Q: I have booked on 26-1-2009, only 59 % work is completed for B wing. Why there is delay in project, since started from january 2009 and no work is in progress. initially assured possession in Nov.2011, then March 2013 and I don'tthink that it will finish during 2013.

My comments to replies
Hi everybody, Is there any one from A- wing buyer? As per last communication with the sales executive the final date communicated to us is Apr-2014, but looking at the current status it is impossible to make it even by Apr-2015/16.
Betrer visit the developer's office asked the reason of delay if still don't get the positive response check the registration, whether compensation for delay is mentioned or not. If it is mentioned, ask for the compensation first otherwise consult a good legal adviser and file a case in the consumer court for compensation.

Q: Will subsidy be given on the cost of land where affordable housing units will be constructed?

My replies to this discussion
Hi Ramesk, Now the affordable homes in Mumbai may not be a distant dream. As Maharashtra Government has been concerned on giving affordable housing. As per the the Maharashtra government, they will change rules and regulations to help in delivery of affordable housing projects for the millions of the state's poor. Making sure that the offered new housing policy would be "pro-people", CM Fadnavis told the developers to work together with the government in its mission to provide affordable housing for the lower-middle class and the poor people.Hi Ramesk, Now the affordable homes in Mumbai may not be a distant dream.

Q: When will this bubble burst, are these flats affordable by a common man? 1BHK -60-80 lacs; 2BHK more than a crore; builders becoming rich and richer, whereas a common man lives under a burden of loan... Is it not a mistake committed by buyers? Check out US economy, people have become bankrupt and their properties are sealed... recession will haunt every buyer. Only these rich builders and property agents will survive with their surplus earnings made from buyers.

Apart from that a completion certificate make sure that the builder/owner has constructed the building according to the approved building plan. Without obtaining the completion certificate, the builder cannot give the possession of the house to the buyer.

My comments to replies
Hi, The development of Airoli is happening in a manner faster than any other Navi Mumbai suburb. “The proximity of Airoli to and its access from eastern express highway and Palm Beach road being its main pillars of development. The travel time from Airoli to South Mumbai and western suburbs is shorter with connectivity through JVLR.
Yeh, That is why the rate of property is quite higher here. The current price trend of multi-storey apartment is between Rs. 7650-15200/sq-ft. Rates differ from one developer to another and locality as well. Similar properties in the nearby localities are Green World, Yash Paradise, Newa Garden, Bhumiraj Meadows, Millennium Avanish Ph-1 etc. in Airoli Navi Mumbai.

My comments to replies
Yes, its true. The steps was taken after holding public consultations across the country, several members of the panel are of the opinion that provisions for prosecution and imprisonment should be added in most cases where builders fail to discharge their duties and functions. I appreciate the panel's decision. It will bring more clarity in the Indian real estate market.
Right Joy, But the final report of the Select Committee of the Rajya Sabha is still under preparation and will be tabled before the upcoming monsoon session. If it comes then there will a provision for imprisonment of up to 3 years or a fine extending up to 10% of the project cost or a combination of the two, but only in cases where developers repeatedly fail to register their projects with the regulatory authority or do not obey with orders for registration.

I feel Sewri located on the eastern shore of Parel Island has recently turned many heads towards it for its affordability. A lot of construction work has been taken up in the locality in the recent years. This is due to the opening up of mill lands and the Mumbai Port Trust area. The locality has shown growth in recent times due to transformation of old residential inventory like Dnyaneshwar Nagar, Shivaji Nagar, SEWRI Koliwada, BDD Chawls, Gulmohar Society, Labour Camp and Bhatwadi. The prices of the apartments in Sewri have gone up by 21 per cent during July-Sept 2012 quarter.I feel Sewri located on the eastern shore of Parel Island has recently turned many heads towards it for its affordability.

But there are some developers like Delhi based DLF and Unitech who find Mumbai market tough to crack and had to exit most of their projects in the city after the slowdown of 2008. As per Jones Lang La Salle, any developer who has a presence in Mumbai real estate, automatically creates a national presence for him. But existing developers are struggling with slow sales even as prices refuse to come down. An apartment in Mira Road is sold at Rs 8000 per sq ft. Also, cost of project development in Mumbai is double than any other city in the country.But there are some developers like Delhi based DLF and Unitech who find Mumbai market tough to crack and had to exit most of their projects in the city after the slowdown of 2008.

Hi Nilesh, the only possible way is to register your flat now.. The biggest hurdle that you will face now is that the registration charge and stamp duty will be levied on the current value of your house.. Also, you have to pay a hefty fine for the delay.. if you fail to register within time, then the developer will be considered the legal and rightful owner.Hi Nilesh, the only possible way is to register your flat now..

Q: I bought a flat in 2008 and last year i sold it. The builder charged me Rs 50000 for NOC for sale of house. Now the VAT decision has been out and he wants me to pay Rs~30000.

Smriti, please update on receipt of your allotment letter.
Hi Shweta, This project was launched 2.5 years back and still some approvals are pending. Government rules are the same for every builder. When others builders can get IOD in months and Bhagtani does not even apply for an IOD in 2.5 years back for certain projects, its very clear about what is their intention.
25th November 2014
I am not telling you that builder is bad because they have successfully completed so many project in and around Mumbai. Sometimes, a developer has to face a lot of difficulties during the approvals. 1 and 2 months can be waited but 2.5 years is quite unbearable. So, before investing in any project check the legal documents again and again. Better, take the help of a legal expert. Verify the documents to its nearby municipal corporation.

Hi everybody, In January 1st'2015, the latest ready reckoner rate hike in Maharashtra - 14% on an average - by the state government is the lowest of recent years. the hike for Mumbai (municipal corporation area) is an average of 14.81%.
I now that lot's of people not aware about the Ready Reckoner Rate. It is the base rate of property that determines stamp duty and registration charge collected by the government in the course of a property transaction. As per the latest information, stamp duty is 5% of the ready reckoner or market rate, whichever is higher, registration charge is likely to be 1% of the total value of a property from this year onwards. Till now, registration charge was fixed at Rs 25000 per transaction on residential properties.

Q: How is Dahisar for investment and for staying as well?
My comments to replies
Dahisar has seen some major development in residential complexes since the 80s and 90s. It has large residential complexes such as Anand Nagar, Misquitta Nagar and Avadhooth Nagar. There are also a few major land developers who have started various residential projects in this area. Some of them include the Lodha Group, RNA builders and Keystone Group. There are independent houses as well as flats available for rent and purchase.
Dahisar is well connected by the Western Express Highway and Mumbai Suburban Railway. Dahisar Bus Station is a bus station in Dahisar East for BEST buses and is located near Dahisar check naka. There are buses to Bandra (West), Chunabhatti, Santacruz Depot and Damu Nagar from this bus station. The Dahisar Bridge Bus Station is the BEST bus station located in Dahisar West, close to Dahisar Bridge. There are buses to Juhu Beach, Yari Road and Shivaji Nagar. There are also many flyovers in Dahisar connecting it to the Western Express Highway.
25th July 2013

The Dahisar railway station is on the Western line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network and it is the last railway station in Mumbai. The Mumbai International Airport is about 22 kms from Dahisar and can be reached via the Western Express Highway.
Dahisar West saw some fluctuation in property rates during the year 2011 while Dahisar East saw a steady rise in property rates. The average price per sft went up from Rs. 4,400 - 9,500 in Dahisar East while it went up from Rs. 6,200 - 11,300 per sft in Dahisar West in the last five years.
25th July 2013

The apartment rates have gone up in Dahisar, the price for residential houses hasn't changed much in the last four years. While the average price per sqft in Dahisar East went up from Rs. 6,500 - 9,300, it actually went down from Rs. 14,800 - 11,200.
The rent for a 1 RK property is between Rs. 8,000 – 12,000. The rent for a 1 BHK flat ranges from Rs. 11,000 – 15,000 while the rent for a 2 BHK flat is between Rs. 14,000 – 25,000. A 3 BHK flat is available for a rent of Rs. 19,000 – 30,000.

