Q:
I’ll be joining TCS at the Kochi Infopark from next month. Where should I rent an apartment – Kakkanad or Kalamassery?
My replies to this discussion
Hey, both the areas are good for renting out apartments. But if you will be working at the Kochi Infopark then I would suggest that you go for Kakkanad. Your office would be so much closer to your home then. It would save a lot of money and time on commuting.
You can check out the properties under the Crystal Valley project, the Green Vistas Infrastructure project, the Trinity World project, DLF New Town Heights, and Olive Kalista project.Hey, both the areas are good for renting out apartments.

Q:
How much is the property tax in Kochi?
My replies to this discussion
Property tax is a form of revenue for corporations, municipalities and gram panchayats. If you own a property in Kochi you will have to pay Rs. 20 per square metre. But, this amount may increase according to various factors like material used, location of your property, and the age of your property. A new plinth-area based tax system was implemented by the Kerala government in 2013.Property tax is a form of revenue for corporations, municipalities and gram panchayats.

Q:
How much do I have to pay for electricity every month in Kochi?
My replies to this discussion
Hey, electricity in Kochi is charged as per units consumed by you. So you will need a metered electricity connection sanctioned by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB). There are different slabs of electricity usage and each slab has a different rate of electricity.
Generally, the regular domestic houses use up 40-80 units of power in a month. If your power usage falls in that bracket then you will be charged Rs. 1.90 for every unit of power use. So if you use up 60 units of power, your electricity bill will be Rs 114.Hey, electricity in Kochi is charged as per units consumed by you.

The rest of the amount can be paid in installments of 10%, 2.50% and 3 % and so on. On handing over, the total cost has to be paid.I think that the process of booking here is like this.

Is there still water-logging in Kochi city?
My replies to this discussion
Yes, the water-logging hasn't reduced at all. The recent rains has made living in Kochi miserable. Many of the low-lying areas of Kochi have water-logged roads which is making life tough for two wheeler riders and pedestrians. Localities in Kochi such as Chakkalappadam, Mattancherry, Kaloor, North Paramara Road, Fort Kochi, Azad Road, and north and south Ernakulam face constant water-logging issues. A few days of rain, and most parts of the city has knee-deep water.

Q:
Doesn’t Kochi have a proper plan in disposing or recycling e-wastes? What happens to the e-waste in there?
My replies to this discussion
Hey, last month I vacated my house and I had a lot of e-wastes to dump, like my old keyboard, monitor, some unused calculators, batteries, and some more electronic items. But I can’t find any special segregation to dump them, and so I dumped them along with my normal garbage. Although I know this is not the way to go about it, I had not many options as Kochi corporation has not issued any guidelines or directions on how and where to dispose e-wastes.Hey, last month I vacated my house and I had a lot of e-wastes to dump, like my old keyboard, monitor, some unused calculators, batteries, and some more electronic items.

The present scenario says that there are no policies laid out for the proper disposal of e-wastes. This was told by Kochi Corporation’s town planning committee chairman K J Sohan. The current condition is that, the collection, segregation, dismantling, and recycling of electronic wastes are carried out largely by unorganised sectors. They collect various e-wastes like RAM chips, CPUs, monitors, and keyboards from scratch and sell them to small time deals and scratch collectors. The buyers are all come from various cities like Coimbatore, Mumbai, and Delhi.The present scenario says that there are no policies laid out for the proper disposal of e-wastes.

Q:
Are property prices and Indian currency expected to get strengthened since there is a new government formed? Also I am an NRI and willing to buy a property in Kochi. Are there many NRIs investing in properties in India?
My replies to this discussion
The new government looks promising and the general public reception of the government is also good. So considering all these, the realty sector and currency will strengthen. Also NRIs like you prefer to buy properties in the range of 20 to 40 lakh rupees.

Q:
I recently read an article about the pollution levels in Kochi and how they have been rising. Is it true?
My replies to this discussion
Yes, the pollution level in Kochi is really bad. I recently read a report which said that Kochi is the 24th worst polluted city in the country. These industries are the main problem, they don't adhere to the rules that the government has laid down, and the government don't take any action against them. The Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) is more than the limit it should be, and in areas like MG Road, Kalamassery, and Ernakulam South it is the worst. So many people in the city are falling sick because of the pollution. Many people get astha or some respiratory problem. This is very sad what is happening to our beautiful city.Yes, the pollution level in Kochi is really bad.

