Who rents in Wakad
Wakad is popular with people working in Hinjewadi who want a shorter commute and easy highway access, and with young families in the newer towers. Owners here are often not local - many bought as an investment and live elsewhere in India or abroad.
When the owner doesn't live in Pune
Every party has to complete biometric verification for registration. If the owner is in another city, plan the date around their visit. If they can't travel, an owner can authorise someone through a properly executed power of attorney - the attorney holder then signs and completes biometrics instead. The power of attorney must meet registration requirements, so share it with us before booking.
Wakad is in Pimpri-Chinchwad, not Pune city
Wakad is inside PCMC limits, so the urban registration fee applies. It also means tenant information goes to the Pimpri-Chinchwad police, not Pune City Police - a common mix-up for people new to the area.

- Share the basics on WhatsApp or the enquiry form - property address, rent, deposit and period (11 months to 5 years).
- We draft the agreement and send an itemised quote for you to check.
- Government fees are paid online - stamp duty, registration fee and document handling charges go to the government, not to us.
