karnataka-government-slashed-the-property-guidance-value

The Karnataka state government has lowered the property guidance value of state-owned properties by 10 percent over the next three months, allowing people to register as quickly as possible. Revenue Minister R Ashoka called it a New Year’s gift to the public. For the purchase of real estate, whether it is a piece of land, building or an apartment, the government is lowering the guidance value by 10 percent, which will only apply nationwide for three months.

Guidance value, the minimum sale price of real estate set by the state depending on the location and type of building.

The Minister said, this is kind of an offer for those who are in a hurry to get a general power of attorney (GPA) and real estate agreements. It is also for those who plan to register real estate valid from January 1 to March 31.

After the minister asked the public to seize the opportunity to register their property, the minister said it was a long-standing demand. The announcement came after several rounds of discussions between the finance and revenue departments, IGR (inspector-general of registration) and Prime Minister for the last month.

“All types of property registrations will be made throughout the state, whether it is dry or irrigated land, subdivisions or plots of land. It applies to everyone, adding that it may have some impact on state revenue, but it will also be for the benefit of ordinary people.

Some projects removed and some extended-

In November, the developers were asked to provide the necessary documents to request an extension and continue work on projects.

Representatives from the welfare association noted that it was good that the authorities marked the projects as delayed. This will help apartment buyers try to implement the project through promoters.

Difference between REITs and Direct Real Estate Investments?

Posted on December 22, 2021 by zeeshan

What are REITs?

REITs buy and develop real estate primarily for the purpose of using it in their investment portfolio. REITs or Real Estate Investment Trusts are companies that own and operate properties for the purpose of generating income. Unlike other real estate companies, REIT does not build real estate for resale. These are the companies that manage portfolios of high end properties and mortgages. People can participate in large real estate revenues through REITs.

What is Direct Real Estate Investment?

Direct investment in real estate means buying a particular property at a stake or the acquisition of property from a particular person. This implies a significant share in an asset, whether it is a shopping mall, an office building or an apartment. This type of business allows investors to generate income by rental investment. It even allows you to monetize the valuation of the assets you own. As the price increases over time, you get a significant return on assets.

Key difference between REITs and Direct Real Estate Investment!

Direct Real Estate Investment offers more tax incentives than REITs and also investors have more decision-making power.

– In case of REITs, investors invest their money in a diversified portfolio of commercial real estate assets. But in case of direct real estate investment for commercial offices, investors invest in a single office property only.

– Individual investors can take advantage of real estate through a REIT without the need to own or manage real estate.

– Compared to Direct Real Estate Investment, REITs are easier to buy and sell because many of them are publicly traded on exchanges.

Difference between REITs and Direct real estate in terms of returns!

There is a major difference between the returns of both investments:

– In the case of REITs the ROI will be clearly structured, realistic and risk-free. They are ideal for investors who want a stable income with minimal risk.

– During the time of inflation, property values tend to rise as property prices and rents rise, resulting in higher returns for REIT investors. Realistic ROI from REITs can be expected in the range of 7-8% per annum after adjusting fund management fees.

– REITs must distribute at least 90% of the taxable profits to shareholders, and dividends of 5% or more are common.

How do REIT investors generate income?

Like any other business REIT requires capital. The investors of REITs make money by renting, leasing or selling the assets they buy. Shareholders elect a board of directors, which is responsible for selecting investments and recruiting a team to oversee them on a daily basis. FFO, which stands for funds from transactions, is the most common way of calculating REIT income.

REITs Investors generate following types of income:

– Dividend income
– Price gains after the sale of REIT units
– REITs are a great opportunity for investors who want to diversify their portfolios outside the gold and securities markets. This is a great place to invest if you are investing in real estate for the first time and want to diversify your portfolio without unnecessary risk.

Conclusion:-

A REIT is a good option for investors who do not want to manage real estate, or for those who do not have or can not get the funds for it. REITs are also a great way for aspiring real estate investors. Individual investors can invest in income from owning commercial real estate with a REIT without buying it themselves. Direct real estate investment is good if you want more control over your money and prefer a convenient approach.

credai-property-prices-may-rise-in-future

The builders’ committee demanded that the government should take actions to regulate the prices of raw materials. They also proposed to reduce the tax on goods and services for this. CREDAI, which includes more than 13,000 developers, noted that the prices of building materials have risen steadily since January 2020.

The Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) shows concern about the continuing rise in commodity prices, including cement and steel. Housing prices could rise by 10-15 percent to compensate for the increase in construction costs. The authority also demanded that the government should take steps to control the prices of raw materials, and proposed to reduce the tax on goods and services for this.

Delays in construction causes price hike-

In addition, the association said construction delays caused by curfews, lockdowns and labor shortages have led to a direct 10-15 percent increase in construction costs in recent years.

Generally the prices of all materials and goods have risen every time there is a steady rise in fuel prices. However the prices of building materials have been steadily rising since January 2020. Add to that construction delays caused by labor shortages, lockdowns, curfews, has led to rise in labor costs, which has resulted in a direct 10-15 percent increase in construction costs over the past 18 months. Also RERA does not allow the flexibility to increase the selling price even though construction costs increase significantly.

Government should tackle the increasing raw material price-

Harsh Vardhan Patodia, president, CREDAI National said, we have seen consistently sharp increases in commodity prices over the past year and they do not seem to be declining in the future. Developers may not be able to meet the rising costs and ultimately shift the burden onto home buyers. CREDAI requested the government and relevant ministries to address this issue and address the issue of price increases as soon as possible.

One way to deal with this problem may be to allow price increases by allowing the clause in the agreement between buyer and seller. The government may also consider allowing Input Tax Credit for real estate projects or optimizing GST for various building materials relative to their current prices. If these steps are not taken immediately, property prices in all segments will rise and will directly affect affordable housing and for all government missions for housing.

Hike in construction cost may affect buyers-

Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group said, given the rising inflation trends in the cost of materials such as cement and steel, it was clear that developers would sooner or later have to raise prices. The increase in building material costs is severe, so it can be offset without affecting buyers. Inflation has affected our lives at all levels, and property development is no exception.

Sharp price increase in raw materials-

Anubhav Jain, CEO, SilverGlades Group said, expenditure on raw materials such as cement and steel has risen markedly in recent months. Since most developers operate with very low margins, any hike in prices of raw materials puts enormous pressure. We will estimate our costs for the input resources, if necessary we also have to raise the prices.

Builders have to disclose the status of mortgage loans for apartments

Posted on November 15, 2021 by zeeshan

Real estate developers must declare security interests created by them for projects registered with an authority. The decision will increase transparency and inform potential home buyers about any mortgages or loans that the developer has taken in relation to the apartments they intend to buy, or the project itself.

This information is now available with the Central Registry for Securitization and Asset Reconstruction and Securities of India (Cersai). Cersai is the central authority that processes and stores such data. Established under the Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act (Sarfaesi Act), Cersai aims to prevent credit fraud, such as loans from different banks on the same property.

Cersai has collateral data created from 22 January 2016 for registered commercial banks and, with effect July 1, 2016 for all other persons registered with it. It has started the process of registration of data on security interest in residential and commercial properties under construction from June 2017.

Home buyers should be aware of the loan status of apartment-

MahaRERA has clearly stated that home buyers and winning bidders must also be aware of the security interest on real estate projects and apartments they are interested in buying. Often home buyers buy a property without knowing its mortgage or loan status, which later leads to lawsuits and legal complications.

If the developer took out a loan by mortgaging inventory or some apartments, and can not return it. The banks will then acquire the property to get their contingent back and that this process can affect the home buyer. However with the new decision this situation can be avoided as Cersai keeps a record of all properties that have been sanctioned for loan.

Real estate developers must now submit a report to Cersai on the security interests created in the property project. Along with an encumbrance certificate when the project registered with the authority.

In the absence of security interest, the developer must provide a supporting commitment or provide an undertaking. The developer also expected to submit a report to Cersai on changes in property security interests. According to MahaRERA, submitted Cersai reports must be generated within 10 days of the submission date.

builders-can-not-divide-and-sell-plot-greater-noida-authority

Developers will no longer be able to subdivide and sell their allotted land in Greater Noida and for industrial setup as well. They can not divide and sell land before the establishment of the local authority, and they must also pay a development fee.

The decisions were made today at the 124th board meeting of the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) at its Greater Noida office. Sanjeev Mittal, Uttar Pradesh Commissioner for Industrial Development, chaired the meeting attended by GNIDA CEO Narendra Bhoshan and several other senior level officials.

Villages will have smart classroom and libraries-

The board approved a proposal to transform 14 villages into smart villages. Mr. Bhoshan informed the board that a pilot project has been started in Maicha village. The tenders will soon be announced for 13 more villages.

