Points that should be considered while buying real estate property

Tips on searching for properties online

Some years ago, the only approach for prospective homebuyers to find a suitable real estate property was to contact a broker. However, thanks to the internet, many homebuyers prefer shortlisting their options online. Of course, personal inspection of a property is still necessary before the final purchase.

Today, more and more people looking for flats begin their hunt online. Best real estate websites are replete with information on newly constructed and under-construction projects across cities. Property portals also provide information on options available in a certain location, the unique aspects of the area and the India property pricing trends.

However, relying solely on property marketing portals is a mistake. The information they provide can be incomplete and sometimes even misleading, says Kishor Pate, CMD, Amit Enterprises Housing Ltd.

For instance, most home seekers scanning the internet are often looking for the cost advantage of investing in an under-construction project. Naturally, the primary search parameter tends to be the price. However, internet searches based solely on price, city and location can generate insufficient and skewed results.

Homebuyers should be aware that while buyingproperty in an under-construction project by a reputed and well-funded developer is safe, an incomplete project by an unknown builder does not offer such assurance. Also, a well-known developer’s reputation is a safety stamp for construction quality and good internal fittings.

Property listings posted by individual brokers dealing in all sorts of projects usually do not provide this vital information. After all, disclosing details such as name of the project and its developer would kill their marketing advantage. However, it is necessary to know these details before one can shortlist options based on quality, investment, safety as well as price.

There are, of course, exceptions to this information gap. For instance, many large real estate brokerages have exclusive project marketing mandates with reputable real estate developers. Property listings by such brokerages do tend to provide all the necessary details.

Real estate marketing portal listings are usually the first search results to show up during an online property search. This is because these platforms invest heavily in search engine optimization to attract internet traffic. However, no online search for an under-construction property is complete on the basis of just these results. Aspiring buyers also need to visit the websites of reputed developers.

Investors want to invest in Residential Property in Noida

After the Noida Authority’s announcement that owners of institutional plots could sell portions of their land for residential use earlier this month, city-based industrialists have demanded that residential plots within sectors of industrial units be reserved for them.

The Authority had taken the decision to help increase housing projects in the region.

In a letter addressed to Authority chairman Rama Raman, the Noida Entrepreneurs’ Association (NEA) mentioned that the establishment of Noida was primarily meant to encourage industries. For the purpose, industrialists had been promised residential plots. “But even after so many years, the promise remains unfulfilled. We demand that the Authority roll out a scheme to reserve residential plots for industrialists at the earliest,” said Vipin Malhan president NEA.

Malhan further said that just like the Authority had recently sanctioned a percentage of land in institutional plots to be converted into residential areas, it should issue similar increase in the FAR (floor area ratio) of industrial units so that a certain percentage of land can be used to provide residential property.

The NEA also demanded that instead of allotting further plots to builders, the Noida Authority should first launch a scheme wherein residential plots for industrialists are reserved. ‘Until such a scheme is launched, we demand that the Authority allow a certain percentage of industrial units to be converted for residential use so that industrialists can carry out their business without any hindrance,” said Malhan.

Affordable Real Estate Property in Delhi/NCR

Affordable real estate property prices, proximity to the national capital, fast-developing infrastructure and the availability of spacious and quality residential units are the key factors driving the growth of satellite towns and other suburbs of the NCR.

Also, rocketing property prices in Delhi, Gurgaon, and Noida combined with a shortage of housing units to accommodate the fast growing migrant population, has propelled the real estate market in these suburbs and satellite towns. These locations mature, saturate, and get established with the development of physical and social infrastructure, the affordability factor diminishes rapidly forcing the masses to move further away from the national capital in search of their dream home or for investment purpose.

Noida-Greater Noida Expressway: This location has already emerged as the best real estate property. However, what is little known is the fact that Noida-Greater Noida Expressway also has a tremendous potential for the growth of other asset classes like hotels, hospitals, and retail outlets, which are still at a very nascent stage of development.

“Rents and values of commercial properties in this region still continue to be low compared to other commercial districts in the NCR, making it an attractive proposition for corporates.

Improved connectivity through the extension of Noida Metro line is likely to provide the necessary momentum for this corridor. The operational Yamuna Expressway has already seen a leap in the traffic inflows from various neighbouring cities to the NCR.

“This will further enhance the connectivity of the major cities of the state to the national capital that will be routed through Noida-Greater Noida Expressway. FNG (Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad) Expressway will cut across Noida-Greater Noida Expressway and will enhance connectivity to the adjacent cities and add to the momentum.”

In addition to these, there are some other places which are fast emerging as hotspots in the Delhi NCR. Dwarka Expressway, for instance, is one such region. “Price correction in the secondary market of projects under construction is an attractive proposition for homebuyers; there is also hope that the land acquisition issues hampering the completion of the expressway will be sorted out this year.”  

Greater Faridabad is another place, which is developing into a mega hub for residential and commercial projects; the biggest draw is that property here is still available at affordable rates.

“Located midway between Noida and Gurgaon, Greater Faridabad is set to benefit from the completion of FNG corridor, well-planned infrastructure, and an affordable market.”

Mega projects like the F1 race track and other forthcoming ones like the Jaypee Sports City project and the night safari park, will push the next wave of development, which will expand the city boundaries further.