Q: How is the real estate trends in Worli, Prabhadevi and Dadar West?
My comments to replies
Worli acts as a bridge between North and South Mumbai due to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The planned monorail is expected to reduce travel time by directly connecting the area to suburban locations. Major companies such as GSK Pharma, Century Textiles, RPG Group, HDFC Bank, Yes Bank and Tata Group are setting up their bases here. Siemens has its Indian Headquarters in Worli. The proposed Peddar Road flyover from Worli will improve its connectivity to the CBD. The proposed Worli-Nariman Point-Cuffe Parade sea link will enhance transportation in Worli.
The development of number of high-end and luxury residential projects have increased the scope for the 'walk-to-work' concept. The three localities are also at close proximity to the Central Business District (CBD) Nariman Point on one end and well connected to the Bandra Kurla Complex on the other.
30th July 2013

Some other contributors to the rising demand are the proximity of the localities to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport and Railway Terminus, which can be reached in less than half an hour. Dadar west has close proximity to the western and central railway lines. The western railway is about 800 mt away and the central railway is just one km away. This makes the locality well-connected to Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai.
Due to the consistent demand of residential properties in these areas, the prices too are going up. Since all these areas are in the same neighbourhood, they are experiencing similar real estate trends. The residential and commercial values have gone up by 8-14% in the last six to seven to months.

Q: What is the reason for the slow pace of redevelopment process?

My replies to this discussion
The slow pace of redevelopment process may be the government has introduced regulations and incentives, there are very frequent changes of rules for redevelopment. The set of incentives also varies for different areas. For example, there are attractive FSI incentives for redevelopment projects in the city area whereas there are not many such incentives in the suburbs. Moreover, the incentives that are introduced for suburbs have not been implemented yet. Hence, it is not viable for builders. There are also some regulations that affect the profit margins of developers. The incentives and regulations introduced are not really attractive for developers to take up redevelopment projects, especially in suburbs.The slow pace of redevelopment process may be the government has introduced regulations and incentives, there are very frequent changes of rules for redevelopment.

The MTHL is a 22 km sea-link that connects Nhava and Sewri. It will be the longest sea bridge in India upon its completion. MTHL is 6-lane freeway grade road bridge, which is 27 meters in width. It will also be linked to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway to the east and the Western Freeway to the west. The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 9,360 crore and it is expected to complete in 2019.

Finding an affordable home in Mumbai in today's scenario is extremely difficult. In the situation where property prices are continuously rising in Mumbai, there are few localities such as Kharghar, Kamothe and Ulwe that may provide a bit of relief for people who are searching for affordable houses.
Mumbai outskirts are the best place for someone who wants to buy an affordable house. However, the affordable homes market on the outskirts of Mumbai is beset by problems such as poor infrastructure, lack of proper access and connectivity, delayed clearances and issues of land titles. So to some extent I agree with Mr Deepankar.

I agree with you Jemore. Apart from the lack of social infrastructure, builders also face delays in obtaining environmental clearance for many of their projects. Tata Housing faced a similar situation in Vasind near Shahpur and had to scrap one of its projects because the necessary clearances got stuck in red tape. Another large low-cost project from another builder in Karjat saw the completion of only phase I. The remaining phases did not take off despite good initial demand.

Q: What is the reason MHADA is increasing FSI for cessed buildings it acquired?

My comments to replies
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is planning to increase the floor space index (FSI) of nearly 400 cessed buildings it recently acquired, in order to boost the redevelopment of these buildings.
The housing board has proposed to increase the FSI from 2 to 3, and is currently waiting for the chief minister's approval. MHADA had recently conveyed rights of the recently acquired 400 cessed properties to the tenants from their land owners, allowing them to form cooperative societies.
20th August 2013

I heard that the minister of state for housing said that there were different options being considered for redeveloping these cessed buildings. What are the different types?
The mininster of state for housing said that there were different options being considered for redeveloping these cessed buildings, such as redevelopment either through land lords, MHADA or private builders. MHADA had also considered revamping certain redevelopment rules such as giving a higher varying FSI for cluster redevelopment. For about 15,000-odd cessed and dilapidated buildings which were privately owned and not conveyed to tenants, the state government had promised an FSI of 3 for redevelopment.

Yes I hope so the work will start soon as yesterday the Prime Minister has cleared all the setting up of Navi Mumbai International airport to smoothen air traffic congestion in the nation’s financial capital.
I heard that they are also planning to start with the work of the expansion of the existing Nagpur airport as the proposal for the transfer of the central government land for the project has been cleared. In return, the state government will give land to the centre at a different location.

Q: I read somewhere that high rise buildings in Mumbai require nod from Meteorological Dept. Is the news true?
My comments to replies
Does the meteorological department have the provision to impose such kind of rules?
According to the development control rules (DCR), the meteorological department does not have any provision of imposing this rule, the Bombay Municipal Corporation's (BMC) high-rise panel has insisted that the builders procure an NOC (no objection certificate) from the meteorological department if the building is within a radius of 10 km of the radar. The initial proposed radius was 25 km.

Q: Is there any chance for property price hike in Mumbai?

My replies to this discussion
It seems property prices in areas like Chembur increasing by 25% over the last two years, areas closest to the freeway’s entry and exit ramps will emerge as stronger locations. These are the Anik, Chembur-Mankhurd Link Road and Panjrapol Link Road areas. :D :)It seems property prices in areas like Chembur increasing by 25% over the last two years, areas closest to the freeway’s entry and exit ramps will emerge as stronger locations.

My comments to replies
Will the Eastern Freeway affect the western suburbs?
The western suburbs will remain unaffected by the freeway, but the contrast between the eastern suburbs--where many infrastructure projects are being undertaken--and the crowded western suburbs may become more pronounced, resulting in price pressure in the western suburbs. The eastern suburbs will see maximum impact, with a size-able increase in absorption, supply and rental/capital values across segments

Q: What is the reason for the endless delay in Mumbai Metro Rail?

My comments to replies
What is the estimated cost of the project and when is the project getting completed?
The state is planning to construct the line completely underground. The estimated cost of the project is approximately Rs. 11,000 crore. The Central government will be funding 20% of the total cost of the project while the rest will be divided between the state government and Reliance Infra.
20th December 2013

Yes 
after seven years of laying the foundation for Mumbai's first alternate transport service in 2006, the Mumbai metro still seems to be stuck in endless delays. The 11.05 km line connecting the eastern and the western suburbs was supposed to become operational in December this year. However now, there are uncertainties looming around its date of commencement.
The first phase of Mumbai metro is to have three lines and the first line between Versova and Ghatkopar was initially supposed to become operational in October 2013, but then got pushed to December 2013. However, the date of commencement of its operations seems to be further getting delayed now.

Has MMRDA now cleared the RoW for civil works?
MMRDA has now cleared the RoW for civil works, but there are still hindrances for acquiring land to construct staircases in five locations. If these staircases are not built in time, the project will not get a final NOC from the fire department and without the NOC, the project cannot be commissioned. Absence of clear underground facilities mapping also created more hurdles and impacted project cost. Along with all these hurdles, the falling value of rupee against the dollar also impacted the cost significantly.

Q: I read a news somewhere that MHADA to get 200 more tenements. Is that true?