Q:
Have the Asten Mather group given a possession date for the Campus Court project in Kochi? How good is the project?
My replies to this discussion
I recently was checking for apartments for my brother, and I stumbled upon this project. I think it is a good project to buy into. The builders are pretty reputed in Kochi and this project is in a nice locality. The Smartcity project is only 1.5kms from the area, and Vytilla and Tripunithura are also very close by. You will also find many schools, hospitals and malls close to the project. If you are planning to work at the Smartcity, then you should close your eyes and buy this project. There will be CCTV monitors for your security, intercom, rain water harvesting, backup generator, elevators, and many fire protection measures.I recently was checking for apartments for my brother, and I stumbled upon this project.

Q:
Hello all, I am looking to relocate to Kochi from Mysore with my family, since my parents live there. However, I have come across many complaints regarding outbursts of malaria and water-borne diseases frequently during monsoons, and I’m concerned. Can anyone please let me know what the situation is?
My replies to this discussion
Hi, I absolutely agree with that. After a lot of complaints having been put forward, the government has taken this issue seriously. They are even conducting health camps on a massive scale to spread awareness among the people regarding these diseases, and to provide early treatment. All the major schools and other institutions are being targeted and soon they have promised to keep a lid on this outbreak. As far as the waterlogging is concerned, it is still a major issue in some areas like Mattancherry and Fort Kochi, but these issues are also being addressed by the local bodies and will soon be resolved.Hi, I absolutely agree with that.

Q:
Hello, I would like to know about the rental rates for a 3 BHK in Edapally. I will be moving there with my parents soon, so I would prefer a larger space. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
My replies to this discussion
Yeah I would say the same about Edapally, and the other thing is, you have to also look at the rental price per square feet. Obviously the rent rates are on the rise, and currently the average rent price per square feet is around 11 Rs. It should be around 10-12 Rs. per square feet, but that is just for the apartments. If you are looking at residential houses, then the rental prices are even more. For a good residential house, the rent should be around 14 to 16 Rs. per square feet.Yeah I would say the same about Edapally, and the other thing is, you have to also look at the rental price per square feet.

Q:
What are the property prices and amenities offered in the new housing project, Kent Oakville, in Vazhakkala? My father-in-law is planning to invest in some property over there, and I need to help him with it.
My replies to this discussion
I can help with the property prices in and around Vazhakkala. My brother, who I live with, is a full-time real estate agent and, like it or not, I keep getting bombarded with real estate jargon and insider info. Kent Oakville has been planned an upper-class modern residential colony that consists of flats as well as villas. A typical 3 BHK apartment, which covers a space of 1815 square feet, would cost you around Rs. 73 lakhs as per the present real estate market value. So, that means every square feet of space would be around Rs. 4000, or maybe more, for an apartment in this society. A villa will definitely cost you more, and you can expect a 4 BHK to be prices around Rs. 2.3 crores. The price per square feet for a villa is far higher at around Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 7,000.I can help with the property prices in and around Vazhakkala.

My replies to this discussion
Residents of Muvattupuzha, Perumbavoor, Mulavukadu and Kunnathunadu have complained about septic waste dumped in their neighbourhood, which caused a stench.

Kerala already has a lot of water borne diseases, and the open dumping of septic waste will only increase the number of diseases.Residents of Muvattupuzha, Perumbavoor, Mulavukadu and Kunnathunadu have complained about septic waste dumped in their neighbourhood, which caused a stench.

Q:
How much Service Tax and VAT should I pay for my apartment in Kochi?
My replies to this discussion
Service Tax is a tax by the Government on the services provided by a service provider. If you are planning to buy a new apartment, two of the taxes that you will have to pay is service tax and VAT. You have to pay a single service tax to the builder for construction services, excavation, site formation, site clearance, and the construction of the building. VAT or Value Added Tax is another tax that you will have to pay the builder. The Service tax that you have to pay is 12.3 per cent of 33 per cent which is 4 per cent of the total construction. The VAT that you have to pay for an apartment is 3 per cent.
The builder has to pay a separate VAT for the materials that he purchases. Materials like bricks have 4 per cent VAT and cement has 12.5 per cent VAT.Service Tax is a tax by the Government on the services provided by a service provider.

