Q: Hi all.. I heard that Chhattisgarh govt. has provided some special privilege to women property buyers in the state. Anybody knows the details of it..

My replies to this discussion
It is a really good initiative of Chhattisgarh government. I appreciate whoever has given the idea. Usually very few men are ready to buy property in the name of their wives, mothers or daughters. But this simple idea has created wonders.. above 40,00 properties getting registered in women names is really a good result. I am sure the number would have increased by now.

Q: How is real estate in Mumbai to invest in?

My replies to this discussion
Developers from small cities are eying on the real estate sector of Mumbai. Mumbai real estate has been rising in recent times, though it is known as one of the toughest property markets owing to difficult building regulations, shortage of land and high prices. Builders from Kolkata, Pune and Bangalore are entering into Mumbai real estate thinking that they can also gain high profit margins if the state government clarifies the development control regulations (DCR) for Mumbai.Developers from small cities are eying on the real estate sector of Mumbai.

According to the rules, the Builder is considered a dealer in the under-construction project as he buys material from a supplier and after using them in process, sells his goods i.e. the flat to the buyer. With tax payable on the material bought, the Builder can claim set-off for the tax already paid while making the purchase.

Right Sankalp, There is no doubt about the locality's tremendous growth. One may buy an apartment in the area at a affordable price as the property values here are in the range of Rs 4500-6500/sq-ft. The residence rates in the place have been seeing a upward trend over the last 3 years. The locality experienced nearly 60 % appreciation in property prices over three years, and is growing, thanks to the upcoming international airport.

Q: Dear All,I am planning to buy a 2BHK in Clarion. Basically I was looking for some 2BHK in Kandivali (E) and the broker took me and shown the site.He was all gang-hoo about the project and said that he has a investor flat at good rate with good appreciation in future. He also mentioned that work was stopped but now it is in full swing. But thanks to the reviews by all the users in this forum, I want to be doubly sure before taking a plunge.So just like to know1) Is it a good time to invest. I am ready to wait for some time but just dont want to be stuck in the same indefinitely in hope of good returns.2) Was CC for higher floors the only issue or there are some other issues. CC issue could be (or might have been resolved) after the BMC approval but if there are some internal issues (like as mentioned cash crunch, land title) that they are very difficult to resolve and could stop the project for a long time.Thanks in advance

Oh really, how? I think this is necessary increment. Mr. Finance Minister had already described on it during budget speech. Actually we have a problem, on one side we want our economy growth @ 8% and on the other side we don't want to contribute more. Rs.1.64 more is acceptable, to boost our economy.

Q: I was staying at Kumar primavera B2,I had left the flat in april- 13. - Just near the main gate is a big dumpyard where there are lot of pigs, It can be seen any time of the day. - In all the kitchen sinks there is only one water connection(drinking water) where water is available only for 3 hrs morning 7-10. rest of the day you have to manually fill water from the bathroom and use it for kitchen. - There is no corporation water in the society, it is filled through tankers. This water is contaminated and most of the times oil has been seen floating on it. - Mosquitoes is a big problem due to river aside and there is no step taken to clean the surroundings. I've not seen any corporation vehicle which spreads the chemicals for killing mosquitoes. The cases of dengue and malaria are very common here. - If you want to go for public transport you have to walk long way, even auto stand is at a distance of one and half KM's.

The stretch which consists of Airoli, Ghansoli and Koparkhairane, are the nodes out of the 14 that CIDCO carved as small townships in Navi Mumbai, with a view towards facilitating comprehensive development. As per experts, the main reason for residential demand in this stretch is due to the availability of properties at affordable rates compared to Mumbai.. This stretch offers 1, 2 and 3-BHKs in the range of Rs 6,000-12,000 per sq ft, whereas in Mumbai, buying a property at this cost is not viable..

@Girishma... 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 redressa

Q: Is it a smart idea to invest in Mumbai western stretch?
My comments to replies
What are the parameters to watch while purchasing property in the western stretch?
While more people plan to buy properties in these localities, there are certain factors that should be taken into consideration in these locations. 1) Buyers need to make sure that the necessary approvals and permissions for converting the land as residential plots are obtained from the developer. They also need to look for any pending approvals. 2) BMC issues certificates such as Commencement Certificate (CC) and Intimation of Disapproval (IOD) in regards with construction of buildings. A project must have both certificates. 3) Area terminologies such as carpet area, saleable area, etc are important parameters a buyer should be aware of. Loading factor is an important parameter a buyer needs to remember. A lower loading factor is always good for the buyer.
15th August 2013
Continued4) Buyers must obtain minute details of various promised features. They must also look for penalties for non-performance. Approved construction plans are available and must be displayed by the builders on the construction site at all times. 5) Buyers need to understand the various elements involved in maintenance charges. They should also understand the responsibility of the builder while paying recurring maintenance charges.

Of the total 20 km between Jacob Circle and Chembur via Wadala, only the 9.8 km stretch between Chembur and Wadala will be operational this year. The remaining stretch will be completed only by the end of next year owing to delays in the construction. The delays occurred due to uncertainties in the traffic dispersal system as well as permissions and acquisitions, and hurdle of underground utilities

Q: Will the home buyers be charged extra for parking space?

My replies to this discussion
The Supreme Court had passed a judgment in August 2010 saying that a developer cannot sell an open space or parking space as it was a part of the society common area. Upholding this judgment, the consumer forum said that the developer could not charge any amount for use or sale of parking space.

While this verdict is welcome by most prospective buyers, there are counter arguments for this verdict. Here is a critical look about the pros and cons of this verdict.The Supreme Court had passed a judgment in August 2010 saying that a developer cannot sell an open space or parking space as it was a part of the society common area.

