Every home on THIKANA is visited by a real person before it goes live. Photos you can trust, prices per sq.ft you can verify, and owners you can call directly — across Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Gurugram, Hyderabad and Chennai.
City, budget, BHK, furnishing — change anything and the results update instantly. No page reloads, no "call for price", no stale listings from 2023.
Slide the four things that actually decide your monthly outgo. We show the interest you will pay over the full tenure — the number most portals hide below the fold.
Illustrative figures only. Actual EMI depends on your credit profile, processing fees, insurance and the lender's final sanction. Not a loan offer.
Water supply, school catchment, metro timelines, which tower faces the highway — the details that decide whether you are happy in year three.
THIKANA began in a 2-BHK in Powai in 2019 with one rule: nothing goes live until somebody from our team has stood inside it. Six years later that rule has not moved.
Sale deed or registered lease, latest property tax receipt and society NOC are matched against the owner's ID before we accept the listing.
Median 6 hoursA THIKANA field associate visits the flat, shoots the photos you see on the card, and notes carpet area, floor, lift count and parking with a tape and a checklist.
Photos are ours, never the broker'sConnectivity, schools, green cover, water reliability and night-safety are scored on a 100-point rubric — the same rubric for a Bandra tower and a Wakad walk-up.
Rubric published in fullEvery Monday we call the owner. If the flat is sold, rented or the price moved, the card changes or comes down the same day. Dead listings are our biggest sin.
Auto-expiry after 45 daysPapers checked, flat physically visited, photos shot by us within the last 45 days. This is our strictest badge.
More than 40 enquiries in seven days. Not a sales gimmick — it is the raw enquiry count from our own dashboard.
No broker in the chain. You speak to the person whose name is on the deed, and there is no brokerage to pay.
Project carries a state RERA registration number, printed on the detail page so you can look it up yourself.
Wide lens, no HDR trickery, no removing the neighbour's water tank. If a room is small, the photo shows a small room.
List once, and our field team handles the photos, the measurement, the RERA lookup and the first round of tenant screening. You only meet buyers who are serious.
Property fraud in India rarely looks like fraud. It looks like a good deal, a busy owner and a hurry. Read these before you transfer a rupee — even if you never use THIKANA.
THIKANA will never ask you to pay a token, deposit or “registration fee” to us. Money moves only between you and the verified owner, at the registrar or through a bank transfer against a receipt.
Ask for the sale deed and an Aadhaar or passport. If a “cousin” is handling it, ask for a registered power of attorney.
Photos, video calls and drone shots are not a substitute. Fraudulent listings collapse the moment a visit is scheduled.
It takes ninety seconds. Under-construction projects without a live RERA registration are a hard stop, not a negotiation.
No UPI to a “manager”, no cash for a “society charge”. Every rupee should have a bank trail and a signed receipt.
Unpaid dues transfer to you. This one check has saved our buyers an average of ₹74,000 per deal — illustrative internal figure.
Thirteen years of EC will show any mortgage or lien sitting quietly on the property. Your lawyer will ask for it anyway.
An unregistered agreement is weak evidence in a dispute. E-registration in Maharashtra and Karnataka takes a day.
I had shortlisted eleven flats in Kharadi on two other portals. Nine were already rented and one did not exist. On THIKANA I saw four, all four were real, and I signed the third one in nine days.
The locality score told me the water tanker frequency in that pocket of Gachibowli. No broker was ever going to volunteer that. We changed our shortlist because of one bar on a chart.
As an owner I was dreading the calls. THIKANA screened forty-one enquiries and sent me six. I showed the flat four times and it was done. The photo shoot alone was worth the listing.
Buyers and tenants never pay THIKANA a rupee. These plans are for owners who want the listing handled end to end.
Post it yourself, we verify the papers and keep it honest.
No card needed. Ever.
Our field team shoots, measures and screens. You just show up.
Refunded in full if we cannot verify your papers.
Deal desk: negotiation, paperwork, registration, handover.
Payable only on a closed deal.
Prices shown are illustrative for this demo. Government charges — stamp duty, registration and GST where applicable — are payable separately at actuals.
Walk in with your shortlist. We will pull the papers, the price history and the locality file for every flat on it — free, whether or not you use us.
