How to really shortlist and evaluate properties in Chandigarh?

The sheer number of property options in Chandigarh is overwhelming for a first-timer. I'm trying to find a 2BHK in Sector 24C, but honestly, I'm lost on how to shortlist effectively. My parents focus on location and builder reputation, which is fair, but kaise pata chalega ki kaun sa option mere liye best hai? Jab site visit pe jaate hain, I'm not sure what to specifically look for beyond the aesthetics. Builder toh sab positive hi batata hai. What are the critical things to check during a visit? Like, build quality, water pressure, actual carpet area versus super area... Any advice on a practical site visit checklist or smart questions to ask would be a huge help. Should I even trust the sales team's answers?
