One of the most important points is drainage. It doesn't seem so important but can define the value and livability of a house. Do make sure that the house and the locality has a proper and well-maintained drainage system. This ensures no water logging during monsoon.
Apart from these don't forget to keep a check of all the documents that you need while buying for example registry, transfer deeds, power of attorney etc. Make sure that there are no pending bills of the house and all installments and dues are paid on time. Also do some inquiry regarding the history of house, all this is extremely important and ensures a wise investment.