My comments to replies
According to the chief officer of MHADA stated that the development body was yet to receive about 200 developed tenements from over 30 developers who were supposed to surrender these flats by the end of this year. In the last one year, MHADA has taken possession of more than 270 apartments from various developers. The development authority has a master list of families and these flats will be handed over to these families.
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has said that it is expecting to get a total built-up space of 70,000 sq.ft from developers who are redeveloping old and dilapidated buildings in the island city of Mumbai by the year-end.
28th September 2013

What MHADA's rules say?
Under the Development Control Regulations (DCR) provision 33(7) and MHADA's redevelopment scheme, builders who take up redevelopment work must surrender a portion of the built-up area to the development authority. They should also first re-house the existing tenants in the new tenements free of cost. The area of these flats must be a minimum of 300 sq.ft. After rehousing existing tenants and surrendering MHADA's portion, the builder can construct high-end flats in the remaining portion of land and sell them in open market.

@Bikram, He also said that challenging laws and taxation must go to help the developers, but finally that should also result in affordable housing stocks. But as per him, the new offered Development Control Rules for Mumbai would make sure that the optional powers of officials are decrease to the minimum for increased visibility.

After both the Phase are completed it will be the world's second longest Mono Rail corridor in the world after Japan's Osaka mono-rail corridor which is 23.8km long. The Mumbai corridor will have 17 stations, two less than the Osaka Mono Rail corridor which has 19 stations.After both the Phase are completed it will be the world's second longest Mono Rail corridor in the world after Japan's Osaka mono-rail corridor which is 23.8km long.

yes you are right, the project had got delayed due to various reasons. However, the roadblock came in the form of uncertainty over traffic dispersal system. There is no consensus between MMRDA, the traffic police and the BMC over traffic dispersal and management. The traffic police department has called the MMRDA's traffic plans as impractical and difficult to implement. MMRDA had designed a plan creating traffic medians, parking bays and side pavements for giving way to commuters. So it will be operational within few days

Q: How is the location of the project ? Which all units are available in this project ??

My replies to this discussion
Hi all, Though people have mentioned that it is highly overpriced, to me it seems in line with the other projects. 16 CR is the all inclusive cost of 2BHK. This includes the stap duty , registration, VAT, service tax, advance maintenance of 18 months, one car park. Putting roughly 20 lac for all these, the cost comes to 1.4Cr which makes it 14000-15000 per sq ft. But the high maintenance and water non availability plus shared facility with MHADA is a definite negative for this project.Hi all, Though people have mentioned that it is highly overpriced, to me it seems in line with the other projects. 16 CR is the all inclusive cost of 2BHK.

Q: Why the government have doubled the FSI around Mumbai? How this is going to benefit?
My replies to this discussion
I heard that the owners with houses in front of wider roads will get up to 90% FSI for construction instead of the existing 75%. The state has also removed the height restrictions of buildings in these areas. An adjustable FSI of 0.20% has been granted for the buildings. This is to avoid any illegalities in building galleries, balconies and corridors in the new townships. Even the land owners will be able to develop plots reserved by state for schools and hospitals.I heard that the owners with houses in front of wider roads will get up to 90% FSI for construction instead of the existing 75%.

Q: Does Mumbai's Monorail have all solved all the traffic problem woes of the country.

My comments to replies
Hi, By the way did you notice that launch of mono rail has not made any significant impact on the sales in real estate market so far. In fact there was so much hype being created saying that the property price will get a boost once the mono rail gets operational.
Hello Lalit, Yes but you will not find the results immediately. It will take some time. Any infrastructure project that impacts the property market of any locality is generally during announcement phase and when it is at different stages of construction. The same happened to Monorail project. It was long pending thus, property prices in Wadala and Chembur have already pumped up by more than 100 per cent in the last 4-5 years.

Hello to all, In fact the locality is also well connected by road and rail network. There are BEST buses plying from Malad to different destinations on frequent basis. Malad has a suburban station on the western harbor meeting the requirements of the residents living in this part of the city. Beside one can also hire a cab, auto or a taxi from Malad to travel to other suburbs of Mumbai and beyond.
Hi Lalit, In fact the completion of metro link connecting Versova and Ghatkopar will further give a boost to the residents living in this locality as this will make the travel easier and faster to public travelling from western suburbs towards central and eastern suburbs.

Q: Planning to buy a flat in Kamla Atlantis?? When will the builder hand over the project for possession.

My comments to replies
I have booked a flat in Kamla Atlantis in Nov-dec 2012. Till date construction has not started. the sales representative of Kaml, one Ms Pranali informed me that as they are yet to receive certain approvals, construction will not start for another 6-8 months. I have given a cancellation request, but the builder has not even acknowledged my request yet even after one month. Please reconsider your decision to buy from Kamla Landmarc builders. If you phone them, the executives do not pick up calls. Sometimes after attending calls they will offer to revert with information, but the call never comes. I am now struggling to get my money back. I was told that the flat would be available by June 2016.
I understand your feelings Roshan..... Now-a-days project delay has become a fashion for the developers. As a buyer, you should be aware of the protection that is available to you in the event of the late delivery of the immovable property you have purchased and also some of the things you need to avoid including in your contract. In case there is a delay in a project and the builder is not willing to pay a compensation as discussed in the builder-buyer agreement, buyers can approach the Consumer Court or the civil court for the execution of the penalty and grievance redressal forum for project delay.

Q: Hey did you notice that Mumbai's property registration slumped to low % in last 5 years.

My comments to replies
Hi Lalit, But since November and December are the most active months for real estate transactions in the city because the government introduces the new ready reckoner rate from January and people tend to close transactions during this period. If we go by the data then it’s a clear sign that the market is hitting a rock bottom and prices need to correct by another 10 per cent or so.â€
Hi Sankalp, Though numbers tend to show a gory picture of the business situation for developers, realtors are keeping a straight face and indicate that sales for their projects have been good or phenomenal. Most developers indicate that they have been recording strong sales in the suburban areas of Mumbai.

Q: Hey did you hear that CIDCO has proposed for building redevelopment for areas in Navi Mumbai.

Hi, Looks like it will take some time to implement the same. The proposal was under discussion with principal secretary, urban development, NMMC, and other nodal government bodies for the last two months. If the board passes the resolution, then it will be forwarded to the state government as it would require change in the development control rules."
Hi Sankalp, In fact I want to add that the grant of enhanced FSI had earlier been proposed only for Cidco areas from Kharghar onwards where it is the planning and development authority. But, it now wants to include old structures it had developed in the NMMC area also.

Q: I am planning to purchase a 1 BHK flat in this project. May I know what is the present rate per sqft the builder is quoting?? Has anyone booked a flat?

Hello Sankalp, Seems to me the price they are charging is correct as I came to know that this is the existing price that is prevailing in this project. Also came to know through marketing executive that the flats consists of 1,2, and 3 BHK. Some days back when I had a chat with the sales guy, he mentioned that the project was launched in the year Oct 2013 and most probably the possession will be by Dec 2014.Hello Sankalp, Seems to me the price they are charging is correct as I came to know that this is the existing price that is prevailing in this project.

Hi Abhi, Nice to know that you are looking for new residential properties in Mumbai. But you haven't mentioned the exact locality where you are planning to purchase the property. As far my knowledge is concerned you can invest in property in Ghodbunder Road, Manpada, Majiwada, Pokhran Road which are all located in Thane. Also you can look for properties in Kharghar, Ulwe, Vashi, CBD Belapur, Uran and Nerul which are situated in Navi Mumbai. The prospect in these localities look bright and good as one can definitely expect good appreciation value in about 4-5 years.

Hi all, Have you heard the current news about the Campa Cola Societies. After three days of hard protest, the residents of Campa Cola compound in south Mumbai today opened the gates of their compound, letting in civic officials to disconnect water, gas and electricity supply to 96 illegal flats in the complex.
Yah, It is really a sad news but they are doing their duty. The MCGM official said that they have only come to cut off the essential supplies peacefully as per the orders of the Supreme Court and will do nothing more than this.
25th June 2014
@Sankalp, Even Ashish Jalan, a resident of the complex apologise to the BMC for the inconvenience caused. Their excuse was that they were trying to save their home only. The residents claim that Mr Chavan has assured them that their interests would be protected within the framework of the law. They were also given the assurance that there would be no demolition during the monsoon season.