While this verdict is welcome by most prospective buyers, there are counter arguments for this verdict. Here is a critical look about the pros and cons of this verdict.
My comments to replies
The verdict is encouraging as it makes sense from a legal and economic point of view. 1) When a developer sells a flat to a buyer, the charges for the flat not only includes the carpet area (the buyers private area), but also for the common spaces and support structures such as staircases, lifts, corridors, sewage disposal system, parking spaces and so on. In fact, many states have regulations that require adequate parking spaces. Builders incorporate these costs into the market price of the flats they sell. Hence, it becomes illegal to charge extra for parking space or any of the common amenities. 2) Allowing developers to charge extra for parking space is also bad economics, especially during times when demand for parking increases multifold in a very short span of time. This is because, with limited parking space, the developer has no incentive to maximize supply of parking slots. With that, the developer can withhold supply of parking slots and charge maximum prices for each parking
While this may sound a fair deal, many argue that the verdict does not take into account the ground realities. Some of the counter arguments for the verdict are: The number of cars in India are constantly increasing. With this trend, paying for parking ought to become normal. This is also the only way of dithering people from buying more cars while encouraging them to use public transport. It however needs to be understood that the public infrastructure and transport services must be improved and can happen only if more people use those options and demand better services. Big metros such as Mumbai and Delhi have parking space constraint. It is in this scenario where 'pay for parking' becomes relevant. Developers of residential properties receive almost no support from municipal authorities. Most of the residential projects are self-sustained units with provisions for water supply, electricity and parking spaces. It is only fair that developers are allowed to charge for parking spac

Q: What is the status of the metro projects in Mumbai Metropolitan Region?

My comments to replies
The metro projects in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) seem to be making a progress amidst certain delays. While the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has invited bids for its underground metro line between Colaba and SEEPZ in Mumbai, the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) in Navi Mumbai, is planning to extend its Belapur-Taloja line to Kalyan. Both lines are intended to improve connectivity in MMR.
MMRDA has invited bids for prequalification for constructing the third metro line between Colaba and SEEPZ via Bandra. This is the third line in phase 1 of the Mumbai metro rail project. MMRDA plans to start construction of this line from May next year. This will be Mumbai's first underground corridor as well as the city's one of the most expensive infrastructure projects. The metro line will be 33.5 km long with 26 underground stations. The cost of the project is estimated to be approximately Rs. 23,130 crore.

CIDCO is planning to extend the Belapur-Kharghar-Taloja line. Will it improve the connectivity?
Yeah definitely the extended Belapur-Kharghar-Taloja line to Kalyan to improve connectivity between Navi Mumbai and Thane. It is a mega project which is intended to improve the economic development of Kalyan and adjoining areas of Ulhas Nagar and Dombivli. Kalyan is a strategic railway junction as it is connected to important cities across the country. Navi Mumbai houses important government organizations such as CIDCO, Reserve Bank and the SCC Board.

Q: Which are the private equity firms that was affected by the fall in rupee value?

My comments to replies
Both the companies were working together on the structured finance deal since January. Morgan Stanley was looking at investing $200 million in one of the projects from Wadhwa Group in Bandra Kurla Complex. The project was a commercial project and was called ONE BKC. The deal was almost signed when the rupee started falling.
As the rupee started falling, the returns that were calculated during early negotiations between the two groups started diminishing even before the deal was concluded. With the depreciating rupee, it would be difficult to hedge the entire project as the hedging costs would be too high. Wadhwa Group confirmed that the deal with Morgan Stanley was now off. The realty developer is now looking for other options to raise funds to complete the already under-construction project. It is looking at raising a domestic debt of over Rs. 1,100 crore and has approached Standard Chartered Bank. Fund raising is expected to conclude by October this year.

Q: What is the reason that Maharashtra Government scraping Bandra PWD Colony Redevelopment? Please update
My comments to replies
There are different reasons why the redevelopment plan is being scrapped. Firstly, the state was supposed to receive Rs. 1,000 crore from the three realty firms. However, it has received just Rs. 146 crore from Kakade yet. The three firms had asked for extension of 3-4 months when asked to pay up the dues owing to the tight financial situation.
The present state government intended to repair the buildings instead of a an entire redevelopment. It recently sanctioned about Rs. 50 crore for repairing the buildings of the colony occupied by the officers and their families. With a substantial amount sanctioned for repairs, scrapping the redevelopment project just needs to be made official.
16th October 2013

I heard that redevelopment of the PWD colony was shrouded in controversy since the day it was awarded to the developers. It is believed that less than a dozen developers were shortlisted for the project. The redevelopment then halted when two top executives of D B Realty were arrested in the 2G scam in 2011. Meanwhile the current Maharashtra chief minister had reviewed the entire project back in 2010 and had suggested scrapping the project. However, the public works minister didn't take any action on the files for two years. The current public works (PW) minister is the centrepoint of this redevelopment controversy.
I have no idea about the controversial plan.The PWD colony in Bandra (East) is spread over a 100 acre land. This is the biggest single piece of land available for development in Mumbai's western suburbs. The colony was built between 1958 and 1968 and has almost 5,000 flats in ground-plus-three storied buildings. Decision to redevelop the colony was taken up in 2010 by the then ruling government in Maharashtra. The project was awarded to three developers D B Realty, Kakade Infrastructure and Hubtown (then Ackruti City) in July 2010. D B realty was to redevelop 57 acres and the remaining area was to be developed by the other two firms. The project cost was an estimated Rs. 10,000 crore.

Q: How is the demand for 1 BHK apartments in Mumbai? Which is the best place for 1BHK in Mumbai?