In the first phase of smart village initiative, facilities for drinking water, drains, sewer connections, streets and electricity lines will be built. In the second phase – libraries, Wi-Fi, youth training centers and smart classrooms will be created in the schools of these cities.

Industries that started in Greater Noida even before GNIDA was formed will now be able to buy FAR (floor area ratio) on the remaining plots. They have to pay a fixed fee for this purchase. These companies must also have to pay development fees as well.

Now the apartments will be available to buyers on time

GNIDA stated that in view of the interests of apartment buyers, the board has made an important decision regarding developers to subdivide the plots and sell them. Now the division of large plots is forbidden. This means that the developer will now not be able to independently sell (divide) the plots allocated to him by GNIDA. They will have to complete the project.
This decision taken by GNIDA has two advantages. The builders will only take the land on which they want to build the project. Secondly, the apartments will be delivered on time. GNIDA said that time will not be wasted due to the subdivision of plots. The designated developer will be responsible for the timely delivery of apartments to buyers.

But with increased investments from multinational companies in India, the value of real estate here is skyrocketing. Noida sector 150 is located at the south end of Noida Expressway. It is located at the convergence of the Yamuna and Hindon rivers and is only 8 km from Pari Chowk, Greater Noida.

Noida 150 sector appears to have increased demand for the residential segment. Many famous builders in Delhi-NCR have started many projects in this sector. Buyers can find 3 BHK and 4 BHK luxury apartments easily and quickly. Many spacious 2 BHK’s have also been implemented in the projects. All of these homes have quality facilities as well as excellent environmentally friendly amenities.

Reasons why 2 BHK flat in sector 150 Noida is a great investment!

Connectivity to major areas-

Robust connectivity is one of the main factor which has contributed to overall growth of this locality. Sector 150 is close to three major expressways i.e, Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, Yamuna Expressway and DND Expressway. Proximity to these expressways facilitates easy commute between regions of Delhi-NCR and Agra. Sector 150 also has proximity to the upcoming Jewar Airport, one can reach the airport in just 30 to 40 minutes. Delhi’s metro network runs through the area within walking distance, making it ideal to reach any part of Delhi-NCR.

Prominent Housing Options-

Everyone wants to live in a place which has good quality social infrastructure of schools, hospitals, entertainment centers and shops. In the immediate vicinity of sector 150 there are reputed educational institutions like RPS International School, Amity University, Galgotia University etc.

The locality also has proximity to world class sports facilities such as Buddha Circuit (Formula 1 circuit), golf courses and the first cricket stadium in Noida. It is listed as one of the best sectors in Noida on the 24 km section of the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. Sector 150 provides a high standard of living, and there are several top-class housing projects from leading developers such as Tata Value Homes and Godrej Properties.

6 Major Reasons that cause property price appreciation!

Noida authority reduced transfer charges by 5% for residential plots

Posted on September 27, 2021 by zeeshan

noida-authority-reduced-transfer-charges-for-residential-plots

On Friday, the Noida Authority board reduced the transfer charges of properties. According to real estate experts it will be a huge relief for thousands of residents. Apartment buyers and owners of residential plots entering the secondary market now have to pay 2.5% instead of 5%. Similarly, transfer fees for commercial, industrial and institutional sectors have also changed.

The Uttar Pradesh Government’s Infrastructure and Industrial Development Department has asked the three industrial development authorities in Greater Noida and Noida to regulate their policies. The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) had already lowered the rates in June.

Likewise, transfer fees for institutional property have been lowered from 10% to 5%. Buyers of commercial real estate will have to pay 5% for such plots, and buyers of shops and kiosks have to pay 2.5%.

Other Crucial Decision-

– All allottees were given an additional six-month extension to obtain a completion certificate based on the lease deed conditions without paying additional fees to request an extension.

– The authority has also received board approval for the installation of a anti-smog tower in sector 16A together with BHEL.

– Leaders who work and travel to Delhi can also look forward to a timely completion of the Chilla elevated road. Work on the road had to be stopped in December last year. As the state government did not allocate its share of the funding for the project. After receiving an order for Rs 605 crores, the Uttar Pradesh PWD and Noida administration had to share the costs equally.

–However, the government has not yet taken the necessary steps to transfer funds to the Department of PWD. Government officials will continue the project and begin construction until the funds are finished. Further the officials can contact the government to get more capital.