Well, As per the news they are looking for some other legal ways. While some residents want Gujarat Chief Minister and BJP's PM candidate Narendra Modi to intervene, others want the BJP-Shiv Sena combine which controls the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to use its powers to stop the demolition.
9th May 2014
@Lalit, Yes, you are right even Mumbai's mayor Sunil Prabhu said after meeting with the residents that the Maharashtra Government should issue an ordinance to prevent the buildings from being demolished. While Chief Minister Prithiviraj Chavan has promised to support the residents, Mumbai's Municipal Commissioner Sitaram Kunte has also announced that the civic body will soon issue a tenders to stop the demolition.

But the opposition parties are alleging that some division of the ruling party may be colluding with builders to demolish parts of different buildings to render them unsafe. Mayor Prabhu felt that the government was within its powers to rein in Kunte.

I appreciate your view and would also like to say that there are many fundamental questions which come up. One is clearly that if you are punishing one, punish all.

@Vineet, The difference in rents depends on proximity to the Corporate Road where all multi-national companies and commercial offices are located. The closer they are to the Road, the more is the rent of the apartment.

On one hand, buyers are expecting a correction in property values while on the other hand, property prices refuse to go down due to increasing construction costs. However, interestingly, the resale market in Mumbai seems to be heading towards a price correction.The primary market in Mumbai is currently in a stagnant state.

However, interestingly, the resale market in Mumbai seems to be heading towards a price correction.
Majority of the projects launched over the last three quarters have witnessed absorption due to the right pricing and positioning. This has made the primary property market in Mumbai attractive and competitive. Added to that is the lower pricing of a property in primary market compared to that of secondary market, at about 15-30 per cent cheaper.

How is the property price in areas close to Central Business District ( Mumbai) and how much will a resale property cost me?
As such, it makes more financial sense to purchase a newly launched property than buy a resale property.

@Deepankar, Although India has emerged as a popular destination for retail segments such as food and beverages, fashion apparel and hypermarket chains, almost 4 out of 10 global retailers are yet to set up shop in the country.

My replies to this discussion
Hi Tanvionly, Vasai is the best place to invest. Vasant Nagri is a decent area. Rates in Vasai East is quite less than Vasai West. Try to bargain with the builder and get a good rate. What's the per square rate you are getting? I think 3-5 years of investment will give around 30-40% return.Hi Tanvionly, Vasai is the best place to invest. Vasant Nagri is a decent area.

Q: I can’t wait for the weekend for Shaimak Davar’s free dance class at Palava city. Palava city is organizing a free class on modern dance by Shaimak Davar’s famous dance academy, Shaimak Davar International. This is going to be conducted in three batches and is open to all age groups, which is even more exciting. Truly the community is coming to life here with various arts and culture events for one and all.
My comments to replies
Hi, Living here pays for itself with total gains of almost Rs.10 lacs per annum – far more than the annual cost of owning a home in the city. Real estate prices in Palava have increased threefold since 2009; making it one of the most profitable investments such as Rs. 500000/p.a in the MMR region. Palava’s residents can walk to work, cutting their commute time by an hour, while increasing their productivity and wages Rs. 80000/p.a.
Hi Padma, You are right even the homeowners can expect to save on a range of expenses by living in Palava. Schools and university at affordable costs. Lower maintenance bills due to sustainable infrastructure. Lower healthcare costs due to a better lifestyle and high-quality but affordable health facilities. Access to world-class sports and arts and culture facilities. Lower transportation costs — everything is a short walk away.
16th June 2014
Yah, you are right Padma, From investment point of view:- One of the important thing will be to have the commerical construction, IT SEZ and others come up. As Lodha has promised a commerical hub will be created that will create 350000 job opportunities over a period of time. Even if 50% os the same is fullfilled that is good from investment points of view.
16th June 2014
@Padma, Also as the construction has already started and proposed posession date is oct 2016 for some of the wings If we assume a dleay of 1/1.5 year as well then also by March 2018 in another 4 years of time we will get the posession. Looks fine to me. From Investment perspective there are the 3 vital factors that will play a major role in your favour: 1) Commercilas to come up in PALAVA 2) Monorail/Metro connectivity by 2020 or so... 3) Employment opportunity...

Hi all, How is the project locality and the connectivity to the other parts of the city?
Hi Deepankar, Godrej Central is situated in a serene locale, a stone's throw away from major connecting roads, highways and railway networks reducing your travel time considerably. Eastern Express Highway - 650 metres, Eastern Freeway - 5.6 Kms, Upcoming Santacruz-Chembur Link Road connecting Western Suburbs, BKC to Chembur - 1.3 Kms, Mumbai Monorail connecting Chembur to Wadala - 900 metres, Chembur Station - 2 kms, Domestic Airport - 13 Kms, International Airport - 14 Kms. Chembur is a suburb situated in the eastern part of Mumbai. It is located at a distance of 22 km from Central Mumbai and 20 km from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. Multi-Storey Apartments and condominiums are the preferred type of property. The locality witnesses demand from both end users as well as investors.

Okey, I was in touch with an agent and he says everything sold out...very few units remaining like 7-8..also they have increased the price by 500/- per sq ft.. I know it is with MHADA but does it not make this a risky proposition especially in case you have to sell the flat for any reason. Recently learned that banks hesitate to give loans for short leasehold properties. My friend is having a tough time to sell his leasehold flat

Hi Ashish, He also said that challenging laws and taxation must go to help the developers, but finally that should also result in affordable housing stocks.

My advice would be to invest in a property in Thane East which is also fast catching up with other localities especially with Thane West. The prices of the flats are also competitive and reasonable and many flats come with many amenities offered by builders.

Well Rakshit, But rates quoted by builders are very-very high as one of my collegue booked in Naigaon 1 yr back at 3000/sq-ft. So, my suggestion all the buyers that try to negotiate or wait for prices to settle down from current label then invest in and around 3500/sq-ft with good reputed builder and project in high development stage or nearing completion.

Yeah.. Even i have heard about some complaints against the builder.. im not sure how much is right and valid so will suggest that you do a site visit and check the papers and relevant documents .. if possible seek a lawyers advise before investing.. The builder does have good reputation in the market but its always better to be safe than sorry..

Hi, New Panvel and Kharghar are better prospects for you, considering the built quality of establishments in Ulwe currently are below par without many reputed builders investing. residential properties are a safer bet compared to commercial properties, since the resale does not entirely depend upon the market conditions. Residential properties are generally brought by salaried executives on loans, commercial properties are generally brought by Business for setting up their businesses. Though commercial properties can get you a better rent, residential properties can ensure you a stable rent with a budget of 35 lakhs, panvel would be a better prospect in terms of ROI and appreciation.
Well Abhishke, Would it be possible for me to buy a decent 1BHK in panvel for Rs. 30 lacs as an investment where in Panvel should I buy it and what will the appreciation be in the next 3-5 years including stamp duty and everything.

Thanks Mr. Shantanu for responding to my query. Actually my query is related to ownership type of a property- Flat and not business in General. Specific doubt is about the leasehold type of ownership like in case of cidco flats where the agreement is for 66 yrs. I would like to know what happens when 66 yrs are over. This might happen for purchase of an old flat which has already completed say 15-20 yrs.
Well, After 66 years flat owners must renew the lease by paying a heavy premium to CIDCO. With the ownership resting with Cidco, it also means that flat owners can't go for redevelopment without the agency's permission and have to pay it for any paperwork involved therein.
9th September 2014
Similarly, If you are going to buy a leasehold property, a few points need to be kept in mind. Make sure that the ground rent has been paid up to date. Buying a leasehold property has a few disadvantages. You can’t take a loan on a leasehold property as you can in case of a freehold property.