My comments to replies
The demand for 1 BHK properties in Mumbai is continuously increasing. Present trend shows that nearly 65% of prospective home buyers in Mumbai are looking for 1 BHK apartments as compared to 2 and 3 BHK apartments. Due to high property costs within the city of Mumbai, people are slowly moving to suburbs to find affordable housing. As such, localities in Thane may be the best choice at present.
Areas in Thane such as Badlapur, Ghodbunder Road, Kalyan West and Dombivali East account for about 37% of the total supply of 1 BHK properties in Thane. There are several reasons why these localities are seeing huge demand for 1 BHK units. The first reason is that people with smaller budget generally look for smaller units. Several localities in Thane have smaller units. Also, people who are unable to buy a property within Mumbai are forced to opt for a property in nearby suburbs
21st October 2013
Thane is very well connected to Mumbai via three important highways viz. Eastern Express Highway, NH-3 and NH-4. It has excellent infrastructure, open spaces and large layouts. Several localities in Thane have very good amenities. An added advantage in localities such as Badlapur or Dombivali is the lower capital value compared to several suburbs in Mumbai. All these factors have led to a growth in demand for 1 BHK units in Thane.

My comments to replies
I am planning to buy a 2 bedroom apartment for investment purpose. How is Goregaon East for investment purpose?
Goregaon sees a high demand for multistorey apartments than residential properties. While there is a good demand for 1,3 and 4 BHK properties, the demand is high for 2 BHK properties. While Goregaon (west) has seen a steady increase in property prices in the last quarter, the eastern zone has seen a minor slump in prices when it comes to apartments.

Q: Neel Sidhi Amarante is yet to get electricity connection from MSEB. It's been heard that MSEB doesn't have sufficient infrastructure(Feeder transformers & lines) to feed approx. 1000 flats in this project. So any idea, what's the status of electricity connection issue?

Hello Rathin, I think you are talking about Phase I.

Hi everyone, Many new building projects proposed in Mumbai have been stuck over the past three months. Mumbai’s municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte has been rejecting all these projects as the buildings proposed do not meet the specifications of open space ordered by a recent Supreme Court ruling.
@Vinay, The court held that developers would have to mandatorily set aside at least 15-25% of the plot size at the ground level towards open recreational spaces. At present, many buildings have been creating recreational spaces at the podium level, instead of providing all of it on the ground level.
9th September 2014
It is true but Mumbai's open spaces that includes parks, playing fields and recreation grounds for only 1.95 sq-mtr space per capita. This number is grossly below the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization standard of 9 sq-mtrs per capita and significantly less than other Indian cities too. As per the report Delhi and Bangalore offer 15 and 6.4 sq mtrs public open space per capita respectively.

Mr Kishore, Nice to hear that you are planning to invest in a property. For your kind information areas coming beyond Thane comes under TMC. You can look for a property in Badlapur as this area is slowly developing in terms of real estate, civic amenities and connectivity. Many flats are also coming up in Badlapur with reasonable rates with good amenities. In my opinion you can invest in a property in Titwala but it will take some years to develop as the locality is still not fully developed.Mr Kishore, Nice to hear that you are planning to invest in a property.

Initially you can book the flat in your name but at a later stage you can transfer in her name by mentioning in a will.

Hello Praveen, Yes you can also look out for investing in a property in Ulwe too as the place is near to Navi Mumbai and is gradually developing both residentially and commercially. The locality comes under CIDCO and is most preferred location to live after Vashi as it has attracted many buyers as well as builders. Factors like proposed International Airport and Metro connectivity have left a strong impact on the land rates in Ulwe in recent times. According to me Ulwe seems to be an ideal place to invest in a property taking into consideration all the factors.
Yeah Ravi I totally agree with you in this aspect. Since Ulwe is just 6 miles from Panvel and close proximity from Kharghar and Vashi it is turning out to be one of the fastest emerging locality in this part of the Mumbai city. With good connectivity by road , rail and sea, Ulwe definitely has more scope for property appreciation in coming years.

The area Vartak Nagar is old settlement of MIG & LIG folks for past say 35-40 yrs - the social infra is quite good and location is strategic too. You need to be careful while investing in MHADA re-development properties as it takes anything from 18 months to 36 months for the construction to commence and later if the builder is not financially able then the project gets slowed down.

Hi Sankalp, Glad to note that Mumbai is getting a better upliftment in case of infrastructure. Read recently in newspaper that they are also going to commence the metro rail operation from Andheri to Ghatkopar in March. This will be a huge bonus to the people travelling between Andheri and Ghatkopar as it will reduce the travel time to a great extent.
Yeah very much true Mr Deepankar!!!. Presently i am staying in Ghatkopar and my workplace is in Andheri. If I take the train, I have to go to Ghatkopar station get down at Dadar and take another train from Dadar to reach Andheri. Also most of the time Mumbai locals are over crowded. If I take the bus from Ghatkopar, it takes approx 1 hour to reach Andheri. The functioning of metro will make my life more comfortable and easier. Finally the tag saying " The CITI THAT NEVER SLEEPS". Proud to be a MUMBAIKAR.

Hello Ashish, Since you have mentioned that you have purchased a 1 BHK flat in DB Orchid Ozone, are you talking about the property tax to be paid. Since you are the owner of the flat in DB Orchid Ozone, you need to pay an amount every year as property tax to the revenue department. You can do so by calculating the area of the flat with the tax slab rate and pay accordingly.Hello Ashish, Since you have mentioned that you have purchased a 1 BHK flat in DB Orchid Ozone, are you talking about the property tax to be paid.

Hi, Heard that all banks offer fixed as well as floating rates of interest. I think floating rate is the best one that you should go for. But if you are looking at longer tenure then fixed rate option may be worth looking at. Also there are banks who offer 100% loan amount, provided you can show them that you have the capacity to repay. But do remember there is stamp duty, registration and other charges that will work out to approx 10% of the cost of the property.Hi, Heard that all banks offer fixed as well as floating rates of interest.