Q:
When I think of Kochi, I envision a calm, sprawling city that looks out over the ocean. And I want to keep it that way without spending much on a house. What do you think about Mattancherry in that regard?
My replies to this discussion
Hello! I wish Kochi was just as you want it to be. Believe me, I’m in need of peace and calmness just as much as you. But, for the same reason, I would dissuade you from living in Mattancherry. See, it’s close to sea, as per your budget, and really quaint to begin with. But when you actually live there, you might have some undesirable problems. A few years back, the residents of Mattancherry had complained to the local administrators of the lack of a proper water supply and a well-functioning drainage system. I don’t know how far these issues have been solves, but I will say that you need to be extra careful if you’re buying or renting out a house over here.Hello!

Q:
So I might have to move to Aluva in Kochi but I know nothing about the place. What sort of facilitites are lacking in this locality? Is it a good place to invest?
My replies to this discussion
So there was a time, actually it was just last year, when Aluva was facing acute water shortage and this was a result of high level of salinity in the Periyar river that pupmed water to Aluva. I remember how pissed off people got when the situation didn't get better even after a week! The solution to decrease this salinity, was adding more water from the Bhoothathankettu dam into this river so that there would also be more water content and water supply. But in 2011, I think the situation got very bad because the water levels had receded in the Periyar river like never before. It was very sad for the residents because everyday tasks come to a stand still when there's no water. But anyway, the situation is okay now but still precaution must be taken just in case!So there was a time, actually it was just last year, when Aluva was facing acute water shortage and this was a result of high level of salinity in the Periyar river that pupmed water to Aluva.

But in 2011, I think the situation got very bad because the water levels had receded in the Periyar river like never before. It was very sad for the residents because everyday tasks come to a stand still when there's no water. But anyway, the situation is okay now but still precaution must be taken just in case!
Q:
So I recently read in the news that the Kochi Metro Rail will do wonders for Tripunithra's real estate. What's the locality like in terms of its civic problems and property potential?
My replies to this discussion
Forget about Kochi metro rail for a second and think about the Tripunithra railway station. What a waste of the blood and sweat of the builders who constructed it because it is barely ever used and is underutilised. I had to travel 15 kms away to Ernakulum railway station just to catch a train because it never stopped at Tripunithra. Like it wasn't important enough or something! The situation is still like that. That's why this Kochi Metrol Rail project has been extended to Tripunithra. This is the only way that traffic congestion will also decrease in the streets. Anyway, let's hope something works out, and that this project finishes soon! Forget about Kochi metro rail for a second and think about the Tripunithra railway station.

Q:
Hey when is the second phase of the RAPDRP starting? Anybody has any more info on that? I’m a homebuyer, I need to know about the electricity situation in Kochi.
My replies to this discussion
I personally think that this will affect the real estate sector. Most tier 2 cities in India are at the moment struggling with electricity supply. In fact even some Tier 1 cities. So for Kochi to achieve this will be a big progress. This, along with major job opportunities growing up, more and more people are going to be flocking to this city. So I think now is a very good time for you to invest in the real estate market in Kochi. God knows how much the prices are going to shoot up after Kochi has such a strong electrical network system running through.I personally think that this will affect the real estate sector.

Q:
Hey guys, I’m considering investing in Kochi. I was told that the locality of Kalamassery has a lot of potential, what with the technology innovation zone and all that. Can you guys give me more info on this? What exactly is this technology innovation zone?
My replies to this discussion
So far the Start-up village and Biotech Park in Kalamassery are only providing IT, telecom and biotechnology facilities. The plan is to go beyond that. Six or eight other sectors of development, like electronics, agriculture and tourism, are being considered for expanding this technology zone. So with the growth of the technology innovation zone, we’re all set to see a rapid development in the real estate sector here. Already Kalamassery is one of the prime localities in Kochi. I think it has still some further potential for growth.So far the Start-up village and Biotech Park in Kalamassery are only providing IT, telecom and biotechnology facilities.