Hi, Most of the banks offer loans to people who wish to buy a piece of plot to construct their dream home. Available to salaried and self-employed people and also to NRIs, land loans enable you to purchase a residential plot of land.

Yes Ashish, The rate of interest charged on a land loan is high with the rate charged on a home loan. Unlike home loans, you cannot claim income tax deductions on interest paid on land purchase loans. Whereas if you take a loan for construction on the site, you become eligible for tax break. Here you can claim tax benefits on both loan for land purchase and loan for house construction. Tax deductions will be applicable only in the year in which the construction is completed after submission of completion certificate from authorities concerned. So it is better take a loan for constructing house on it not for buying plot.Yes Ashish, The rate of interest charged on a land loan is high with the rate charged on a home loan.

My replies to this discussion
Hi, The maintenance charges are fixed at per sq-ft. rate, and thus vary depending upon the area of one flat. For example, if the maintenance is Rs 2/sq-ft for a 1000 sq-ft flat, monthly charge will be Rs 2000 as compared to Rs 3000 for a 1500 sq-ft flat. In most cases the per sq-ft charge is same and does not vary depending upon the size of the apartment.Hi, The maintenance charges are fixed at per sq-ft. rate, and thus vary depending upon the area of one flat.

It means that the maintenance charges are applicable from the date the possession letter is issued. Thus, irrespective of the fact whether you have occupied the property or not, you are liable to pay these charges. Thus, it is advised that you clear all your maintenance dues failing which the developer will put interest on the dues as well.

As far as investment is concerned Mira Road is a township located in North of Mumbai and is a part of Mumbai Metropolitan Region. It is governed by Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC). The locality offers easy connectivity to Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai. It offers smooth connectivity to business hubs such as Bandra Kurla Complex and Lower Parel via Western Express Highway. Localities in South Mumbai including Nariman Point are easily accessible from Mira Road via the Bandra-Worli sea link.
If you wanted to know about its connectivity i would like to say that offers excellent connectivity via highways, sea links and suburban railway. Mira-Bhayander belt enjoys easy accessibility from western suburbs through the Western Express Highway. Ghodbunder Road connects Mira Road to Thane and to Navi Mumbai via NH-4.

@Nikhil, If i am not wrong, due to sluggish housing sales in last few years, DLF has decided to raise private equity funds at project levels to boost cash flows, Private Equity fund will be the alternative for the cash flow which would have normally come from sales.

True Nikhil, Now, i understand that why DLF adopt DevCo. The company had a net debt of Rs 20965 crore as on March 31, 2015 of which about Rs 14000 crore refered to rental business and the rest was towards DevCo.
Hey Sharath, But don't forget that the DLF has posted 22% fall in combined net profit at Rs 171.62 crore in the 4th qtr of 2014-15 fiscal, as against Rs 219.68 crore in the year-ago period. But during the full 2014-15, net profit dropped by 16% to Rs 540.24 crore from Rs 646.21 crore in previous year.

Hi, Bangalore will be the least affected, in our view. NCR, too, will likely take a hit on account of the new regulations, but the impact should be lower than in Mumbai as project registration before launch is mandatory in Gurgaon and Noida.
You are right Bikram, Mumbai will be the market that will be the most affected as norm violations have been at a maximum in the city, with delays and customer issues being at an all-time high.

Hi Mr Rohan, As per my knowledge, you should check clause for late possession. It will be better to include clause in a tripartite agreement, buyer, builder & bank. One more thing you should check that ,the developer have tie-ups with banks for home loan. Because a state-owned bank on the developer's board means the project is safe.Hi Mr Rohan, As per my knowledge, you should check clause for late possession.

Otherwise, you can contact any broker of that area if there is any flats available for sale, they will give you the exact details.Hello Sir, As it is a ready to move project and not a single unit left for booking.

Apart from that if we talk about the connectivity, although far from the International Airport it is well connected by rail via the Western Line. Road connectivity is by the Western Express Highway on the East and SV Road and Link Road on the west. A Metro line, terminating at Charkop has been proposed which is expected to be completed soon. The BEST bus depot is close to the railway station. Apart from that if we talk about the connectivity, although far from the International Airport it is well connected by rail via the Western Line.

Ulwe is a quiet suburb in Navi Mumbai, which is witnessing a lot of buyer interest in recent times. The Panvel Creek separates it from the developed suburbs of Seawoods and Belapur. Over the last five years prices here have skyrocketed with an average annual appreciation ranging between 25-30%. The spurt and recognition of Ulwe as one of the fastest growing Mumbai suburbs, has come about because of both the inprogress and proposed infrastructure projects.Ulwe is a quiet suburb in Navi Mumbai, which is witnessing a lot of buyer interest in recent times.

Hi, When an individual passes away without making a proper will, the condition is known as intestate. The following situations can be termed as intestate: Absence of a formal will An individual, B, has been named as the executor of a will without proper divisions being mentioned about the assets. Only a fraction of the wealth has been distributed in a will, while the fate of the rest remains uncertain. One of the beneficiaries mentioned in the will passes away. The complication arises regarding the unclaimed share of the property.Hi, When an individual passes away without making a proper will, the condition is known as intestate.

Well Sashmita, I can only say that this investment comes at an exciting time for the online real estate sector in India, fueled by the Indian Governments goal of providing Housing for All by 2022. To achieve this, the Government is allocating a budget of Rs.4000 crore for affordable housing, introducing incentives for infrastructure financing by the RBI. It has lowered interest rates on home loans, established a framework for REITs and, most recently, relaxed FDI norms in the construction sector.Well Sashmita, I can only say that this investment comes at an exciting time for the online real estate sector in India, fueled by the Indian Governments goal of providing Housing for All by 2022.

It is no doubt that Mumbai has some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Rates have been plunge stable over the last few years, moving on to more accessible, central grassland of the city Worli and Lower Parel, Bandra-Kurla Complex, and Andheri. While most of these localities are challenging to invest in due to their sky-high cost, if one was to take expert opinion, this is perhaps the most rewarding space in the country.It is no doubt that Mumbai has some of the most expensive real estate in the country.

If one were to pick any locality in the city from about a decade ago, and compare the prices to what they are now, the figures would be nothing less than shocking. For example, an apartment in Beau Monde, new development in Prabhadevi, opened at a booking amount of just Rs. 7000/sq-ft in 2008. Today, the same apartment there would go for nothing under Rs. 65000/sq-ft.

Thinking of buying with Lodha group, think 1000 times before putting your hard earned money. They are biggest cheaters. Rakesh, Mumbai
Hi Daya, Did you get your flat possession? Are the common facilities shaping up well? By when do you see the whole project being handed over? I have an apartment in Riverscape by the way. Any updates on it?

Hi Rakesh, I want to ask you all, when you invest huge amount in buying properties, what do you see and ask to the builders. I am sure that nobody invest their hard earned money seeing the brochure. Why don't you ask for IOD and CC, Last payment receipt, verify the land documents with the local body?? in the beginning, if you take the advice of a legal expert then i don't think you have to face the current situation.

Exemption for long term capital gains:- The income tax department allows an exemption on investing capital gains. Tax exemption may be obtained by reinvesting capital gains in other capital assets within a specific period. The recent budget increased this period from 1-3 years. This means that you have 3 years to reinvest your capital gains into other assets without being taxed.Exemption for long term capital gains:- The income tax department allows an exemption on investing capital gains.

if the finance ministry raises the individual income tax exemption limit, it will have positive impact on long-term spending and saving patterns. More disposable income increases investment appetite, and property is the prime investment instrument of choice for every Indian.