My comments to replies
Hello Kishore, Yes indeed Ulwe is a good property destination. Since localities like Vashi, Kamothe, Kharghar, Seawoods and Sanpada getting exhausted. These localities have very limited land parcels that is available for development. Thus Ulwe is next big option as there are significant land available for development. Hence this locality will definitely see a rise in demand for property prices in coming years.
Hey Suresh, Heard that the property prices are steadily increasing by 25-30% in last 5 years. Real estate experts have predicted that Ulwe is going to be a major real estate destination and a successful planned city in another 5-6 years time. Above that Reliance is also owning 4300 acres of land in Ulwe and most of the land will be used for residential development. Reliance is also planning to develop the land into international township with good no of schools, hospitals, and other various social amenities.

Q: Hi, Want to know how many blocks and floors are there in this project, since I am thinking of booking a flat in this project.

My comments to replies
Hey All, Has the booking started for this project. If yes then which banks have approved for home loans? Is it worth investing in this project? Is the connectivity good from this place.
Hello Ramesh, Yeah the booking has already been commenced for this project. Came to know that several leading banks like HDFC, ICICI,PNB, Axis bank have approved the project as far the loan is concerned. It is a good project to invest in Virar east. Since the locality is gradually developing, investing in this property is not a bad idea at all. Being close to Virar station which is approx 2-2.5 kms and Western Express Highway at close vicinity, the connectivity is excellent.

Q: Hi, Good news for the the residents of Mumbai, your wait for Metro rail come to an end.
My comments to replies
Hi all, Row over fares for the Mumbai Metro project between the Maharashtra government and Reliance Infrastructure . MMRDA has already approached the Bombay High Court on Monday asking it to hear its plea against the fare hike by Reliance Infrastructure for the Mumbai Metro
Yep, you are right..... The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority is understood to be define the costs incurred by Reliance Infrastructure to understand how exactly the operating costs have risen. Why are they not hire any independent organization to set up the price?
10th June 2014
@kishore, The MMRDA's conclusions will assume significance role as Reliance-Infra told that the fares have been fixed under slabs of Rs 10/20/30/40, primarily because of a sharp increase in the operating costs.

Q: According to one of my friends in Lodha, the residents of Palava city experienced firsthand that there is nothing that comes close to the pleasure of a day spent indulging in organic gardening. The Urban Farming Club at Palava city began with an opening workshop with a focus on “Introduction to Organic Farming”. This took place at the Lawns of Lodha World School at Palava city on 24th May. I heard that it was quite insightful and interesting. Would look forward to participating in one next time.

Q: As a follow up to the workshops on Urban Farming conducted at Palava World City, the budding gardeners voted for the best plants from the Group. Ajay Choudhary of Regalia, Casa Bella, Palava City won the best gardener award for his homegrown vegetables ladies fingers and chilies. He won an advanced organic farming workshop course with leading organic farming group ‘Green Souls’. Ajay has this to say about how the workshops not only helped his family grow plants but also bond better: “I feel delighted after winning. My children and I have nurtured and grown these plants together and winning a prize has boosted our interest in this topic. Nowadays most families tend to stay at home and watch television or play games and don’t go out & enjoy outdoors as we used to when we were kids. Initiatives like the Palava Urban Farming Club is a great way to explore new things to do and it also a great way to connect and socialize with the community. We really appreciate the initiative.

My comments to replies
Hi, There are some major benefit of urban farming is that it can add greenery to cities, reducing harmful runoff, increasing shading, and countering the unpleasant heat island effect. Garden plots can help people reconnect with the Earth, and gain a greater appreciation for where our food comes from
@Sree, Even the numerous studies have shown that urban agriculture can contribute to social, health, economic, and ecological benefits. However, very little of that works focuses specifically on develops measures that can demonstrate benefits at a neighborhood as well as a citywide scale.

Q: "Smart Cities to be a reality in India" Its features may appear somewhat futuristic, but are likely to become a reality in India in less than a decade, as the smart city concept takes hold. The first-of-its-kind partially completed smart city project in Mumbai, expected to be completed in 2025, is by the Lodha Group.

My comments to replies
Hi, As our Prime Minister Narendra is desired to improve India's urban appearance with the construction of 100 smart cities with high-tech, interlinking communications capabilities across the country. In the past cities were built on riverbanks. Now they are building along highways. But in future they will be based on optical fiber networks and next generation infrastructure as per our PM's speech last month.
Hi Ramesk, As per our PM the creation of infrastructure and more specifically new cities is the prime solution to India's fast urbanizing population doubt. If country has to generate employment and change for the betterment of the country, we must plan to build 100 smart cities.

Q: hi did himgiri greens get all the necessary permission from cidco for development of land . is the title clear.? should I pay the booking amount they are asking full 20%. m worried as it's still not started construction n ll start in November . should I go for it?? pls advice.

My comments to replies
Hi, It is important to have your agreement checked by a lawyer or a knowledgeable person, so that the builder does not include clauses that are to his advantage and your disadvantage. If it contains any such unacceptable clauses, please have them struck out or suitably modified before you sign the agreement. Do not make any payments unless this is done.
Not only this if you do not have the time to go through the legalese, we take you through the key points you must consider while booking a property. Read the document in detail, Tentative plans, inspection check, ownership mode, earnest money, cancellation of project, preferential location, super area, reserved parking, cost escalation, timely payments, no liability, force majeure, delayed possession, restricted freedom, additional charges etc.

HI all, I wanted to know the term CC and FSI? Your reply will be highly appreciable.
Hello Ramesh, The term FSI stands for Floor Space Index. It is a ratio indicating the built up area of a property to the total plot area available. CC means Completion Certificate or Commencement Certificate. A completion certificate is given to a builder only after the work is complete and is according to the Building Regulations. A commencement certificate on the other hand is issued by the authority certifying that the construction can commence. It is given only after the builder has obtained all the required sanctions.