Hey I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the new civic projects being undertaken by Cochin Development Authority? What sort of infrastructural changes and facilities would these projects provide? Any info would help. Thanks!
My replies to this discussion
Under 'Mission Kochi', there are quite a few impressive advanced projects being carried out. The new municipal solid waste plant in Brahmapuram that was needed to be set up ages ago, is finally going to start isposing off 300 tonnes of waste everyday once the request for qualification and proposal are completed. They're planning on using new technoology techniques in this plant. Other projects are the 'e governance' and 'animal birth control (ABC)' programmes to be launched around September some time. There also plans of implementin new waste collection mechanisms and vehicle tracking management system for waste vehicles. These developments are sure to help Kochi really grow and increase its potential. Under 'Mission Kochi', there are quite a few impressive advanced projects being carried out.

Q:
Hai I have to move to Vaduthala but I heard that the road is very narrow and many accidents are caused. Has the Kochi Municipal Corporation extended this road yet?
My replies to this discussion
Even the area's MLA Hibi Eden, has allotted 5 lakhs for this road widening project. The thing is, that junction has so much traffic chaos every morning, and on top of that they go and put a level crossing in this area. It is such a tight situation that even ambulances here get trapped for very long time. It is also very dangerous because many accidents have been happening recently. It is important to remove that railway crossing in this area. And the road should definitely be widened and it is all thanks to the good work of the Ernakulum Residents Welfare Association that the project got its approval.

My replies to this discussion
The new municipal council had distributed 300 pipe compost units and 41 biogas plants. Each beneficiary had paid a subsidised rate of 2,113, for a biogas plant that cost Rs. 6,500 under the Suchitwa Mission. But later, this amount was increased to 10,500 requiring more contribution of funds from ech beneficiary. because of this, many people were withdrawing from the account and the municipal council was left with the responsibility of paying these people their deposits back. I think people's attitude need to change with regard to waste disposal and only then can these sort of projects create an impact. Residents from other localities passing throught this area are also known to dumb waste in canals and water bodies. The municipality now has plans of cleaning the dumbyard and setting up a plastic shredder in the vicinity. There are also plans of ensuring litter free zones in the municipality and 1.65 crore has been sanctioned for the project.The new municipal council had distributed 300 pipe compost units and 41 biogas plants.

Q:
I've been reading in the news that Kaloor faces many drainage problems and even infrastructural projects get disrupted because of it. Have the civic authorities done anything to fix the civic issues of the locality?
My replies to this discussion
The drains have been badly damaged in areas like MG road, kaloor, and other parts where construction of metro rail is going on. These areas will face the risk of inundation during the monsoon and all the drains are badly in need of repair. Most of the drains in Kaloor was damaged as a result of sand and other construction materials being dumped in it as a result of the metro rail project.Now the town will have to undertake a lot of cleaning procedures for these drains. The mayor actually just wrote to the CM about this issue without taking immediate action and this worsened the situation.

I need to commute everyday from Vennala to Kalamassery but I've heard about the pitiful road condition in the area. What have the municipal authorities done about the civic issues in Vennala?
My replies to this discussion
Oddly enough, the issue of the road is on disputed grounds. The Palachuvadu end of the road comes under the Thrikkakara Municipality and the Vennala end comes under the civic authorities. But both sides are not willing to do anything about this issue. How convenient. The road has been known to actually damage engines and motorists are quite pissed off with with the repair bills. But it seems a proposal worth Rs. 2.72 crore for the maintenance of the road has been forwarded for administrative sanction by the MLA. Hopefully the government will wake up from its slumber and take the initiative to fix such issues.Oddly enough, the issue of the road is on disputed grounds.

Q:
I might most probably be moving to Thevara but I want to know about the transportation facilities available here. Has the ferry resumed services again?
My replies to this discussion
Reaching the Thevara college junction was super peaceful from Nettoor with the ferry service because it is only 1.5 km away. But if we have to take national highway route in Kundannoor then it is 4 km away plus there is lots of traffic. This really was the quickest way to reach Thevara. Priyadarshini used to conduct 40 services a day and could seat a capacity of 15 people including 3 two wheelers. When the service stopped, there was a temporary boat that made 800 bucks daily but this soon stopped because it couldn't take many passengers and wasn't very well maintained.

Q:
I thought that the thevara road was badly in need of a road widening project but now that it might be shelved, won't the real estate potential of the locality also come down?
My replies to this discussion
But the Bund road project has already started now? This will also ease traffic in the area. The new road running parallel to SA Road will connect Thevara and Champakkara, through Thykoodam on NH Bypass. Not too sure what the current status is though about this. Oh by the way, real estate potential of Thevara really won't decrease because this project didn't come through. The metro rail that eventually is going to come up will be great for the locality as this major piece of infrastructure is enough for a number of developmental changes in the locality. In fact, a couple of years from now, property prices will definitely appreciate because of this project! :)But the Bund road project has already started now? This will also ease traffic in the area.