In my point of view, this builder is providing excellent projects having world class, state-of-the-art facilities, Eco-friendly living and working spaces. Project completion strictly on schedule . 100% Guaranteed title& absolute value for money. A steely determination to delivery of homes within the scheduled time frame has created valuable trust and a firm confidence in customers.In my point of view, this builder is providing excellent projects having world class, state-of-the-art facilities, Eco-friendly living and working spaces.

Hi everybody, Now it seems to me that the affordable housing plan will work. As per the Maharashtra government will change rules and regulations to help in delivery of affordable housing projects for the millions of the state's poor. Making sure that the offered new housing policy would be "pro-people", Maharashtra CM Fadnavis told the developers to work together with the government in its mission to provide affordable housing for the lower-middle class and the poor people.Hi everybody, Now it seems to me that the affordable housing plan will work.

Hi Shanatanu & Lalit, At the same time Housing Minister Prakash Mehta recommended a decrease in FSI-TDR rates to make land available to developers in return for a specific percentage of free homes to the government, which could be sold at low prices to the poor classes. Through this, the govt could eliminate its Rs.350000 crore financial debt pressure got from the past program.
Right Praveen, As per the Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar, state government would also emphasis on developing infrastructure and the 3000 km long state highways would be developed as national highways. FM asked the developers community to join hands with the government in building a new Maharashtra.

A delay in giving possession can be due to various reasons such as pending municipal approvals or some dispute. Or if property prices are rising, the developer may deliberately not give possession in the hope of making buyers pay more even if the agreement has been signed at older rates. This will not reflect in the sale agreement. Delays can also happen if the developer is out of funds, or the bank is not ready to finance his project.A delay in giving possession can be due to various reasons such as pending municipal approvals or some dispute.

In case of delay of possession, you can claim a refund along with interest. You should first check if your builder is a part of The Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India (CREDAI) or something similar. They usually have a Code of Conduct by which they solve most disputes. If it doesnt work then you should go to the relevant Consumer Court.In case of delay of possession, you can claim a refund along with interest.

In delay possession, builder is liable to pay the interest can range between 9-18%. Also, the interest is payable only on the amount that be proven as paid to the developer. One can fight the case in a consumer court without hiring a lawyer, if the evidence is strong and can be proven.In delay possession, builder is liable to pay the interest can range between 9-18%.

Q: Do you know that recently, the Maharashtra Rent Control Bill 1999 passed with amendments by both the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council. It is targated to bring together the 3 different Rent Control Laws in operation in the State of Maharashtra.

My comments to replies
Hi everybody, What will be the rights and duties of the landlord? Is there any changes in leave and license agreement?
Hello Priyadarshini, According to the amended Maharashtra Rent Control Act 1999, the landlord shall be bound to keep the premises in good and tenantable repair. And most important, landlord should make sure that the leave licence agreement is registered.
21st May 2015
Under the amended law, a landlord shall be entitled to recover possession of any premises if the court is satisfied that the premises are reasonably and required bona fide by the landlord. The landlord can also recover possession of the premises if the tenant has, without the landlord's agreement given in writing, erected on the premises any permanent structure.

Hmm, we should not forget that country's economy and Mumbai's real estate market over the last two years are equally responsible and has brought the developers to focus less on project launches and more on completion of their earlier launched projects.

In 2010 the Supreme Court have passed a judgement on Car parking CANNOT BE Charged from the buyer. The cost for parking and other facilities has been included in the cost. The 2012 Mumbai High court order CANNOT SUPERSEDE THE SUPREME COURT ORDER . THE L&T Builder keeps using all sorts of charges to bring up the figure to 3.5 cro
Hi Ramji, Who is going to buy????? It is you, who is going to invest your hard earned money. You are as much needy as the developer.

Q: Congress corporator Bablu Shekhavat has requested chief minister Devendra Fadnavis to relax the condition of paying 50 crore as contribution by the civic body if it wishes to be included in the Smart City programme.
My comments to replies
Hi folks!!!! We all know that the government has recently identified 98 cities for the Smart City Project. But funding for these projects and its execution will be a major challenge for companies. There is no doubt that this mission is expected to improve the quality of life for citizens of these cities. For government, the focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and the idea is to look at intensive areas and create a exemplary model.
I agree with you Ram, but i think that it would be better if the govt's focus on smaller number of cities first and then developing them as model for others going forward. Under the mission, it will be operated as a centrally sponsored scheme and the center will give financial support to the limit of Rs 48000 crore over 5 yrs, which is on an average Rs 1000 crore per city per year. And an equal amount, on a matching basis, will have to be contributed by the state and urban local bodies.

It is because, MHADA and some other govt. agencies have a limit on construction of houses as it becomes financially not useful for them who are beyond a certain limit. Thereby, the govt. wants the participation of private builders to ensure affordable homes to a large number of people.It is because, MHADA and some other govt. agencies have a limit on construction of houses as it becomes financially not useful for them who are beyond a certain limit.

Yes, and a builder/developer who wants to construct a housing project on more than 4000 sq-mts of land has to surrender 20% of households from total flats to MHADA. And it is it mandatory for every private builders of Maharashtra to transfer a certain housing stock to Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority.

Personnel from both - the developer and India homes followed up for payments and the flat was booked in 100% white transaction (Flat E-101). Alas my hopes were dashed when I followed up back with both parties regarding progress status and the project till date has not even started as yet and the old society still stands as it is. To my surprise both Indiahomes and Saaga Infra Projects refused to let me know updated status just avoiding my calls or requests for a refund. The site office has since been closed and even the main office of the developer has shifted once. Mr. Uday Surve - a supposedly reputed name in the industry has refused to meet even once in my follow up for the last 2 years ans so has the staff from India Homes simply flashing 'Project Unavailable' - Status on their website. Any number of enquires for this project are not retured with calls / sms to their office. I feel swindled of my hard earned money and pity the cheap marketing techniques employed by Indiahomes without checking background information on the project which have left buyers like my without a shelter in Mumbai. I am thinking of initiating legal action / consumer court complaint against both Saaga Infra Projects & India homes for cheating and fraud. Hope this complaint gets noticed and long delayed feedback is given. kind regards

Q: MHADA has asked the government to restore the FSI for redevelopment of its colonies to 4from the current 3.

My comments to replies
Hi, Vice-president of MHADA, Sambhji Zende-Patil, told that he has proposed FSI 4 as proposals for redevelopment of Mhada colonies. But it has dropped badly after the change in policy. The BMC, in its draft Development Control Regulations, to be implemented with the new Development Plan, though on hold, has proposed FSI 5 for Mhada and FSI 8 for some private plots. He want that till the new DCR is implemented, the government allow FSI 4.
It's true Mani, Mhada has debated that with FSI 4 it will be able to provide 1.5 lakh flats in the affordable segment while with FSI 3, can construct only 47000 houses. The state government reduced FSI to 3 after it realized that in effect FSI actually raised to as much as 5.6 in 2013.
28th September 2015

@And the additional FSI will be used only by Mhada to create affordable housing for low income groups. As we all know that land is very limited in Mumbai and the only way it can be increased is through FSI. At the same time, there is a large demand for affordable housing. But not enough stock is created. His main intention is to serve to this part.
Earlier, government's decision to stop the policy had resulted in 250 proposals being stuck. To allow the utilization of FSI, Zende-Patil has proposed that in case it can not be used on the same plot, it should be allowed to be used on other buildings in the same ward. He has further told that in the case of plots that are less than 2000 sq-m, the society should be given the option of either paying MHADA or creating housing stock for it. In case of plots above 2000 sq-m, the option will be creating housing stock.

