Check who owns, funds and maintains estate roads and utilities after the developer steps back.
A finished villa does not prove the estate is ready for owners
Identify the registered land-allocation structure, developer duties, legal entity status and timetable for transferring roads, drainage, lighting, security and other common infrastructure. Request approvals, title evidence, maintenance accounts, inspection records, owner notices and meeting documents.
Stress-test unpaid developer plots, defects, reserves, voting control and enforcement of fees. Confirm access and utility continuity if the handover is delayed or disputed. Review the estate governance guide, roads and infrastructure checklist and buyer service.