It is going to be a public-private venture, and the pattern being followed is the "design, build, finance, operate and transfer" or DBFOT. 10 acres of land is being provided by the govt in Brahmapura for this plant.

What happened to the last plant was many technical difficulties were there. it was being managed by a private company ad I don't think they did a very good job. Also barely any amount of garbage used to be treated per day. Now the new plant is to treat 500 tonnes of waste a day and also will be modified with advanced techniques. KITCO is already preparing for the thermal based power plant to treat non biodegradable waste. With this in check, I really doubt you'll face any difficulty living in Brahmapuram.

Q:
In terms of infrastructural development, can anyone tell me whether investing in Kochi would be a good idea?
My replies to this discussion
The real estate sector in Kochi seems to be getting very mature. Demand is rapidly increasing for land and developers have started many residential projects around the Kochi metro project. But the demand is more for fully furnished 2bhk apartments close to IT companies which costs about 50,000 bucks a month that youngsters usually rent on a sharing basis. But you also get rates like 8000 bucks in places like Kadavanthara and Kakkanad or 45000 rs in Marine Drive. The strict building rules have been ammended 3 years ago and because of that 40% of residential homes have not been sold cause of over supply. And the rate of investement in the outskirts of Kochi is only 15 to 20% because of poor infrastructure. There are negative points as well but the advantages of investing here outweigh the disadvantages. Think about it :)The real estate sector in Kochi seems to be getting very mature.

Q:
Will the construction of the Edapally flyover in Kochi increase real estate prices in the locality?
My replies to this discussion
Hey so the Edapally flyover project contruction was a pretty huge deal. It costed about 95 crores and was said to be completed sometime next year. We all really needed this work to start desperately because there wasn't a proper road connection from NH 47 to NH 14. The opening of the Lulu Mall earlier on in the year 2013 made it no better and there were many traffic jams. Not to mention accidents. But sadly, even though Delhi Metro authorities said okay to the project report and put L & T group on the job, there were still some hitches. The 2 laner was said to require 179 cents of the land and the 4 lane flyover was supposed to be 450 metres wide. So it ended up becoming very costly and the authorities said that it can be widened some other time. How convenient! Hey so the Edapally flyover project contruction was a pretty huge deal.

Q:
Hai, I am moving to Tripunithra soon but I don't know much about the locality. Does this area have good infrastructural facilities or does it face any civic issues or anything? Also what sort of institutions like hospitals and schools are close by?
My replies to this discussion
The Kochidanushkodi road is how Tripunithra is connected to Kochi. And beyond that it extends onto NH 47 A. Ettumannur Ernakulum Road, Hill Palace Road, and Eroor road are other roads that pass through Tripunithra. Even many public transport options are also there. Like autos and buses that will take you anywhere in Kochi. There is also Tripunithra railway station just 3 km from the locality's centre. Along the Salem Kochi Kanyakumari highway, 34 km away from Tripunithra is the Cochin international airport located at Nembussadery. All in all, I think this area is in a strategic position, not too far and not too close to the heart of Kochi. The Kochidanushkodi road is how Tripunithra is connected to Kochi.

Q:
I was thinking about buying property in Kalamassery but how well does the locality attract industrial sector to rent commercial spaces here? How good do you think my investment returns will be? Does the area have the potential to grow and develop further in the future?
My replies to this discussion
Actually I think I heard differently. Apparently the industrial firms operating in Kalamassery plan on shutting down real soon because of the lack of managerial efficiency, labour and capital. Many of the chemical, fertiliser and manufacturing industries are planning on closing and vacating their commercial spaces so that it can be put into real estate development. This area is soon soleley going to cater for residential housing and that's a good thing because properties here are quite affordable. Also because of the metro rail project and the cyber city project, Kalamassery is sure to witness a lot of growth within the next 5 years! :)Actually I think I heard differently.