Yes, the present govt. is not in mood to delay the project. The center may fund only 10 cities, instead of the 20, in the first year, if the proposal don't match quality standard. December 15 is the cut-off date to be eligible for the Centre's funds. If states submit inadequate or incomplete area development plans to the urban development ministry by then, the number of cities to be picked up for the first round would be lower.Yes, the present govt. is not in mood to delay the project.

My comments to replies
Yes, it is true Visal. The minimum area require under a greenfield project is 250 acres and that for brownfield is 500. Any redevelopment has to be done on an area of more than 50 acres. Though the guidelines permit both plans in adjacent areas, the explanation still lacks clarity on it.
And the opportunities will lie in the cities that do not make it to the first list as everything will go back to the drawing board for them and that will be a real consideration of urban planning, as these states correct the situation after the first cut-off is over.

Ceear Realty, set up by Cherag Ramakrishnan, former chief executive of Essar Group's realty arm, Equinox Realty, has taken over one such project in the Bhandup area of Mumbai, which has a salable area of 100000 sq-ft. But the company was currently ignoring 3-4 such deals in Bengaluru and Mumbai.
Hi Anthony, And such opportunities have definitely increased in the 2nd half of this year. The stress of 2 yrs. is showing now and developers want to get lighter. Earlier, they were thinking, but there was mismatch in valuations. Now, the bridge is happening slowly and slowly.

Similarly, Pune-based ABIL Group bought into projects in Mumbai and also done 3 joint ventures in the recent past. Apart from the JV with DB Realty and Radius for Bandra Project, it has done JVs with Sumer Group in the Santacruz and Mazgaon areas of Mumbai.
@Pravakar, In the past 2 yrs, they have come across many such opportunities, where developers were not able to raise fund or do a JV with other developers. If the market does not improve, I think such opportunities will increase.

Q: I am buying a newly constructed flat in Naigaon East in Mumbai. To calculate the cost of the balcony area, the builder has given me a formulae which is as below: Cost of area = Area x 1.6 x 50% x Per sq.ft rate Can anyone please help me with this 1.6? I really can't understand this calculation. Thanks, Vinod

My replies to this discussion
Hi Vinod, This is the trick used by builders/developers, when they say you can find carpet area by applying loading factor on the saleable area. Suppose saleable Area= 1200 sq ft Loading Factor= 25% (or 1.25) Wrong Method (favours seller) Carpet Area= 1200 x (100-25)% = 1200 x 75% = 900 sq ft If you apply 1.25 or 25% loading, saleable area should be 900 sq ft + 900 x 25% = 1125 sq ft As you can see under this method builder is charging you for 1200 - 1125 = 75 sq-ft more Right Method (favours buyer)= Find carpet area first by measuring actual dimensions, and then apply loading factor Saleable area = 900 sq ft + 900 x 25% = 1125 sq-ftHi Vinod, This is the trick used by builders/developers, when they say you can find carpet area by applying loading factor on the saleable area.

Q: Do you think that simplified processes in real estate will lower holding costs for developers

My comments to replies
Hi Saran, I think it will take some more time. Price lowering in real estate in this level is more complex. An analysis of markets outside of Delhi and Mumbai brings to light that there is sufficient stock available at reasonably affordable rates. The expectation of prices correcting indeed is something that continues to be talked about.
Hi Sir, An analysis of investment opportunities today indicates that there are not many large scale projects that show returns of this volume and unless one factors in rising prices, the investment does not make sense.

Check, whether they have got the IOD and Commencement Certificate. If they got the Commencement certificate, then there is no issue with the construction work. Apart from that there are multiple documents one should ask before buying properties in Mumbai. These are:- sale deed, original agreement of the property owner, previous sale deed in case of resale, society share certificate, utility bills such as electric, telephone, survey/measurements of the actual apartments, NOC for sale of the property from the society. This normally indicates that the apartment is free from any liabilities, BMMC approved approved architect plan, commencement certificate, IOD, Builders NOC, original land details, redevelopment agreement between the Society and the Developer, public notice in the newspaper, title note etc.Check, whether they have got the IOD and Commencement Certificate.

As far as locality is concerned, Dahisar is the sparkling spot in Mumbai that offers simplified living and includes good infrastructure, amenities and connectivity support. There are many attractive residential options available in the area for all types of home-buyers, i.e. including affordable, affordable luxury and the luxury segment. Dahisar has been offering huge options for affordable housing for thousands of end users. As it is very well connected to Thane as well as Mumbai via the Western Expressway, a lot of the working class people find this locality comfortable to live in.
I agree with you Praveen, Experts point out that Dahisar is a well-planned locality. The area has some well-known educational institutions like St Francis D'Assisi High School, Rustomjee International School, St. Francis Institute of l. It has some very good hospitals such as Silverline Hospital, Shantigan Hospital, Chamunda Hospital, Sukh Sagar Hospital. The property prices over the last few years have shoot up and new development is in the affordable luxury segment of housing.
9th March 2016

Hi folks, As per the experts view, long-term price growth for Dahisar has been in line with the general market trend and there has been a considerable growth in capital values. However, the entire growth has not been only because of the demand factor, a supply-side price increase has also contributed to this increment.
Hi Rishi, No one can predict in real estate. Before any investment, you need to look at the current market trend of the current ready possesion rates, analyse the figures, forecast the price trends in the next 2 years and then short list properties worth investing. Dahisar is a Good option however Mira Road will be better compared to the Rates and faster appreciation.

My comments to replies
HI, Ask the seller of the property for the following documents:- 1) ask seller to produce original agreement with builder, 2) issue of share certificate by society, 3)building completion certificate or OC issued by BMC, 4) NOC from society for sale of flat, 5) no dues certificate issued by society etc. But it will be better if you can get the opinion of the advocate and proceed further.
But remember the original sales deed and the Society share certificate are most important, since the transaction cannot proceed without them. Also, the buyer should bear in mind that in the case of a resale property, proper transfer and re-registration is necessary. A letter from the society is also necessary that reflects details such as the number of floors in the building, the construction year, the apartment's built-up area and the number of lifts in the building.

Hello Priya, Due to the development of GIFT City, there is a good realty growth in the proximity of the region, though there is no development within the region yet. It may take about 2-3 yrs for residential projects to come up within the region. You can find a good number of apartments, plots and independent houses here. The most common configurations are 1/2/3 BHK units. There are a few higher configuration units are also available.
I don't know that BHK availability in the localities but i can give you the locality overview. Gift City at Gandhi Nagar in Gujarat is a Global Financial Service Hub which has Banking, Insurance, Corporate Park, Stock Exchange, Shopping Malls, Service Units, Entertainment Zone, Star Hotels, A Convention Center, International Education Zone, Integrated Township etc. Residential Apartments available in it is not for outsiders or for common people those who has commercial units in or the employee working in it can book their apartments or villas in it.

Right Jack, Investors and buyers have to know the procedure as to how to buy a property in Gujarat's Gift City. At most of these locations, either the resources are insufficient or they are sufficient but very expensive. Due to this reason, economy of India has to suffer directly or indirectly. As a solution to this problem PM Narendra Modi, design a plan to construct a whole new city with high quality facilities including, water, electricity, telecom, gas, roads, and broadband. The main purpose of this project is to encourage the firms to relocate here, increase employment rate, raise foreign reserve and boost international trade & commerce.

Now, as per the rules, local bodies will have to utilize 10-20% of material from construction and debris waste in municipal and government contracts for construction. All cities will have to set up facilities in a phased manner. All large generators of waste will have to pay charges for transportation, collection, processing and disposal. They will be responsible for segregating construction and demolition waste before disposal.