Experts Opinion-

Sanjeev Mittal, Noida Authority Chairman, who chaired the board meeting, said. “Changing the transfer fees is an extremely important step for residents. Various groups and associations of residents have requested and asked the authorities to reduce the transfer fee.”

Rakesh Kumar Srivastava, Deputy Inspector General of the Department of stamps and Registration, said, “the decision by the authorities is taken in a timely manner. This will improve the mood in the housing market shortly before the festival season.”

Amit Gupta, president of the Prateek Wisteria Apartment Owners Association in Sector 77, said, “Reducing the cost of transferring memorandum charges will help many residents who want to buy or sell their property. But the authorities must also work on the problems of helpless buyers who cannot perform the registry process.”

Stamp duty reduced by 2% on flats priced below Rs 45 lakh

Posted on September 23, 2021 by zeeshan

On Monday the State Legislative Assembly approved an amendment to the Revenue Stamps Act of 1957 that significantly reduced the stamp duty on apartments valued from Rs 35 to 45 lakhs to 3%. However, the 2% discount only applies to the first registration, in other words to the first sale.

R. Ashoka, Revenue Minister said hundreds of thousands of apartments in Bangalore and other cities remained unsold due to the problem caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Reducing the stamp duty will help both the real estate sector, which is struggling with large holdings, and families from low-income groups.

The bill anticipates the statement from B.S. Yediyurappa when the budget was presented as chief minister in March this year.

Last December, the government amended the law to introduce a 3% exemption on apartments valued between Rs 20 lakhs and 35 lakhs. In its budget last year, Yediyurappa significantly reduced stamp duty on new apartments at prices below Rs 20 lakhs to 2%.

M.B. Patil, a Senior member from Congress, requested the government to make more concessions on Maharashtra lines, lowering stamp duties regardless of price.

Members of Congress DK Shivakumar and Ramesh Kumar and member of JD (S) SR Mahesh called on the government to help people build houses within this budget on their plots of land.

The rate will be linked to the creditworthiness of the applicant.

The bank said in a statement, “This rate also applies to balance transfer cases and is the lowest among public sector banks.”

Waiver on Processing fees-

In addition, it will offer additional home loans at a reasonable interest rate for both balance transfer cases and existing ones.

PNB said it is already offering a complete waiver of service / maintenance fees for home, car, private, myProperty and gold loans as part of its Festival Bonanza offering. One of the lender said, home loans will be more affordable for customers due to full exemption from service fees and a low interest rate starting at 6.60 percent.

While the auto/car loans start at 7.15 percent, personal loans start at 8.95 percent, one of the lowest in the industry. Earlier in the day, PNB also reduced its externally attached RLLR by 0.25 percent to 6.55 percent. “The repo-linked lending rate (RLLR) has changed from 6.80 percent to 6.55 percent from September 17, 2021 (Friday).”

6 Major Reasons that cause property price appreciation!

Posted on September 21, 2021 by zeeshan

Real estate will continue to be the preferred investment class worldwide. Smart real estate investing can change our lives by giving us enough money to make our dreams come true. Today, most of us have an investment portfolio that consists of a variety of investments, be it stocks, bonds, gold, etc. However, most of the people have still undervalued or ignored real estate investment. With the huge economic boom in most cities in India, the average income has increased, giving us additional capital to invest in the future, and real estate may be the ideal investment opportunity for you.

The price of real estate depends on various factors such as location, demand and supply, interest rates, future development plans, etc. Some investors buy properties for the purpose of selling them later, when supply is low to take advantage of price increase.

What is the appreciation rate?

In real estate, appreciation refers to the value of your property, or how much the value increases over time. You get several benefits when real estate grows and increases in value. First, you can get more by selling your property. As long as the demand is high in your market, you can get a higher selling price and therefore earn more profit.

5 Reasons for property price appreciation!

Demand & Supply:-

When the demand for housing in a given area increases. Property prices rise unless the number of housing projects built to meet the demand does not recover quickly enough. Home buyers who buy houses for their own use are willing to pay extra if the locality is attractive and desirable for living. The ideal moment for home buyers to buy a property in areas with great upward potential, is a period when investor activity has not yet begun.