Apart from that ask when is the project getting completed and which month is the handover of property ? How will they Charge till then because this will attract PRE-EMI this is an extra charge and not same as EMI. Get dates in written and terms if builder not able to give on time. Ask the builder about the Carpet area and Total super built up area and what will be written in Agreement. Ask what all utilities and facilities are in built provided upon sale like Fans, Furniture in kitchen, Home UPS/Inverter etc. At many far suburb locations of Mumbai like Nalasopara & Virar, some / many properties don’t have OC and instead get something called ‘Collector Passing’ certificate. This kind of properties are not entertained by leading banks, yet some small co-operative banks do sanction loans.

In absence of Occupancy certificate:- At the time of possession, the builder has to send your details to the authority concerned, who will then issue your occupancy certificate or no-objection certificate. These are important documents to have because an OC proves that the building you plan to occupy has been built as per the approved plan. Unless you have an OC, basic amenities such as water and sanitary connection are also not provided.

Q: is there any problem with Cosmos Hemgiri in thane w How price is LOw

My replies to this discussion
Hi, Prices of a property depend on the locaton, connectivity, basic nearby facilities, proximity to the nearby, schools, colleges, hospitals, malls, bus stop, nearby railway station, markets, banks, ATMs, Aiport etc. If the project is far from the main road the price is lower than the road side property. So, it seems to me that this project is far from the city crowd and the infrastructural development of the locality is less compare to the other locality of Thane.

Hi All, According to me, Mira Road is a fast growing real estate hotspot in the MMR in recent times. The area emerged as a destination for affordable housing. The area grew rapidly due to its great connectivity to prime suburbs of MMR and its affordable property prices, and emerged into a fully developed area. It continues to be popular among the middle income group for both purchase and rent. Considering the planned infrastructure initiatives and the increasing demand for housing, one can expect a considerable growth in the areas real estate market in the near future.
Hi folks, You should invest or buy property in a good locality where connectivity, infrastructure development and daily basic amenities are near to your residence. I think, Kharghar is one of the most well planned nodes of Navi Mumbai. It is a fast developing residential as well as commercial micro market in Raigad district of Maharashtra. It is developed by CIDCO. Upcoming Navi Mumbai Metro Rail project has boost this area. Its proximity to the Belapur CBD, along with its good connectivity, green surroundings and infrastructure developments like wide roads, skywalks, Central Park, Golf Course etc. are some of the factors that have led to growth and high residential demand in Kharghar

Till then buyers should analyze their needs well to decide if they should buy from the projects available now, or if they can wait until clearness comes out via the new Development Plan. Am i right?

Hi Abhishek and Ashish, You mean to say that the coming year will be a period of uncertainity and a number of project launches will be stopped. Then Developers will must have difficulty to lock project layouts as the new plan will have different rules for open space regulations, height restriction of buildings and general usage of space.
Yes, and it will help the buyers in many ways as Maharashtra Govt. has directed MCGM to submit a re-worked plan by August, after which it will be open for further suggestions.

Q: Booked a flat in building shiv sahyadri just adjacent to deepmala ,project of the same builder.I booked flat 3.5 years before and yet even the building that is being redeveloped has not been demolished.I am worried whether they will even start the project ,and also about construction quality of the builder.

My replies to this discussion
Hi, Nobody can say what is going on in developers mind. So, better visit the developers office and find out the reason of delay. As you are saying that you have booked your flat 3.5 years back, even the construction work has not yet started. Ask the builder for the approvals. Is there any issue with the construction? Check your agreement whether there is any delay of compensation is mention or not. Take the advice of a legal expert.Hi, Nobody can say what is going on in developers mind.

Q: What can the real estate sector expect from the union budget 2015-2016?

My comments to replies
Hey all, We have all seen the budget 2015-16 and there was nothing for the real estate sector. So, my question is how Budget 2015-16 affects real estate sector?
Hi Ketal, you can not say that there war nothing for the realty market in budget 2015-16. There were some positive signs like "housing for all by 2022" and some policy announcements regarding REITs. On the other hand, the Government confirmed its commitment towards affordable housing and real estate sector in its whole as the RBI announced a repo rate cut of 25 basis points almost immediately after the Budget announcement.
7th May 2015
I heard a lot of this "Housing for all by 2022" What does this mean and how will it help the common people?
7th May 2015
Let's see how this government taps the public-private-partnership model to achieve the best possible results for the sector as well as for the end-users. How it affect on loan to value ratio-Inclusion of stamp duty, registration and documentation charges in the cost of houses by banks?

Q: I am planning to buy 2bhk flat in Nyati Equatorial, Bavdhan. I had certain question as below 1) Does it comes in PMC or gram panchayat limits? 2) Do we have water shortage in this area? 3) How about basic amenities here?

My replies to this discussion
As far as project connectivity is concerned, Bavdhan is well connected to Kothrud, Paud Road, Baner, Aundh, Pashan, University circle, Sus village via excellent roads. The train station is about 10 km away (20 mins) and the airport about 15 km away (35-40 mins). Sutarwadi, Abhinav Collge and Bavdhan village are the major stops for PMPML buses that cater to passengers. Direct buses are available from these stops to Deccan Gymkhana, Marketyard [3] and Pune Station.[4]As far as project connectivity is concerned, Bavdhan is well connected to Kothrud, Paud Road, Baner, Aundh, Pashan, University circle, Sus village via excellent roads.

My comments to replies
Hi Krunal, Bavdhan comes under Pune Municipal Corporation and it's civic agency also comes under Pune Municipal Corporation. Almost a decade back, Bavdhan was like any other extended suburb having fragmented development without proper grocery shops, no roads, water, electricity etc. However, because of its location, the residential demand increased in Bavdhan and established players started developing housing projects with modern-day needs and amenities meeting the customer needs. The trend continued and Bavdhan today has become more acceptable and established destinations now.
Hi Arup, The Commonwealth Youth Games, which took place in 2008, also largely contributed towards the changed looks of the catchment and got plenty of new infrastructural developments like wide roads, street lights, cleaning of surroundings, regular bus services, civic amenities, etc.

