Do you have a big family? Are your parents staying with you? Or do you just want more space for everyone? A 3 BHK home is the perfect answer. In 2026, L&T Malad East is offering beautiful 3 BHK apartments that are made for families like yours. This guide will take you step-by-step through the entire buying process. We have kept the language so simple that even a school student can understand it easily!
Let's begin your journey to owning a spacious 3 BHK home at L&T Ahana.
Step 1: Plan Your Budget and Check Home Loan
A 3 BHK is bigger than a 2 BHK, so it will cost more. But don't worry! You can easily get a home loan. First, check how much EMI you can pay every month. Banks usually give loans up to 80-90% of the property value. You need to arrange the rest as a down payment. Remember, you also have to pay extra money for registration, stamp duty, GST, and maintenance. Use an online EMI calculator to see your monthly payment. Keep your EMI below 40% of your monthly income for a comfortable life.
Step 2: Understand the 3 BHK Layout and Design
A 3 BHK at L&T Malad gives you three separate bedrooms. One is a large master bedroom with an attached bathroom. The other two rooms are perfect for your children or parents. If you have guests, you can also use one room as a guest room or a study room.
Check these things in the layout:
- Master Bedroom – It should be big enough for a king-size bed and wardrobe.
- Living Room – A 3 BHK has a larger living room so the whole family can sit together.
- Kitchen – A modern kitchen with good ventilation is important for cooking.
- Balcony – At least one balcony gives you fresh air and a nice view.
- Vastu Compliance – L&T homes are vastu-friendly which brings happiness and peace.
Step 3: Check RERA Number and Legal Approvals
This is the most important step. Always buy a home that has a RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Authority) number. RERA protects your money and makes sure the builder delivers the project on time. L&T is India's most trusted builder. Their project is fully approved by the government. You can check the RERA number on the Maharashtra RERA website. All municipal approvals like water, electricity, and building plans are also complete for this project.
Step 4: Choose the Right Payment Plan
Builders offer different payment options. Here are the most common ones:
- Construction-Linked Plan: You pay a small amount when you book. Then you pay more as the construction goes up floor by floor. This plan is very popular because you don't have to pay everything at once.
- Down Payment Plan: You pay a large amount (like 80-90%) at the time of booking. In return, the builder gives you a big discount.
- Flexi Plan: Some special plans are available. Talk to the sales team to see what suits your budget best.
Step 5: Visit the Site and Check the Quality
Never buy a home just by looking at pictures on the internet. You must visit the actual site and see the flat with your own eyes. L&T Malad is ready or almost ready, so you can see the real 3 BHK apartment.
When you visit, check these things:
- Flooring and Tiles – Are they smooth and from a good brand?
- Paint and Walls – Check if the paint is even and there are no cracks.
- Plumbing and Fittings – Turn on the taps and check the switches. Are they working properly?
- Common Areas – Look at the lobby, lifts, and gardens. Are they clean and well-maintained?
- View from the Balcony – See what you can see from your windows. A good view makes you happy.
L&T is known for high-quality construction, so you will find everything top-notch.
Step 6: Possession and Handover Process
In 2026, L&T Ahana is ready for possession. This means you can get your keys very soon after you complete the payment.
The handover process is simple:
- You pay the final amount to the builder.
- The builder gives you a possession letter.
- You do a final inspection of your flat. Check every room, every tap, and every switch carefully.
- If you find any small problem (like a loose handle), tell the builder immediately. They will fix it for free.
- You get the keys and you can move in with your family!