Features of property:–

The property’s facilities and improvements also affect its value. For example, remodeling a home, installation of wooden cabinet can increase its value. Decorating a basement, adding another bathroom, or replacing carpet with tiles are other examples of improvements that add value. In addition, the availability of parking spaces has a major impact on the value of the property. Parking spaces can create a price difference of 10% to 15%, especially in metropolitan areas where parking in residential areas can be a problem.

Owners who continue to improve their property may receive a higher rate than current market prices. This can be a basement garage, a kitchen lawn, or a small garden terrace. In addition to this, the property’s architectural design, maintenance and interior also play a crucial role in property price appreciation.

Location:-

The location of the property is a major influencing factor. As the area around your property grows, new businesses emerge and new jobs open up, local housing prices tend to rise. If society struggles, or companies shut down then lower values are usually achieved.

Local development:-

For property price appreciation, it is important that the social infrastructure and the local area support growth. Property in a gated community with an active Residents Welfare Association (RWA) will be preferred over independent property located in a common area. Likewise, green cover, security surveillance, and facilities in the immediate vicinity can also add value to the property.

Infrastructure Development:-

Infrastructure development plays a pivoted role in property price appreciation. Any type of development like trans-infra projects will boost the value. They are expected to drive population growth and ultimately increase demand. Investors who identify the right time to enter the market can get the most out of their real estate investment.

Impact of Government Policies:-

One of the important policies that have a direct impact on the growth in property values is interest rates on loans. The lower rate of interest attracts more buyers to the market, creating greater demand and great property price appreciation. Similarly, lowering stamp duties, GST rates, circle rates, income tax exemptions, etc. directly affects demand. In addition, the introduction of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016 (RERA) has created great trust among home buyers. This may not directly affect property prices, but streamlines the process of buying homes. Also home buyers can challenge offenses conducted by a builder. Such as property rights, delays or changes to the master plan without your consent, etc. This transparency helps with integrated development of the real estate industry.

Tips to improve property price appreciation!

In general, the national average property price appreciation rate for real estate is between 3% and 5%. However, this can vary greatly and really depends on the unique factors of your long-term ownership. Fortunately, if your real estate investment does not appreciate as you would like to see, there are several ways to increase the value of your property.

Improve efficiency of property: If you can reduce the amount of energy needed to run a property, you should gradually increase its value. This could mean replacing appliances with EnergyStar, installing solar panels,planting trees around the house.
Increasing property square footage: Increasing living space to a property increases its value. You can build an ADU or guest house at the back of the house, or add a basement.
Make smart improvements: Improving your property can add value, but be sure to make the right choices. Not all upgrades increase the value, some can degrade the existing value as well.

The e-registration for developers for the first property sale will begin on October 2, Balasaheb Thorat, State revenue minister announced on Saturday. This initiative will benefit the citizens.

“The registration department is all set with the software, and the process will be officially implemented from 2nd October. This will be for developers registered with RERA, to whom the department will supply the software after appropriate checks. This allows them to register documents from their offices.”

Orientation program for developers

While the minister had previously said that e-registration would be compulsory for all such developers, Throat said citizens can also register properties at sub-registrar offices. Before the e-registration of all new housing projects started with the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) from October 1, the state registration department is ready to test the software next week. 50-60 developers have already begun e-registration in the state. Currently, more than 350 projects and 2,700 documents have been registered by e-registration.

Shravan Hardikar, inspector general of registration and stamps, said, “the upcoming software allows the developer to prepare a project template within 24 hours, this process took time earlier. A developer orientation program will be held in the last week of September.”

Brings more transparency

The department also reflects on the application process. To access the software, the developer must first contact the district registrar. This process expected to result in more e-registrations, the department will also provide for an increase in staff to speed up the e-registration of documents.

Sunil Furde, CREDAI State President expressed his opinion and said, E-registration will be a game changer for developers and customers registered with RERA. “This will bring transparency and clarity to the registration process.” Customers planning to register properties next month said the process would remove intermediaries or middlemen.

Karnataka government’s to cut guidance value, can boost property market!

Posted on September 10, 2021 by zeeshan

Last week Finance Minister R. Ashoka said, that the government is considering revising the guidance value by December. Any reduction will be made in overall Karnataka, with the exception of industrial areas and areas along the highways.

Discussions in the state government about the decline in the guidance values have encouraged developers and potential home buyers. This will spur the real estate sector showing signs of improvement after the second wave of Covid-19.

A lower guidance value is expected to boost the number of property registrations, which in turn will increase government revenue. About 2.1 lakh documents were registered in August, which generated revenue of Rs 1,142 crore, up from Rs 969 crore (1.7 lakh documents) in 2020 and Rs 911 crore in 2019.