Right Vinay, As far as locality's connectivity is concerned, Mira road provides excellent connectivity to Mira Bhayandar as well as various other parts of MMR. The area has Western Express Highway (WEH), which is part of NH-8, passing through it. It is also connected to Ghodbunder Road in the east, thus providing connectivity to the western suburbs with the eastern suburbs, Thane and Navi Mumbai. R egular BEST buses are available in the area.
14th July 2015

Right Dharmesh, Residential project prices currently range from Rs 3000 to Rs 15000/sq-ftfor the Navi Mumbai region. Steady absorption is expected to continue with affordable pricing levels and pick up with more visibility on work of the new airport. As a result of these positive developments the rates would see a band width of lowest rate as Rs 10000 per sq ft at any location in Navi Mumbai.
Hey Sishir, If you are planning to buy property in Navi Mumbai then Ulwe in Navi Mumbai should be your first choice. It is one of the fastest growing nodes of Navi Mumbai. This node has been planned and developed by CIDCO and is fast becoming a preferred destination for many home buyers. The Uran Road and JNPT Road pass through Ulwe connecting it to localities such as Greater Khanda, Kharghar, CBD Belapur and Panvel. The Vashi Railway Station is the nearest railway station. The nearest airport is Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport.
15th May 2015
As far as transportation is concerned, the main modes of transport in the locality are buses and auto-rickshaws but there are very few of them. The Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) runs bus services from Vashi, Nerul, Kharghar, Uran and Belapur to Ulwe. A railway station being built nearby called the Bamandongri railway station.

Hello Khushi, This is mainly due to the infrastructure, connectivity, amenities and the luxurious lifestyle of people. Bandra is also home to several Bollywood celebrities. This area is getting more popularity for rental accommodations due to the appearance of Bandra Kurla Complex. It is also close to southern Mumbai, which is mainly a business district. Though Bandra is a luxurious suburb, one can find few 1 and 2BHK flats for monthly rentals of Rs 25000-30000. Most of these have a covered area of 500-600 sq-ft.

Hi Everybody, As per the Maharashtra government affordable housing is not so far. They are ready to 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 Shantanu, Maharashtra CM was speaking at a conference on "Vision Maharashtra - Housing For All by 2022" organized by National Real Estate Development Council. As per the Maharashtra CM, they have taken this issue very seriously and are fully commited to apply it. Govt. will make the laws versatile and he am ready to face criticism.
24th April 2015
Even the 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. It really sound great but it need instant implement. At the same time , through this, the govt could eliminate its Rs.350000 crore financial debt pressure got from the past program.

Well said Mirani, Customers are looking for completed projects instead of those under construction because they are careful when it comes to buying luxury houses. Another reason was, customer was more intelligent, Today, customers are more intelligent. They do not mind giving a little premium and buying a completed apartment. Therefore, one of the difficulties luxury builders has to face is that there should be enough cash flow to complete the projects.

Hi Sunil, How did they come to this conclusion? Which city has shown the worst performance in comparison to rest of the cities?
Good question Kaushik, The lists are based on cost, sale and delivery of 21000 projects across 14 cities. Delhi was excluded because its supply of new homes has been both irregular and insignificant. Mumbai, which was ranked the most attractive market in 2009, saw a fall of 7th mark, and now stands 8th. And Delhi's suburbs Gurgaon, Noida, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad are continue the worst for investing in new houses.

Hey Sunil, Are you Research Analyst? What was the reason that Bengaluru hit the top list? Did Bengaluru's information technology play a major role in it?
The other reason were, the city's emergence as India's leading information technology hub has enabled demand for real estate. In 2014, Bengaluru singly saw 50% more completed projects compared to 2013. And with almost 500 new projects in 2014, Bengaluru accounted for 20% of the total number of new projects launched in India's top 14 cities.

Q: If you are looking for a luxury house then Andheri East would be the right area for luxury housing.
My comments to replies
Yes, once i visited the area for a week and found that the area is for luxury class people. The area once developed more as an industrial area compared with its western counterpart. It has started gaining popularity similar to Andheri West in terms of real estate. While the area doesn't offer affordable housing nowadays, one can look towards the area for luxury housing.
Right Abhijit, And most of the new residential units being launched in the area are high rise apartments. The locality offers a high number of 2BHK followed by 1BHK apartments and 3BHK and apartments but very few 4BHK.
28th May 2015

@Sunil, What are the percentage of the new apartments available in Luxury, mid and ultra-luxury segment and it's budget?
Good question Abhijit, I think most of the people never think to buy property in Andheri East due to it's high price tag. According to a recent report by CommonFloor, almost 42% of the new apartments are available in the luxury segment with a price range of Rs 1.2-2 crore. About 33% of the units are available in the mid-segment with a price range of Rs 60 lakh-1.2 crore, and the remaining 25% are in the ultra-luxury segment with a budget of more than Rs 2 crore.
28th May 2015
No, not at all. I am also a common man like you and looking for property in Andheri East. So, i inquired a lot about this area as well as collect some recent useful article on it. The weighted average price of the newly launched projects in the area is about Rs 14900/sq.ft. and the key growth factors are :- The first Mumbai Metro Line from Versova to Ghatkopar and Sahar Improved Road were opened last year. Both pass through Andheri East. This has improved connectivity to the area as well as the traffic conditions. Secondly, The area is closeness to luxurious areas such as Bandra and Khar, Mumbai International Airport, and business hubs such as Bandra Kurla Complex and SEEPZ SEZ is a huge driver for the realty market of Andheri East.

Hi Raj, The next stage is the choosing 20 cities in the 1st lot by end of the year and in the next 2 years 40 cities each will be selected for receiving Central funding of Rs 500 crore spread over the coming 5 yrs.

Hello everybody!!! 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.
Hello Jyothi!!! 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 centre 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.