Hi, I am looking to buy a property for investment purposes. Is the appreciation value good?
Hi Neil Jogeshwari East is one of the popular zones in the Western Suburbs of Mumbai. It is developed as both residential as well as commercial locality. It is a new intense Business District Centre with many MNCs shifting bases after saturation from the Nariman Point and the BKC. It has close proximity to the Linking Road, Western Rail Line along with domestic and international airport makes it an ideal place to reside. The proposed Metro Rail (Bandra - Charkop sector) and the New Oshiwara Suburban Railway Station would further enhance the connectivity. In my view, it is a good place to reside. Property prices have also increased rapidly in this location in the last few years. So, it will give you a good returns in 5-7 yrs of investing period.

My comments to replies
Hi Betty, I think you should go with Immenza Kalpataru or Rustomjee Urbania. Don't go with any prominent builders because all of their projects are delayed by 2-3 years. Both the builders are good and have a good track record of on time delivery of possession.
Yes, kalpataru Immensain Kholset Road is offering 1/2/3 BHK flats. Sizes are available 680 sq-ft. in 1BHK, 896 - 1224 sq.ft in 2BHK and 1434 - 2032 sq.ft. in 3BHK and its current rate per square feet will be Rs.8000/sq-ft. This project is under construction and ready-to-move by December 2019. Whereas, Rustomjee Urbania is located in Majiwada, Thane West,BHK flats. Sizes are 1135 - 1209 sq.ft in 2BHK and 1505 - 1735 sq.ft. in 3BHK. It's per square feet rate will be Rs.11540/sq-ft. and possession by February-2018. It is a luxurious project and price are high but you can get good deal as most of the builders are negotiating in the current rate.

Q: One of the worst designs of the apartment noted till now. I visited Platinum Heritage over one of the weekends as I was really interested to invest in their project Tower 1 Building. To my surprise I noted some serious design flaws in the flats. Noted below are some of them out of many There is no provision you can install ACs in the flat no matter whatsoever because of balcony designs. Strangely I was pampered by their sales team that our flats are AC ready!!! Imagine staying in a luxurious flat, but not possible to install an AC due to lack of any open area to place the outdoor AC unit. This definitely brings down their property valuation. Secondly I noted that their bathroom fittings are placed at some of the most pathetic positions. Towel hanger is just below the Shower !! Imagine your towel also takes a bathe along with you!!! Geyser electric socket is 1 meter away from the place where the geyser is fitted !! No geyser comes with a 1 Meter long wire. They have forgotten to keep water drain outlet pipe for washing machine in the dry area !!! Hence Washing machines cannot be operated in the flats of Platinum Heritage. Imagine a Mumbai apartment with no provision to operate even a washing machine. Sales team tried to impress me that Kitchen is going to be fully furnished with Modular fittings including state of the art Kitchen Chimney. However during my visit, I overheard a group of existing buyers busy discussing that builder is not fulfilling the commitments such as Kitchen Chimney, Shower Cubicles, Vanity boxes in bathroom. Moreover the sales team says that all flats are sold. Sales team is just exaggerating the fact. The real picture I got to know from some of existing owners is not even 40% flats sold and builder (Soham Group) is struggling with financial problems due to its strained partnership with its business partner (JVM Spaces). Good that I did not purchase the flat. Save from a big nightmare!!!
My comments to replies
Thanks Rohit......for your eye opening reviews. It will definitely help a lot of new customers who are planning to book their unit in JVM Platinum Heritage, Hiranandani Estate, Thane. A new buyer does not ask for all these things or care for those small-2 mistakes and stuck with their hard earned money for long time.
Yes, i am agree with Lalit. Every home buyers should first visit the project site before making any deal in real estate. This market is full of fake and liers. So, visit the site, check the construction status, material used in construction, electricity fitting, bathroom fitting, floor tiles fitting, kitchen fitting, open space, AC fitting etc. and then calculate the rate.

As far as my knowledge is concerned, buyers of under construction properties are unlikely to be burdened with additional tax burden on account of GST roll out. But final impact on property prices will differ from one state to another. Since VAT is a state tax, the exact effect of its replacement with GST will differ across the country.As far as my knowledge is concerned, buyers of under construction properties are unlikely to be burdened with additional tax burden on account of GST roll out.

I am agree with you Praveen. The actual GST rate on under-construction properties is 18 per cent. However, the effective tax on such properties would be 12 per cent as under the new regime developers will be allowed input tax credits.I am agree with you Praveen.

Hi, What is mentioned in your agreement? If it is mentioned Rs.54 lakhs then you have to pay according to your agreement. And secondly, builder has submitted all the required or supportive documents for registering under RERA. So, you do not need to worry. They will only charge the amount which they have mentioned in RERA registration approval.Hi, What is mentioned in your agreement?

Hello Makarand, If the delay has been caused by the builder and he is unable to justify his delay cause that is deemed appropriate by the court, you can expect to receive a compensation of up to 10% of the property value.Hello Makarand, If the delay has been caused by the builder and he is unable to justify his delay cause that is deemed appropriate by the court, you can expect to receive a compensation of up to 10% of the property value.

Q: I purchased a under construction property in Oct. 2018 from a reputed builder and had it registered in the first week of December. As per my discussions with the builder I was supposed to avail loan for the next phase of disbursement in the 2nd week of Jan, for which I had received a sanction in November. By late Dec. I had got paid around Rs 25k for franking and other loan related charges and luckily I was able to negotiate a favorable interest rate on my loan. A few days before the disbursement I was informed by the bank that the builder has not submitted the ROC and they cant proceed ahead. Following which I promptly informed the builders team about the issue and they agreed that the issue is from there end which they will resolve in a few days and also waive off the interest that the builder would have otherwise charged for delay in payment of the disbursement. The builder also assured me that this is normal so I should not worry. However, after around a month of my initial raising of the issue, the issue was not solved and was informed by the builders team that the issue from there end will take another 20 working days which means somewhere in March. The problem is my loan sanction ends in Feb and my banker has informed me that I will have to re do the entire loan sanction process if disbursement is not done in Feb. This means I will end up paying again 1) Processing fees 2) Loan documentation charges such as franking etc 3) Higher interest since the bank will not offer me the discounted interest once again (Please note here I am talking about the difference in spread over the reference rate, which means I am losing out significant amount in EMI all things considered). I have already notified the builder through email and asked them to either complete documentation before my end of the sanction or pay for all the above mentioned three costs since the delay is entirely from his end. Am I justified in my demand and what recourse can I take to ensure that I dont end up paying a significant amount in re sanctioning the loan again and higher interest rates for no fault of mine which the builder has also accepted? Should send a legal notice to the builder?

In this case, you can take legal action. Consult a good property lawyer or, you can also file a suit in the consumer forum. You can also make a complain with MAHA RERA as this project is under-construction and have RERA registration number. Now, RERA has become more active platform for buyers and take instant action.In this case, you can take legal action.

More prominently from a housing real estate viewpoint, it is an ideal home base for InfoTech workforce from the Magarpatta, Kharadi and Kalyani Nagar IT hubs, which are within quick driving distance. Land availability for new constructions is still fairly good, portending a lot of future development potential. The combination of these factors clearly places Keshav Nagar on the map of Pune property investment hot-spots
For prospective buyers, Keshav Nagar has a range of choices when it comes to properties. From residential plots to independent houses, villas and builder floor apartments, the locality has it all. If you are planning on an investment, Keshav Nagar could be a promising destination for two reasons. One is the possible inclusion of the region within the Pune Metropolitan City limits, which could mean a lot of amenities that local residents here did not have access to previously. Second, infrastructure developments that would cut down the distance between Keshav Nagar and some of the most active job markets.

Hello Arijit, I would personally suggest you to visit the project site and consult the owners of the society. You can also discuss with the neighbour regarding the society issues. At present, there is no issue in this society. You can also ask about the society to the nearby shopkeepers as well.Hello Arijit, I would personally suggest you to visit the project site and consult the owners of the society.