What is Guidance Value?

Guidance value is the property’s minimum sale price. The government creates this depending on the area and the type of building. Downward revisions will lead to lower property prices. According to the rules, the government must review the costs every year. In January 2019, the government announced an increment in the range of 5 to 24 percent.

Demands to lower the rates

K.P. Mohanraj, Inspector General of Registration and Commissioner of Stamps, said, the guidance value could not be revised in 2020 due to the pandemic. Since the government wants to accept this year, we started the process. Demands for lower rates have long been heard, which in some areas is very high and leads to overpricing of real estate. For example, the guidance value of a property on MG Road is over Rs 1.9 lakh per square metre. On Lavelle Road it is about Rs 2 lakhs per square metre. Some real estate representatives said that due to the recession associated with Covid, some properties were undervalued and sold.

Government should also provide exemption in stamp duty

MS Shankar, the general secretary of the Forum for People’s Collective Efforts, said a decrease in the guidance value will have an impact on the property tax. The news added to the positive sentiment, especially in the wake of the recent property tax euro caused by BBMP’s erroneous zoning. The government should also consider reducing the stamp duty on property registrations across all price ranges.

Suresh Hari, chairman of CREDAI-Bangalore, said, while we welcome the government’s plans to lower the guidance value, we hope the government also takes into account the underlying realities before concluding the final rates. He added that real estate sales have reached 30 percent from the level before covid.

MahaRERA launches help desk to resolve general queries of homebuyers

Posted on September 9, 2021 by zeeshan

The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) has opened a help desk for citizens to resolve inquiries from home buyers regarding various services. Toll-free numbers are 1800 2103770 and 022-69157100 operate from 7:00 am to 11:00pm every day, except Sundays and public holidays.

MahaRERA’s secretary Vasant Prabhu said the technical assistance was launched when many citizens declared their inability to communicate with the authorities after the pandemic for various problems. A team has been appointed to assist citizens in resolving their concerns. The team will assist them in filing complaints online or checking dates of hearings or other project registration requests. The support service will provide general information. If there are citizens who want to understand more technical issues, a dedicated technical team will help them.

Ramesh Prabhu, chairman of the Maharashtra Society Welfare Association, said, this move would help citizens who are unfamiliar with MahaRERA’s activities. Many of MahaRERA members tried to call the toll-free number and found it very helpful. This move is very advantageous during the time of pandemic. Citizens can contact the support service and check the status of the project before investing in it.

The helpdesk will also help people file complaints under the direction of on-duty staff.

Manjunath Kakkalameli, a district court lawyer, said, even though the virtual hearing took place during the pandemic, there would be a help desk available to help citizens. Section (3) of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016 requires the authorities to introduce an online system for submitting project registration applications.

As a result more and more home buyers, especially working professionals, intend to shift their decision to Duplex home.

Apart from apartments, Bangalore is also experiencing an increased interest of buyers in independent houses for investment purposes. As people turn towards more open spaces, especially due to the inability to go out at will, the demand for independent houses has also increased in the city. With the change in priorities, the trend towards duplex houses is likely to continue for a long time and for a significant portion of sales in Bangalore.

Tips before you consider a Duplex house for sale in Bangalore-

Cost of the House- Generally Duplexes cost more than single-family homes. Hence, you not only have to pay a higher percentage for the down payment, but the overall cost itself will be higher. So ensure you have enough capital to pay for this extra cost. So if you are planning to buy or rent a duplex house with many rooms, it will be very expensive.

Size or Layout- The number of bedrooms on each floor completely depends on the size of the house. If you buy a larger duplex, you get more rooms, and if you buy a smaller one, you get relatively fewer rooms. You can plan your duplex layout based on the number of rooms you need. Typically, a small two-story home has a living room, hall, and kitchen on the first floor and a bedroom on the second floor. The best thing is that you can customize the duplex to suit your needs and requirements.

Privacy- When you buy a duplex house and live on the same side (either down or up). Your tenants can come to you at any time with questions or concerns about your rental property. You can hear them through walls and they can potentially hear you. In simple words, a duplex house in Bangalore has less privacy.

Office or work space:- With the trend of work from home, more and more home buyers are looking for a house which can provide them an additional space. For those buyers, duplex is a perfect option to consider. In a duplex house you have enough rooms which can used for your work or office space.

