NRI GUIDE
A number of people tend to move out of the country for educational or vocational purposes for a long time. These NRI’s (Non-Resident Indians) do wish to own homes in their motherland for many reasons. At Bharath Builders, we recognize these needs and work hard to make sure that the client is satisfied with every step they take. Our NRI services ensure that the procedures in regard to acquiring, selling or maintaining the property are smooth.