1,201 registrations decline, from 8,121 in 2013 to 6,920 in 2014. That's quite a drastic change. Apparently the reason for this decline was mainly because of the sharp decline in the price of rubber as this area is very dependent on rubber. These are the other places in Kochi where property registration declined: Chennamangalam, Chengamanad, Mattancherry, Kaloorkkad, Koothattukulam, Kuruppampady, Maradu, Muvattupuzha , Njarakkal , Paravoor, Perumbavoor, Piravom , Pothanikkad and Sreemoolanagaram, However it went up in Alangad, Aluva, Angamaly , Edapally, Ernakulam, Kuzhuppilly, Mulanthuruthy, Thrikkakara and Tripunithura.1,201 registrations decline, from 8,121 in 2013 to 6,920 in 2014.

Hey there! Infra vantage sure is a nice place to reside in. It is availble for occupancy from August 2014 onwards.

If you are really interested in staying here then i would suggest that you take a look at this place as soon as possible before all the apartments get sold out. All the best.Hey there!

An added advantage is that these apartments are earthquake resistant, thus increasing their demand. I would suggest that you go ahead and take an apartment here because there is a good demand for it. It's an excellent choice if you want to move in here with your family coz it provides a play area for the kids and the area is well guarded. If it suits your requirements then go for it.

Q:
Hi, I'm moving to Kochi for my college, I have an apartment in Kadavanthra but I do not know anything about the surroundings. I want an overview of Kadavanthra please.
My replies to this discussion
Heyya! I recently moved to Kadavanthra and so far (5 months) it's been a pleasant stay. Kadavanthra is in the heart of the city and is well connected to main areas of Kochi. ATMs, banks, supermarkets, parlours, hospitals, parks etc are all within your reach here. There are a variety of restaurants (serving different cuisines) in Kadavanthra. Hangout spots like French Toast, Arabian Nights, Itty's, lavazza, Cocoa Tree are lovely places for good food and chill times with friends. Come Friday night, and you can head to Chimes or Ayela for a few drinks. If you're a party person, you can head to High Bar in Dreams Hotel for happening parties. Public transport is never really a problem as there are auto stands and bus stands here. Also, the nearest railway station is just 2 km away.Heyya!

Q:
Hey. I'm a student and I'm moving to Kochi for completing my high school. My school being in Vaduthala (Chinmaya Vidyalaya), I want to know about the Vaduthala area. Please mention if you know about any pg accomodation or flats for rent. I will be staying alone.
My replies to this discussion
As you are moving to Vaduthala for schooling purposes and going to be alone, I'd say it's better for you to stay in a PG accomodation. There are apartments you can take up on rental basis but that can be pretty expensive. So, if you're looking for gents PG accomodation you will find a few in Vaduthala itself, at a monthly rent of approximately Rs. 2000 and if you want ladies PG accomodation, you have to go to Pachalam or Elamakkara (around 2 - 4 km from Vaduthala). The monthly rent for a ladies PG would be in the range of Rs. 2500 - 3500. Though not the heart of the city, Vaduthala is well connected to main city areas such as MG Road, Palarivattom, Edapally etc. Public transport is easily accessible - auto stands and bus stands are many in number. The closest railway station is about 5 km away and the airport is 30 km away. Supermarkets, ATMs, banks, petrol bunks, restaurants, hospitals are all in the area.As you are moving to Vaduthala for schooling purposes and going to be alone, I'd say it's better for you to stay in a PG accomodation.

Q:
Moving to Kochi soon for work, my office will be in the Kochi Infopark. Is the locality of Tripunithura a good place to live? How much rent do I have to pay for an apartment there? I’m moving with my wife and kids.
My replies to this discussion
The exact rent amount will ultimately depend upon the type of apartment you are going for – number of bedrooms and total built-up area of the apartment. But roughly, a 2bhk will cost you between Rs 6000 and Rs 10000 per month, while a 3bhk will cost you from Rs 10000 to Rs 12500 per month approximately. Usually the average rate of rental apartments in this locality is Rs 8 per square foot. I think you should keep a minimum budget of at least Rs 10000.

Hi guys, I recently heard some news regarding Puravankara and Sobha builder in Marine Drive... is this true? What exactly are the details? I was planning on investing in this market, whom should I buy the apartment from?
My replies to this discussion
Ok so I think that it would be a good idea to invest in this upcoming project, simply because it has the backing of two major real estate developers of South India. Especially since Sobha builders are in the fold too, you wont need to worry about much... They will probably get the approvals from almost all the banks.