Disadvantages of buying a duplex home-

Understanding this will help you set expectations and hopefully help you avoid negative situations.
Sharing can be an issue:- In case of duplex house for sale in Bangalore, you are likely to share your yard and other amenities with your neighbor.

MahaRERA marks 1,824 residential projects as ‘expired’ across the state

Posted on September 3, 2021 by zeeshan

About 1,824 residential projects in the state were declared as “expired” due to exceeding completion dates set by the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA).

These projects will now require 51% of the buyer’s consent to ensure that appropriate completion dates are extended. 103 of these projects were completed on time in 2017, 541 next year and 1,180 in 2019.

According to an official, many projects were not completed, even after a one-year extension under section 6 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act. “All of these projects will now require the consent of 51% of the buyers in accordance with Section 7 (3) of the Act”.

Developers are now restricted to promotions-

Due to the Act, developers of these projects are prohibited from selling, advertising, or promoting them before applying for an extension. Of the 1,824 projects listed by MahaRERA as overdue or expired, 350 project renewals have been submitted. However applications of these projects are currently pending or under scrutiny.

MahaRERA has extended the deadline to September for projects that were supposed to be completed in March. “The rest of the projects had deadlines before 2020 year, when the pandemic hit,” a MahaRERA spokesman said. A majority of the projects are based in Pune, Mumbai, Thane and Raigad.

An additional 1,500 projects may be under the scanner since their deadline expired in March 2021. Developers of these projects may now benefit from a one-year renewal under RERA Section 6.

Strong message to arrogant developers-

The developers felt that the authorities should make decisions appropriately as the market was down and there were difficulties in getting documents on time.

Anuj Puri, Anarock Property Consultants chairman said, the MahaRERA’s decision was a strong signal for arrogant developers who were postponing projects. “Home buyers have been waiting to gain possession of projects for the past three years. The last year was unique as the pandemic resulted in disruptions in the supply chain and inaccessibility of buildings. The year 2020 should be considered as an exception.”

Credai Maharashtra President Sunil Furde said, “MahaRERA was right to point out the status of unfinished projects. However, many projects remain “unfinished” for technical reasons. The authorities need to consider and evaluate this aspect as well. In addition, the projects for Credai members listed on the portal were completed on time. The “completion certification” for these projects has been received from municipal corporations before the registered dates. There are projects that have been completed, but completion certificates were received later.”

Developers collecting money without agreement is violation- TNRERA

Posted on August 27, 2021 by zeeshan

Developers who collect payments from home buyers without entering into a construction or sale contract are in violation of the TNRERA Act, the state property regulator has determined.

Tamil Nadu Real Estate Regulatory Authority, in a recent order noted that partial payments with “expression of interest” with a promise of refund/repayment were misleading and were intended to circumvent legal proceedings.

The complaint concerns “The Goodwood Residence” in Cenotaph Road area of Chennai, developed by Cenotaph Developers LLP and Olympia Tech Park Chennai Pvt. Ltd.

The complainant’s or buyer documentation stated that Rs 3.63 crore had been paid to developers. It was a part of a “non-binding expression of interest” for the purchase of an apartment in a housing project in 2016. A year later, the complainant/buyer decided to withdraw from the project and demanded compensation from the developer.

The developer after deduction of almost Rs 12.8 lakh returned only Rs 3.5 crore. The developer returned Rs 3.5 crore after deduction of almost Rs 12.8 lakhs as service taxes. However the complainant/buyer filed a complaint to TNRERA and demanded a refund of the amount withheld.

In statements, the developers rejected the allegations, declaring that the claim was prima facie not maintainable for want of jurisdiction.

Collected 80% amount without entering into sales agreement

TNRERA, after listening to the views of both parties, said that developers charged about 80% of the cost without entering into a sales or construction agreement. This is a clear violation of Article 13 of the RERA Act. In 2016, the developers received two cheques of Rs 95 lakhs from the complainant as “expressions of interest”. G. Saravanan, TNRERA Judge said that the receipt of the payment with the promise of compensation was intended to circumvent the legal procedure.

Furthermore, the developers failed to demonstrate that they provided taxable services to the complainants, which was registered with the tax authorities in the service for the implementation of the specified payment in relation to the project. The complainant thus is entitled to a deductible amount together with an interest rate of 10.2% in accordance with the order of the real estate regulator’s.
