Soil preparation
- Tree and sapling plantation
All materials are sourced locally.
Participants cover only their actual development costs—nothing inflated.
10. Home Construction (Stage-Wise & Pressure-Free)
Once the land is alive, homes begin to rise.
Construction happens in clear stages:
- Foundation
- Plinth
- Slab
- Brickwork
- Plastering
- Electrical & plumbing
- Interiors and finishing
Payments are released only as work progresses.
No forced timelines. No bank pressure. No opaque contracts.
11. Developer’s Share (Fully Transparent)
Instead of hiding margins inside materials or contracts, we openly state our Developer’s Share.
It is a percentage applied to the total actual spend—land, legal, farm development, construction, and coordination.
- The percentage is discussed openly
- Mutually agreed
- Sometimes reduced for larger developments
All payments—without exception—are made directly by participants to sellers, vendors, workers, and professionals.
Our role is coordination, integrity, and continuity—not financial control.
12. Why This Model Is Different
This is not charity.
And it is not profit-obsessed development.
We are mission-driven, value-aligned, and transparent by design.
- No hidden margins
- No forced loans
- No pressure tactics
- No moral ambiguity
Very few real-estate models work this way—openly, slowly, and consciously.
13. Community Ownership & Society Formation
Once homes are completed, participants may form a registered society to:
- Manage shared spaces
- Elect representatives
- Define long-term governance
At this stage, the firm formally hands over control and steps back.
14. Long-Term Growth & Shared Infrastructure
As more people join over time:
- Adjacent land may be acquired responsibly
- Infrastructure evolves organically
Future developments may include:
- Schools and healthcare
- Markets and workspaces
- Parks, wellness centers, gyms, and cultural spaces
- Leisure and rejuvenation amenities
Growth happens with consent, not disruption.
A Final Note
This is not just a process.
It is a way of building without exploitation, ownership without anxiety, and community without illusion.
A city that grows slowly—but correctly.
If this resonates, you’re already part of the journey.