Hi Rajib, About 12 crore people will be the direct beneficiaries of the Smart City project. 9 capital cities that could not be nominated for Smart City development are Patna, Itanagar, Shimla, Banglaore, Daman, Thiruvanathapuram, Puducherry, Gangtok and Kohima.

Yes, it is expected that It will be below 20% in case of water, below 60% in case of power and less than 80% for gas. Even the ministry have noted that for urban local governments, parking fee is an important source of revenue, besides having the dual impact of influencing commuting choices in favor of public transport.
I think you have wrongly mentioned the date. The current scenario is matching with your data. It was also suggested that where services can be measured and beneficiaries identified, user charges must be applied. Water and sewerage charges should be levied separately rather than built into property tax, as is done by some states.

Hi Lucky, Have you gon through the registration process? Then check your sale deed. Floor plan will be clearly mentioned on it. They can't changed the floor plan like that. Take the advice of a property lawyer.
Hi Lucky, It is a simple case of deficiency in service, you can file case against the builder in consumer redressal forum. Builder can not change the floor plan and amenities before informing their flat owners an taking their permission. Check your agreement which you have made with the first builder and take the help of a legal expert.

Q: One of the most common mistakes that many buyers of property make is doing business with developers who lack established credentials.

My comments to replies
Hmm, What will say about the poor construction? It is mostly seen that the quality of the construction is not as per the developers credibility?
Good question Shantanu...... But for reputed developers, credibility is the key to their brand recognition. It is their primary competitive advantage in the market. Therefore, they will never offer a homes that have construction defects like bad electrical fittings/wiring, faulty plumbing, water seepage, bad drainage, etc.

You are right Arup, Also required is an assessment bill to the Society from the municipality in question, a NOC from the Collector if the building exists on Collector's land, a copy of the property card, and a receipt for the payment of registration fees. In addition, the buyer of a resale flat should ask for a clear ownership history if the residential property has changed hands before.You are right Arup, Also required is an assessment bill to the Society from the municipality in question, a NOC from the Collector if the building exists on Collector's land, a copy of the property card, and a receipt for the payment of registration fees.

Hey Felix, As i know that society share certificate is most important document and the further transaction is not possible without it. So, at the same time, proper transfer and re-registration is necessary. Better, you should take the advice of a legal expert and then proceed.

It is true. And if we marked against pan-India figures, the numbers are highly slopped towards the higher ticket sizes in Mumbai. Very few units in the affordable range were available from all these launches and mostly were in the suburban locations. Even if one looks at the overall inventory, there is very little stock Rs 65 lakh in the affordable range of and below in Mumbai's municipal limits. It is true.

My comments to replies
This move will definitely boost the investor confidence in the sector. Many companies have stayed away from making more investment due to delay in clearance of projects.
It is because of the government's target is to bring in private investment worth Rs 75000 crore in the roads sector during the 12th Plan. Though the government has ambitious plans to boost investments, projects worth just around Rs 6000 crore that could be awarded in 2014-15.

Hello Lekshmi, If you are buying an under-construction property from a developer, in such a case, the developer is deemed considered to be the provider of construction services to the home buyer. So, service tax is charged to the home buyer on the cost of construction. It is not charged on the entire value of the property, but only on the cost of construction; land cost is excluded.Hello Lekshmi, If you are buying an under-construction property from a developer, in such a case, the developer is deemed considered to be the provider of construction services to the home buyer.

Hi Diwakar, A home buyer need not pay service tax on charges related to external and internal development (EDC and IDC) as these are collected by the developer and paid to the government authority for the related service provided by them. Affordable housing or low-cost housing where the carpet area is less than 60 sq. mt. (about 640 sq. ft) per house in approved housing projects is exempt from service tax.Hi Diwakar, A home buyer need not pay service tax on charges related to external and internal development (EDC and IDC) as these are collected by the developer and paid to the government authority for the related service provided by them.

Well Diwakar, For the purpose of calculation, 25% of the gross value of an under construction unit is considered as the cost of construction and service tax is charged on that amount. If the gross property value is higher than Rs.1 crore, service tax will be charged on 30% of the gross value.Well Diwakar, For the purpose of calculation, 25% of the gross value of an under construction unit is considered as the cost of construction and service tax is charged on that amount.

Look Lekshmi, Apart from the basic cost of the unit, a home buyer also has to pay additional charges such as for preferential location, club membership, rain water harvesting and others. If a home buyer takes services of a property agent or lawyer, their fees too attracts service tax. If taking a home loan, service tax is charged on the home loan processing fee. Home insurance premium, too, has it.

No, it is illegal and definitely it will spoil the appreciation of beauty of the building and you should not do any modification unless the society members agrees for it. If it is a safety issue, many other residents would also have similar problems. So try to push your points unitedly with others for positive outcome.
I fully endorse the views expressed by Mr Piyush. Each RWA has bye-laws governing all aspects of the admin in the society premises. there is an elected managing committee to look after the day-to-day running of the society. in addition there is an AGM where all the association members gather and take decisions which effect the society and its residents. I feel that you should apply in writing to the MC regarding this issue and request for its inclusion in the agenda for discussion. in case you do not find any favorable decision in the MC meeting and the proposed modification is not in contravention of the bye-laws of the society, then you may approach the District Registrar of Society for necessary action in the matter.

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 comments to replies
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-ft
You should also keep in mind that Balcony defines open area with roof (slab at floor height), attached to the main unit that buyer has exclusive rights to use and resell (with the main unit). Generally balcony area is added to total carpet area. FSI is applicable to balconies.

Right Piyush, The proposal for the sea link has created great buying interest in the Panvel, Nhava-Sheva, Uran belt up to Alibaug, which is now being touted as the 3rd Mumbai. this is largely because areas such as Vashi in Navi Mumbai, have already started commanding anywhere between Rs 10000-30000/sq-mt.

