Some builders are offering freebies such as modular kitchen, electrical appliances, woodwork furnishing, gold coin, vehicle, etc., depending on the ticket size. Homebuyers can select these freebies to bring down the total cost of buying a property.

Lower interest rates: With low-interest rates given by the financial institutions, developers turn up with new schemes in housing projects making it an open wide road for homebuyers with low interest and more alternatives in housing plans.

NRIs reshaping the Indian Luxury Real Estate Market

NRIThere is an interesting trend that has been noticed in Indian real estate market. In a market riddled by lack of demand from buyers, developers are seen launching luxury residential projects.

Resultantly, there has been an unexpected emergence of interest in the luxury residential segment which has come from non-resident Indian clienteles and buyers with deep pockets.

A lot of Realtors have joined the trend in Pune and Mumbai as well. Following the implementation of the real estate Act, the market in all parts of the country was stirred up for better or for worse.

While the transparency and authenticity in real estate investments became apparent, the risk of seeing the project ever reach completion with respect to compliance has a lot of residential home investors backing out. To make-up for the miserable loss, developers are looking to make the most of this micro-market.

The demographic for luxury projects is limited. However, this is the segment that has kept non-corporate realtors out of the red in recent times. A remarkable fact about the NRI customer base is that even a risk-prone project does not disappoint them. As long as a luxury project is made debt-free, NRIs do not hesitate from paying extra to purchase the same.

Most of these luxury houses have a specific net worth that runs into hundreds of crores because each home comes with a price-tag of Rs 6-8 crore. In spite of the dearth, real estate big shot have done a booming business in Mumbai and Gurgaon.

This shows that in spite of the storms that were thrown its way, real estate industry is capable of sustaining through micro-marketing. The niche of investors may be thin, but it is not absent. According to real estate analytics, a list of real-estate developers have managed to snag end-user consumers enthusiastic about luxury housing projects.

Mumbai saw Lodha Group and Radius Developers making a profitable business. The Lodha Groups have launched about four new luxurious, high-end projects at Walkeshwar, Lower Parel, and are now concentrating on Pune. Radius Developers has two upcoming projects where each luxury home may get them approximately Rs 13 crore.

How can you claim your money back if your developer is going insolvent?

Insolvent conceptEven though the Real Estate Regulation Act is now in force, property buyers, mainly in Noida, are failing to see much relief as it stands today.

When home buyers are faced with an insolvency proceeding, here’s what you can do to make sure that your rights are protected when the builder fails to complete the project

What is insolvency?
Insolvency is the state of being incapable to pay the money owed, by a person or company, on time; those in a state of insolvency are said to be insolvent.

In case of insolvency:
Insolvency proceedings should confirm that homebuyers get their respective properties and the flow of money remains non-disruptive by bringing in a government agency or co-developer to finish the project when a builder fails to do so.

What is the change?
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2016, and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (Fast Track Insolvency Resolution Process for Corporate Persons) Regulations, 2017, provide forms for submission of claims by operational creditors, including financial creditors, workmen, and employees.

Earlier, there was no provision for individuals to claim under the insolvency law. That hole has recently been plugged by a government notification.

How to make your claim?
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India notification says that a person claiming to be a creditor should “submit proof of its claim to the interim resolution professional or resolution professional in person, by post or by electronic means in Form F of the Schedule.”

The existence of the claim of the creditor may be proved on the basis of the records available in an information utility, if any, or other related documents adequate to establish the claim, comprising any or all of the following:
1. Bank statements of the customer showing non-satisfaction of claim
2. Documentary evidence demanding satisfaction of the claim
3. An order of court or tribunal that has arbitrated upon non-satisfaction of claim

How can it be resolved?
The best way to resolution could be the completion of the project through a change of developer (if the existing developer is insolvent) so that homebuyers get the unit which was promised to them.