Yeah its such a tragedy. I think 3 people died when that building broke down. I have heard that there was something wrong with the construction, as in the building foundation was not strong enough to hold its own weight. See, this is exactly the kind of consequence that happens when people dont follow construction norms properly. Yeah its such a tragedy. I think 3 people died when that building broke down.

Since this is the only part of the road where the width is less than 12 m on either side of the road, they will need to adjust it and make the width even.

My replies to this discussion
Exactly, while convenient transportation is the agenda, most of the real estate is banking upon the location along the stretch. In my opinion, the property prices have already been on the rise. I think the rising position of Kochi as a business and commercial capital of Kerala is also a major reason for this change in the investment.Exactly, while convenient transportation is the agenda, most of the real estate is banking upon the location along the stretch.

The price of apartments in the area hold steady at Rs 3,200- 3,400 per sq. ft but this property is costing you double than what you would have paid for an apartment in the area. An individual house will also cost you around Rs 4,000 per sq. ft. But if you are still thinking about owning a villa in the community then you should go ahead because they have some nice facilities to offer.The price of apartments in the area hold steady at Rs 3,200- 3,400 per sq. ft but this property is costing you double than what you would have paid for an apartment in the area.

Isn't Villa florenza another project of the Anna Property builders. They have been in the real estate business for long and I think they have established residential apartments in kochi at Edapally, Ernakulam, and Panangad. Currently, they are working on 4 residential projects including this one.Isn't Villa florenza another project of the Anna Property builders.

Q:
Hey, i heard that there is going to be a survey to assess the impact of National Highway in Kochi? Is that true? Can someone please confirm the same?
My replies to this discussion
The reports will also include details on those indirectly affected by the eviction such as the wayside traders and their employees. I think that it is a very good idea to spread the survey around like that.The reports will also include details on those indirectly affected by the eviction such as the wayside traders and their employees.

Hi, I want to know more about any development going on in the kochi's infrastructure development, especially, the Kochi metro.
My replies to this discussion
Oh..yeah..added to the technological advantage of this system, I think eventually, the metro trains can even be controlled without a driver as the system will use highly advanced technology. I think the Tata LC is the agency that the government is trying to bring in to come up with the requirements of the passengers.Oh..yeah..added to the technological advantage of this system, I think eventually, the metro trains can even be controlled without a driver as the system will use highly advanced technology.

Q:
Hi, I wanted to know about the unofficial power cuts that are happening in Kochi regularly now. This is causing much trouble. Can I know some detailed information about this?
My replies to this discussion
Again, you can see a grim situation in the power shortage. Increasing demand for power without a corresponding growth in generation
is likely to perpetuate the grim scenario prevailing in the power
sector in the State.Again, you can see a grim situation in the power shortage. Increasing demand for power without a corresponding growth in generation

Q:
Hi, I want to know about the condition of the Ernakulam Town Railway station and the development works going on in there.
My replies to this discussion
Nowadays, I think that there is no cleaning of the platforms due to the water shortage. Also, passengers frequently complain about dry taps in toilets, particularly during the morning hours. I think we should tackle the problem very fast. Otherwise summer is coming and we will be in great trouble.

Hello, Have the Kochi Metro Authority taken relevant steps to divert traffic now that the metro work is crowding up the roads?
My replies to this discussion
The vehicles also move along the Perandoor road, Edappally Raghavan Pillai road, Ponekkara road, Ponevazhi road, railway station road to reach the national highway 17 near the Kaloor old market. So this is a really busy road and if hawkers are let to take over the roads, then there is a huge problem.The vehicles also move along the Perandoor road, Edappally Raghavan Pillai road, Ponekkara road, Ponevazhi road, railway station road to reach the national highway 17 near the Kaloor old market.

Q:
I am planning to buy 2-3 BHK Villa (preferable) or Flat in Kochi for renting and as an investment. Please advise the locations and suggest me some projects nearing or ready for possession from where I can get a monthly rental income of Rs 15000-20000 per month.
My replies to this discussion
Edapally is one of the good choice for earning rental capital. It is one of the quickest growing areas in Kochi, and the rental rates are only going to keep increasing. Typically, for a 3 BHK you would have to shell out around fifteen to twenty thousand a month, depending on how big the apartment is. Edapally is one of the good choice for earning rental capital.