Q: I just want to know What are the process charges for the Resale Flat. are they necessary Stamp Duty - OK Registration Charges - OK LBT/VAT - OK Legal Charges - Ok Transfer Charges - Taken care by the seller (?) NOC Charges- ??? & What % is the NOC charges please help to clearify

My replies to this discussion
Good evening Krishna, Most of the housing societies and association pressurize buyer/seller and take extra money as NOC Charges. They call it by different names like "Development Charges", "Infra Fund" , "NOC Charges" and what not. But it is a matter of sad that buyer and seller are mostly in a hurry to close the transaction. So, this practice goes on and nobody is there to oppose. Society also makes money. So residents don't oppose. These charges are shared 50:50 by buyer and seller. If you want to fight the society, you can complain to the registrar. Else just pay your Rs.25000 and close the deal.Good evening Krishna, Most of the housing societies and association pressurize buyer/seller and take extra money as NOC Charges.

Mansoor has provided very useful information on MHADA Resale flat buying. Apart from that agreement of sale to be made, Stamp duty and Registration charges(about 35000) to be pauid, registration to be done on your name by going to Sub registrar office (You and buyer will need Photo ID and PAN Card, passport Photo) two witness with Photo ID and photo (Many Agents do the Registration work and they will let you know you the more and it is easy through them, they charge about 4 to 5 thousend). Once registration is done legally you become the owner but for Mhada Flat you also need Mhada Flat transferred on your name by MHADA.Mansoor has provided very useful information on MHADA Resale flat buying.

Hi Sujatha, This Project is located in the heart of Navi Mumbai. This locality is good to have your own bungalow and farm house plot at village Chirle. But there are lot's of fraud cases are coming to hear specially on plots. So be careful, check all the legal approvals as this area is coming under Gram Panchayat, so ask for the collectorate approval and then go for it. Ask for the clear land title and latest tax receipt too before booking.Hi Sujatha, This Project is located in the heart of Navi Mumbai.

Hi Keshav and Sadashiva!! Currently, if a project is delayed, then the developer does not suffer in any way. But now, the law make sure that any delay in project completion will make the developer liable to pay the same interest as the EMI being paid by the consumer to the bank back to the consumer. If it happens, developer will try to hand over the flat possession on time keeping the delay fine in mind. And most importantly, every project measuring more than 500 sq-mt. or more than 8 apartments will have to be registered with RERA.Hi Keshav and Sadashiva!!

Hi Gurmeet!! Development charges of Rs 350/sq-mt. for residential and Rs 700/sq-mt. for commercial. Since the builder is demanding the charges at the time of formation of the society you need to find about the amount each flat owner has to pay based on the carpet area (not built up area) of the flat. In fact it almost comes more than one lakh as it is 500 sq-mtrs to 2000 sq-mtrs - charges are Rs. 170000 in Kharghar. .Hi Gurmeet!!

Yes, because this decision is expected to push property prices, including land prices, down as investors will not be able to deploy their cash in real estate and thereby forcing builders to sell at lower prices. Property markets will see around 25–30% correction in prices. Even builders who claim that they accept only cheques will also be forced to reduce prices given the market conditions around them.
I am agree with Anand......Apart from big property markets, tier II and III cities will be worst affected. The practice of investing unaccounted wealth is widely prevalent in real estate and the government’s latest decision is expected to make things difficult for developers. There is bound to be a downward pressure on prices of everything including real estate. This can be a good opportunity for end users to buy their dream homes.

Right Abhishke. 180 sq.ft carpet area for approx 47 lacs including taxes or even more, rate per sq.ft on carpet area comes to 26100 that is just 5% less than what Wadhwa Group is quoting for the Address at Ghatkopar Rs.1.73Cr for 630 carpet area, Which obviously is an high end Township will all amenities, and selling at the same price, just the ticket size has been reduced to fool the middle class and 1st time buyers.Right Abhishke. 180 sq.ft carpet area for approx 47 lacs including taxes or even more, rate per sq.ft on carpet area comes to 26100 that is just 5% less than what Wadhwa Group is quoting for the Address at Ghatkopar Rs.1.73Cr for 630 carpet area, Which obviously is an high end Township will all amenities, and selling at the same price, just the ticket size has been reduced to fool the middle class and 1st time buyers.

Hi Vishal, Diva Junction serves as the major link between places like Thane, Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. An important junction between Mumbra and Kopar, this locality is effectively linked with all adjoining areas via Road and Railways. The Mumbai-Pune road that runs alongside Diva Gaon provides easy access to the inhabitants of this area by connecting the place with the two prime cities.
Yes, and apart from that, Dombivili is the nearest locality to Diva Gaon that is linked via Manpada Road. This has induced several working professionals to settle in and around the area. The Bhiwandi Kalyan-Shilphata Road is the major road that effectively links the area with places like Mumbai-Pune Highway and Mumbai-Nashik Highway.

I would like to advice you to do your all due diligence before investing in any such plots. This locality comes under forest zone. Hence, construction activities have been stopped near it. Also check where the plots have got NOC from Airport Authority of India or not. Better, take the advice of a legal expert in this matter.I would like to advice you to do your all due diligence before investing in any such plots. This locality comes under forest zone.

Q: Hi I am in the process of buying a resale flat in Kandivli Area. It is a 2BHK flat. Here is the situation: - Original agreement from Builder to first owner had 3 flats each of 210, 235 and 195 sq ft carpet area - However, the building was constructed differently for some reason and all 3 flats were combined into 1 with total carpet area of 720 sq ft - Agreement from Builder to first owner has 3 separate agreements with 210,235 and 195 sq ft - Agreement from First builder to second builder has 720 sq ft carpet area - Society NOC provided at the time purchase made by second owner has 720 sq ft carpet area - Index 2 page has 720 sq ft carpet My concern is why is there a difference between original agreeement and all other agreements. Also, is it safe to go ahead with the deal? Are there any other documentation that I should be checking to be extra sure on this? Please advice Thank you and good luck!
